Which Disney Movie Needs Character In The Parks

[Greenlawler]

So Many Disney films are not represented by a single character in the parks. Which movie needs some fur?

I eliminated some films based on the fact that characters from films like Robin Hood, who at least have occasional visits from some of their characters.

I think the Horned King from the Black Cauldron would be really cool for MNSSHP.

Definitely the Emperor's New Groove. I love Yzma, Kronk and Kuzco.

I had seen pics of Kronk from a year or two ago, but it was a very limited time he was there from what I read here. Too bad.

There was also a Kuzco Llama character out for a while. The last time I saw him was perhaps 2004 at the front of DHS back when they did an afternoon Meet N Greet with several random characters. This was also the only time I saw Phil.
I have never seen an Yzma character although I have been told there is one. You are right about Kronk. He made some apperences about the time the new movie and animated series came out but he stopped appearing about three years ago. He did make a rare appearence at the Teardrop after that now and then but it has since stopped.

Miss Bianca and Bernard are around however appear only on special occassions. Treasure Planet had Jim & Ben appearing in Tomorrowland for quite an extended amount of time a few years back. Out of all the movies listed I would love to see someone from Lady & the Tramp. Tony used to do appearances at his restaurant in Town Square but it would be nice to see someone of the fur variety.

Another group of character I would like to see more of would be Dumbo (only out on rare appearances) and Timothy Mouse......maybe when the new Dumbo area opens with the FL expansion.

Lady and the Tramp is such a classic that there must be some way to get those characters to do appearences. If they can get Marie, Pluto and Dug to work in the parks, you'd think they could get Lady and Tramp as well.

The ones I really want to see are the Enchanted characters. Giselle and Edward are such over-the-top anf fun characters that I think they'd be a blast to meet.

I disagree with Lady and the Tramp. I know other animal characters are in-park characters, but for Lady and the Tramp, a lot of the charm exists because you can imagine those as living the secret life of your household pets, and if you represent them as in-park characters, that charm is lost.

They don't lose their animal characteristics in the movie to do things like walk on two legs and sing and dance, like other animal characters do in their movies (including the Aristocats), so it would really be stretch to have Lady and Tramp doing meet and greets standing on their hind legs-- it's not in keeping with their film representation at all, therefore, they're not possible characters in parks.

I have heard rumors of Bianca and Bernard for a long time. As far as I know they have not been around since the mid 90's. They are at some of the Parks overseas. About three years ago someone put false rumors on sites like this about them appearing at the teardrop. The rumor spread but was not true.
Tony still appears at his restaraunt but it is only for grand gatherings.
I should have put Dumbo on the list. I think the last time he was around was for a special employee day years and years ago. But then again I can only tell you what information I have collected.

I would LOVE to meet Basil and Rattigan from The Great Mouse Detective! On most days I consider this my favorite Disney movie.

[plutoboy]

Very true that it has been a while since Bernard & Miss Bianca have shown up. I was "friends" with the character from the mid-90s to mid 2000s and I did a meet'n'greet with them in 1999 or 2000.....can't remember. Too bad as they were really cute. As I kid I can remember Orville being out and about....huge costume from what I remember!! When I went to TDL a few years ago they made regular appearances there....seems the rarer characters are always more of a staple overseas.

Another movie I just thought of and I can remember them being a part of the MSEP are Todd and Copper from Fox & the Hound.....that was a long time ago though.

I guess that's probably why characters from "Bambi", aside from the rare Thumper, are absent as well.

I'm always surprised theyhave not had Bernard and Bianca from The Rescuers
