I think Warner Bros might have an issue with that. :rolleyes:

[turkeyham]

The extra bunnies must be hidden in with the turkey at the petting farm. Shhh....Don't tell the turkey!:eek:

[GaTechGal]

Idiot. DISNEY has rabbit characters, why wouldn't they just use them?

[PatchOBlack]

I am going to give "Lisa" the benefit of the doubt and believe it was just temporary confusion. Now, if she wrote back with something like "Of course he is Disney! He was with Mickey Mouse in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'", well, then she would qualify for SG status. :cat1:

Several years ago, when eating at a restaurant at DLR, we noticed the manager was wearing a Bugs Bunny tie. We asked him about it, and he said it was legitimate as Bugs had been in a Disney film (Roger Rabbit).

An interesting this about that was the contract with Warner specifically stated Bugs would have at least as many words spoken as Mickey would have.

[DLRFantasmic!Dan]

Yeah, what is up with Bugs bunny in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" Can someone explain that to me?

Like Happy the Hedgehog! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il_NAXpDHZ4)

Now my other question would be, who animated Bugs for Roger Rabbit?

This reminds me of the time when Disney posted this (http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/10/where-at-disney-parks-can-you-find-10/) picture and question on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/WaltDisneyWorld/posts/481886108273), and one of the first comments was "you can find it in the movie SHRECK"

(you probably have to be signed in to actually see the comment)

He was there to help show the idea that all (or most) "Toons" lived in "Toontown", not just the Disney characters. So, you had Bugs, Daffy, Porky, and others show up. To ease company rivalry, Bugs shows up with Mickey, and Daffy does a piano duel with Donald, just to make things even.

thats going to be a real shock to his parents.
I see on youtube most every cartoon is credited to Disney.

[felinefan]

I remember seeing that piano duet between Daffy and Donald. It killed me to hear Daffy say that this is the last time he works with somebody with a speech impediment! LOL!

The ambassador of Disneyland could just as easily have been Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

Which, I believe, is something of the theme for the "Epic Mickey" video game.

Hmmm....it might be a neat idea if, say for April one year, they did a temporary make-over of Disneyland and/or the Magic Kingdom in line with the game, and replaced Mickey Mouse with Oswald and such. Of course, that would probably be completely impractical to do...

Not to mention the outcry of angry families expecting to see Mickey Mouse and is instead greeted with unfamiliar Oswald.

Well, naturally, I would expect that if they did something like that, they would advertise it quite a bit, so folks would know about it. I was thinking it would be done in April, as sort of an April's Fools joke.

Another idea: Have Mickey welcoming the long-lost Oswald into the family, as it were. That way, you would have both Mickey and Oswald and no-one is unhappy!

These are the same people that think the Back to the Future ride is in DHS.
Sorry, it's about 10 miles east at a different park and 10 years in the past.
Is there a bus to take us there?

Sure there is a bus, but you have to catch it as it hits speeds of 88mph

They also require you bring your own plutonium.

Yesterday I was watching the parade. A SG parent-dad says: Look there's Daffy Duck on top of the drum.

Oh really? I had no idea Daffy was a Disney character.:eek:

[knitster]

When we were at WDW a few weeks ago, my mom was sorting through my daughters pins with her and when they ran across her Flower (from Bambi) pin, my mom said, "Oh! Pepe le Pew! I love him!" Needless to say, she felt more than a little stupid when I pointed out that Pepe le Pew is neither a Disney character nor is he a girl.

Um...

Flower is a male skunk as well.

And secure enough in his manliness to be called "Flower"

[knitster]

Well, that just goes to show you how long it's been since I've watched Bambi...:o:

[PatchOBlack]

Oh great, after reading that, I had the following pop into my head:

"Coming soon from Disney, the new adventures of one of Bambi's friends:

He may seem shy...

But push him too far and you'll discover the true meaning of:

Flower Power! A Direct-To-Video action/adventure!

Man better beware when they go in the forest this summer...."

*snicker* Yes, the whole "Direct-To-Video" sequels thing did get out of hand. I did enjoy some of the animated series based on the more recent movies, such as Aladdin or Tarzan, though.
