Managed to find some concept art of Disney's first attempt at an Aristocats TV series called "The Aristocats: The Animated Series" which dates back to 2003.
The series was planned to air on Toon Disney (now Disney XD) sometime in the mid 2000s and was Disney's first attempt at modernizing...
Yeah, Disney gave a lot of buildup and fanfare to Whimsy's arrival despite only appearing during the parade's finale (which is very short). Now if there were more walkaround original characters scattered across the parade then I wouldn't mind it. Spectromagic had a group of Spectromen who played...
The only thing missing is smaller floats between certain sections and original characters that interacted with guests. Sure Whimsy is an original character for the parade but he doesn't cut it, the Spectromen while creepy were one of the more memorable parades of Spectromagic.

Ah well... gotta admire Disney's determination on doing newer projects focused on The Aristocats. I always found Disney's relationship with the film to be very interesting compared to other Post-Walt era...
Yeah, Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams really is the last of its kind when it comes to a true anniversary parades at the domestic parks. Currently, Tokyo Disneyland (and Paris to a smaller degree) are the only Disney Parks that still commits to making an actual anniversary parade. Not just an...
Why do I have a feeling this comment might age terribly if this ends up successful?
But seriously, we're only three years away from its release. A bit early too call this a flop. So early that Disney didn't even create a teaser and currently in the pre-production phase.
Yeah, my comment regarding the Lion King didn't intend to come off as bashing female Disney fans. I was talking about why young boys genuinely loved The Lion King.
During my childhood, I personally knew a few young male Disney fans that felt embarrassed to admit they loved Disney movies...
I was referring to the popularity of Timon and Pumba were during the film's popularity in the 1990s. Besides Simba and Nala (and Zazu) being featured in tons of merchandise, you couldn't escape seeing anything featuring the comedic duo. Disney was fast enough to cash in on the duo's popularity...
The only Disney IP (Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar doesn't count) that actually lets a franchise for boys to be aimed at boys is The Lion King. Before the live-action remake, The Lion King was one of the few Disney Animated Films during the Renaissance era that young boys weren't ashamed to admit...
Boy was the Warner Bros Studio Store expansive. While much pricey compared to the Disney Store, I loved how they actually themed their own stores to specific locations. Such as the New York location having Bugs Bunny as the statue of liberty.
Before Disney brought Star Wars and Marvel, they actually attempted making merchandise aimed at the boy demographic called "Disney Heroes" initially known as "Disney Adventurers".
For those who don't know about Disney Heroes. Right after Disney created the "Disney Princess" franchise in the...
