Character interations

Post by DLRFantasmic!Dan » Wed May 18, 2005 11:10 am

What have your experience with character interactions, either onstage or back stage?

Sometimes the magic of character interactions goes back to backstage. One time when I was working Fantasmic!, Chip and Dale came down the stairs and I think it was CHip that tried on a Fantasmic! jacket and had a flashlight in hand, swinging it, mocking us: "Stay to your right"!! LOL That was very memorable!!

Just yesterday, I saw Push interacting with a couple of Snow Whites!!! That was hilarious!!

Push has been in DL? Thought he was gonna stay with us @ DCA. I LOVE PUSH :D: Greetings CMs were told we could sneak (very quietly) over to TOT the other night for a midnight scarey ride. Was not the same without Push. First met Push @ TOT :)

When i'm working, I always make it a point to do something to make other cast members smile. It's just fun and it just adds a little something special to their day.

Before I got into entertainment, my best character interaction was the Queen of Hearts turning the corner backstage by the Inn Between and my friend screamed because she had always been terrified by the Queen. The Queen then lifted her dress and did a little can-can. i thought that was pretty funny, even though my friend could have lived without it :D:

Push is the trash-talking, roving trash can who speaks. Normally found at the Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland, he does get around other places as well.

When first introduced, his mechanism was just covered by a standard Tomorrowland trash can shell. The effect was so good that guests immediately started dumping trash in him, causing several painful short circuits. He now carries a mini-bin with liners to keep his works dry. Very polite, he always thanks guests for donating to his collection.

He has a brother at Animal Kingdom, Pipa, who's a walking-talking recycling bin. (There's also rumors he has a Mexican cousin named Basura, but he's not actually been seen on stage.)

He should not be confused with the stationary talking trash cans at Epcot. They're just stupid tape loops.

It was hilarious when one time, Push came on the Flight Deck on the Astro Orbitor and he tried to group for me, but couldn't, it was funny to see!! The next day Push said "Hi" to me at Astro, but I didn't notice.

I visit Push's cousin Push at Magic Kingdom, it was funny to see. I believe there was a "Francis" at EPCOT!! That was hilarious as well!!

Love Push... We encountered him on our March WDW trip. Here's a pic of Push singing "Happy Birthday" to my 8-year-old son Benjamin.
