Big Bad Wolf?

[sbkline]

I'm sure I remember seeing the Big Bad Wolf at the Magic Kingdom when we went in 1987, but I guess I never knew he was a Disney Character at one time. I've never seen him in any subsequent trips there, so did Disney sell the rights to him to someone else, or was it just a different wolf that I was seeing that day?

I've seen him recently

 

[GrowingUpDisney]

He was at MK during the MNSSHP last October (2005)

 

[sbkline]

Okay, I guess that answers my question. He's evidentally just not been out and about on the times I've visited...at least not in the area of the park that I was in at any given time. I just thought they had sold the rights to someone else since 1987...especially since Busch Gardens in Virginia has a Big Bad Wolf ride. I thought maybe they had the rights to that character now.

I don't think the rights to the big bad wolf belong to anyone. The Three Little Pigs is a classic childrens story created back in the 1800s just like many other classic stories Disney brought to the mainstream.

I'm pretty sure the Three Little Pigs as well as the Big Bad wolf are open game as far as using them as a theme for an attraction. However Disney I'm sure owns the rights on the animated versions they created back in the 1930's, and thus people have to tread lightly when using versions of them for attractions.

I cant say I have seen the big bad wolf out and about except for the parade. I also cant say I have ever really searched for him either but we are always looking for charaters my daughter has not met, and the big bad wolf we have not seen.

I am about 95% sure that he is in the SpectroMagic night parade every night....i don't believe he does meet n greets unless its MNSSHP

I see Worthington Foulfellow from Pinocchio every year, can't say that I've seen the Big Bad Wolf.

If he's a wolf character, he may very well be who I am thinking of. In summer of 1987, I was 11, going on 12, so all I remember is seeing a wolf character walking around. I just assummed it was the Big Bad Wolf, but it very well could have been another wolf character from the Disney movies.

He is there

When my daughter was about 3 we were watching the "elections" that took place in the morning in front of town hall - back in 1994.

Big Bad Wolf came up behind her and scared the crap out of her. If that wasn't bad enough he kept popping up behind me or my ex, regardless of the fact that she was crying hysterically. He shook his own hands over his head -like he was congratulating himself on terrifying a toddler. Only time I've ever gotten mad at a character. :fork:

To this day she HATES the Bid Bad Wolf (and she will 15 next week). We see him every year in Spectro.

I beg y'alls forgiveness...BBW is in Disney. I have a pic of him in Spectro and Foulfellow in Epcot

Big Bad Wold and the Three Little Pigs are all in the ending scene of SpectroMagic at the Magic Kingdom. Big Bad Wolf usually walk s along side the float while the 3 Pigs are up on the front. There wa talk in 2004 of all 4 of them being brought out for more greetings but I'm not sure what happened there.:veryconfu

BBW used to do Meet 'n' Greets when the Fantasyland Character Festival was around but since that has gone the way of Pooh's Playful Spot... he typically only appears at the Christmas Party and Halloween Party.

 

[bigbadwolf]

I've seen him in front of the castle.. Though that was last year in July. :veryconfu

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

perhaps hes road kill?

 

[LudwigVonDrake]

I've seen him in Fantasyland and over by the front of the Castle signing Autographs and posing for photos :king:

 

[alya922]

Isn't he in the Spectromagic parade everynight? I'm pretty sure that he is. Well, he was in it in February anyway.

 

[THECARISMINE]

He's always at MK I guess you just miss thats all =]

 

[Disney MDACK]

I have seen him in 03,04,05 at the mnsshp.

 

[GoofMasterHookX]

BBW only goes out for meet and greets during MNSSHP. He used to appear outside of the castle but now that doesn't happen anymore. He is in spectro every night, barring other circumstances. And the difference between BBW and Foulfellow is quite large, most noticably the giant tongue thats hangs out of BBW's mouth.

When I was 12 (30 years ago), the Big Bad Wolf came out of nowhere, picked me :goodnevil up and carried me over his shoulder around the park for a while in Disneyland. Since then, I've only been back twice....and haven't seen him. I was wondering the same thing. I really hope to see him in THE WORLD when we go in a couple of weeks...perhaps he'd mess around with my 5 yr old the way he did weith me waaaay back then?! He is the only character that made such a huge impression on me that I can actually remember....after all, we were only there for 1/2 a day!
I hope we both see him again!:wave:
