Questionable Critters (aka "Now There's an Interesting Character!")

Post by ziggyfmt » Thu Feb 01, 2007 4:27 pm

How many people have ever seen some very interesting actions performed by character performers? I know I have seen a few, and have heard of others as well. Let me start off so everyone knows what I mean.

Donald Gets Down
Working Fantasmic! at the end of a show, I was down in the front corner in the Beast section, preparing to clean the theatre. I looked over on the riverboat while Mickey was setting off the fireworks and I noticed I could see some of the characters still. I then realized that Donald was dancing like a wild duck (sorry for the pun...had to do it), somewhat immitating Mickey. Another time, I was in the same place and saw Donald again. This time waving frantically to get my attention and celbrating when I waved back!

Next Time:
When Tiggers Attack!
Provocative Pooh
Minnie's Goofy!
Tigger's Gotta Tinkle

Those photos are awesome! That is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about...ANY questionable acts that you catch a character in.
Here's my next story:

When Tiggers Attack!
I was walking into the Studios toward Icon area (the giant hat) where all the characters come out. To the left by the Snow White topiary I saw Tigger was out and Chicken Little and Abbey Mallard were coming out to replace him. Suddenly you see Tigger freak out and start going after Abbey Mallard. The character attendant was holding him back until he calmed down and started walking away. The attendant let his guard down, and suddenly, the innevitable happened: Tigger snapped around, ran towards Abbey and LEPT into the air as Abbey ducks to the ground and Chicken Little looks on helplessly. I am going to attempt to post this picture here, but if it doesn't work, here's the link:

Well, if Disney was smart they'd keep the Tiggers away from the poultry.

I was in Toontown one night when it was so slow that the characters came out of the Hall of Fame to look for guests. Those few there were delighted, but soon moved on.

It got so quiet that the wildlife started to come out the clean up dropped food. :pluto: took one look at a rabbit and tried to give chase. :minnie: took great exception to this and scolded him. I guess you had to be there, but it had all of us in :stitch: :stitch: :stitch: !

When I was a kid at WDW, I saw Goofy pushing Pluto around in a shopping cart. He was running around like wild having fun. I wanted to go up and get an autograph/picture taken, but my mother wisely told me that they were playing and not to bother them (code words for "please don't go up to the two maniacs with the shopping cart right now. You might get run over.")
