Most headdresses on the market are EVA foam or pure cotton, and the material is relatively light. Generally, the head of this puppet has no special shape, and it is generally round, which is the simplest and most convenient to make. The connection method is simply to wear it on the head, and this kind of headgear can even rotate 360 degrees on the head.
As can be seen from the appearance comparison, the appearance of Disney headdress is much more complicated. In order to keep the shape and appearance smooth, Disney headdresses are made of hard materials. The internal structure of the headgear is more complicated. To make this shape concave, a large number of steel frames are needed to support the interior, otherwise it will collapse soon.

The internal structure of the headgear belongs to Disney's trade secrets, and every staff member is not allowed to take off the headgear outside, let alone publish it, so we can't see the accurate internal structure diagram. But what is certain is that when an actor is attacked by an external force, the force will accompany the weight of the whole headgear and hit the actor's head, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to them.
If the position of the headgear is accidentally forced to shift, the actor's spine will also be injured. What is even more frightening is that even if the actor avoids the external force hitting his head and injuring his spine, he may still face the danger of perforation of the tympanic membrane. As we all know, sound is transmitted through the medium. Due to the vibration of objects, sounds can be produced. Sound is a wave produced by the vibration of materials, and we need to rely on the medium to hear it.
