Disney has announced that it will be selling non-medical, reusable cloth face masks to customers in the US. The cloth face masks will be styled to feature Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars characters.

Disney’s masks will feature Anna and Elsa from Frozen; Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story; The Avengers; R2D2 and Baby Yoda.

They are designed in line with the CDC’s recommendation that people wear cloth face coverings when in public to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Disney adds that the cloth masks are not for use of medical personnel treating COVID-19 patients.

Our hope is that Disney’s cloth face masks featuring some of our most beloved characters will provide comfort to the families, fans, and communities that are so important to us,” senior vice president of Disney store and shopDisney, Edward Park, said in a statement.
