Halloween may look a little different this year, but there\u2019s nothing stopping you breaking out the witch\u2019s hat and vampire teeth and having a good dress up. In recent years, however, Halloween costumes have moved away from the classic bin-bag capes and bedroom-sheet ghosts of old \u2013 with revellers young and old opting for a more refined getup on All Hallows\u2019 Eve.<\/p>\n

Given the enduring popularity of Disney, it\u2019s no surprise that the legendary entertainment brand now accounts for thousands of Halloween costume ideas every year. From Maleficent to Spider-Man, Buzz Lightyear to Black Panther, Disney\u2019s huge collection of iconic big-screen characters provides limitless inspiration for a not-so-spooky Halloween celebration.<\/p>\n

The question is, which Disney characters will prove the most popular Halloween costumes in 2020? And out of the brand\u2019s four major franchises \u2013 including Disney Animation, Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar \u2013 which heroes and villains are most likely to be replicated on 31 October?<\/p>\n

To find out, we\u2019ve gathered Google search data on the most popular Disney Halloween costumes, broken down by franchise, as well as the year-on-year change for the past four years. Take a look at what we discovered below.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Most Popular Disney Halloween Costumes in 2020<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Trick-or-treating may be off the cards this year, but dressing up for a stay-at-home Halloween bash is still very much encouraged. If you\u2019re planning a Disney-themed outfit this Halloween, here we look at the top 10 most popular costume ideas for 2020.<\/p>\n

Given the success of recent Spider-Man films, it\u2019s no surprise Spidey stole the top spot as the most popular Disney costume of 2020. Because what youngster (or not-so-youngster) wouldn\u2019t want to dress up as one of the big screen\u2019s best-loved superheroes?<\/p>\n

And, while we\u2019re on the topic of heroes and heroines, the top 10 is dominated with such characters \u2013 from the astronomically-popular Elsa from Frozen to Iron Man, Buzz Lightyear and Captain America. Indeed, save for Maleficent, the only villain on the shortlist, the top ten is full of Disney heroes, heroines and good guys \u2013 suggesting that Halloween costumes are moving away from the scary ghosts and ghouls of old.<\/p>\n

How Have Disney Halloween Costumes Changed Over the Years?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now that we\u2019ve looked at the most popular Disney Halloween costumes for 2020, it\u2019s time to look back at how our tastes have changed in recent years. With new films and franchises comes new dress-up possibilities, and it\u2019s clear that preferences have changed a lot over the past half a decade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

From the chart, there are some interesting changes to note, and these largely fall in line with when new Disney films were released. For example, in 2017, Stormtrooper costumes proved one of the most popular Halloween dress-up ideas, after the huge success of Last Jedi and The Force Awakens. The same can be said of interest in Elsa costumes in 2020, after the release of Frozen II thrust the character back into the limelight.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say film releases are the only thing which affects interest in Disney Halloween costumes. In 2018, Moana knocked Spider-Man off the top spot, despite her last franchise film being released in 2016. We can\u2019t account for this spike in interest, but it has to be said that Moana is perhaps one of the least spooky Halloween costumes on the shortlist.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Disney Animation Halloween Costumes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Exploring deeper into Disney\u2019s most lucrative franchises, here we\u2019re taking a look at the top 10 costumes from its beloved Disney Animation movies, which include classics like Snow White and Aladdin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Maleficent proved the most popular Disney Animation Costume, and it has to be said that the frightening villain makes a great fit for Halloween. Good luck to every parent tasked with recreating Maleficent\u2019s iconic horned headpiece, though!<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, new Disney princesses like Elsa and Moana outstripped classics like Snow White, Cinderella and Rapunzel \u2013 suggesting that Disney\u2019s modern heroines have been a big hit with younger viewers.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Star Wars Halloween Costumes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Star Wars costumes have always been a popular choice for Halloween, even before the franchise was bought out by Disney back in 2012. Here\u2019s a look at 10 of the most popular Halloween costumes from the epic space saga.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Star Wars bucks the trend compared to other Disney film franchises, with the majority of its most popular costumes being villains. The Stormtrooper costume is, without doubt, the most popular Halloween getup, while Darth Vader and Kylo Ren came above heroes like Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Marvel Halloween Costumes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Marvel Universe accounts for some of the most popular Halloween costumes of the past decade, with its classic superheroes inspiring thousands of makeshift get-ups on 31 October. Here\u2019s a look at the top 10 most popular costumes from the franchise.<\/p>\n

\"marvel<\/figure>\n

As you\u2019d expect, Spider-Man is the frontrunner in the Marvel Universe, way ahead of counterparts like Iron Man and Captain America. The release of Black Panther in 2018 saw a huge leap in interest for the title character\u2019s costume, with T\u2019Challa leapfrogging Marvel rivals like Thor, Thanos and Captain America to reach the number three spot.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Pixar Halloween Costumes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pixar and its hopping lamp have been responsible for some of Disney\u2019s most recognisable characters over the years, so it\u2019s no surprise its franchises still account for hundreds of great Halloween costumes. Let\u2019s take a look at the top 10 most popular outfits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Predictably, Toy Story, one of Disney\u2019s highest-grossing movie franchises, dominates the top 10 costumes list, with even lesser-known characters like Bo Peep coming in ahead of heroes like Mr Incredible and Mike Wazowski, from Monsters Inc. Buzz Lightyear was, of course, the winner in this category, followed closely by love interest, Jessie, and partner in crime, Woody.<\/p>\n
