THANK YOU! I was just about to say that. I hate autographs with a passion. I feel they ruin the moment. Sure, it's an excuse to get the kid to go up to a character, but I think it's so much more fun when people just want to meet the characters. Go up, interact with the character, have a picture taken if you'd like, enjoy the moment.joanna71985 wrote:ITA! I think everyone has been programed to just get a picture/autograph, instead of just enjoying the moment.
Whenever I see a character doing his or her set, I always think of an assembly line:
- Kid hands autograph ook
- Sign
- Pose for picture with kid
- Repeat
There is hardly ever any interaction. I'd like to think that children will remember interactions with the characters, and not mass produced process.
