"Haven't you ever asked why we use this gloves?"

- various characters

Opera gloves or toon gloves are a main characteristic of cartoon characters; white, four-fingered gloves have been seen used by toons in shows since the early 1930's. Originally an addition of Walt Disney himself to the classic Mickey Mouse cartoons, to recognize the hands from the bodies when near, the gloves are now seen on hands of many famous cartoon stars, not only from Disney, but also characters as Looney Tunes from other studios.
