Nope, Timon doesn't look much like Uncle Paul to me! :D

In case I confused anyone, he was a local kid's show host here in NC during the 1960's & 70's.

I'm still leaning towards the thought that all human characters should be face characters. They changed Jasmine and kids still know it's her, why should they feel the need to keep the ludicrous and creepy overly cartoonish heads on the others. A man wearing a Captain's hat with a red coat, hook, and mustache will still be recognizable as Captain Hook.And the Queen wouldn't have to be a larger lady, they can make padded undersuits for that. I think it worked with the Mad Hatter, so why not do it for the rest?

The face character version of Queen Of Hearts was fun to watch.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Hiro was too tan and his eyes were too squinty when he made character appearances with Baymax. Didn't look anything like the character.

I feel like some of you are being hyper critical of the face characters. Disney does their best to find people who share similarities with their characters but you have to remember that personality is the biggest factor. They could have a gorgeous Belle but if she were rude or not talkative, there'd be much more to complain about.

I think Chip and Dale should get redesigned. Despite the current ones existing since 1981, I think the costumes and heads should get a few tweaks. I also noticed that Dale is missing his puff of hair presents in his animated form. Weirdly enough Dale was given hair on his head when it is articulated.

I believe this is a sign they are currently redesigning their costumes. The articulated heads look MUCH more like the cartoons. I love the little tufts of hair they've added

I'm already in love with the new Mickey and Minnie heads. Looking forward to more characters finally get a deserved facelift. Especially Chip N Dale, what I love that Disney's been doing lately is that they are finally starting to give some of the characters a much more on model appearance (Such as Mr Smee with the correct clothing color and head design. His original hat always bugged me). I also really loved the redesigned Marie that debuted in 2013 at Paris and later that year Tokyo and later rolled out at the other parks in 2014 since her previous eyes looked a bit...strange (Due to her blue eyes being dark colored and head were to fluffy while the brand new head is now making her eyes much more visible by actually being sky blue and actually looking at the guest.

Next on the list of characters that need a new look should be the Seven Dwarfs (And maybe Dopey) because they need the correct clothing colors. They been like that since 1981.

- I really wish the Genie would get an update - he looks NOTHING like he does in the original Aladdin.
- Capt. Hook and QOH I don't think should be face characters because they are too broad, cartoony-looking to transition to face characters. I do however think they could both use updates . . . I wasn't crazy about Hook's update.
- Finally, for the love of GOD, will someone please change Tigger's nose to pink! It's something that's been bothering me for years!
