Gaston at Epcot

[TestTrack Dummy]

Gaston has been spotted meeting guest at the World Showcase. I didn't expect to seen him out this early.

The crowd seemed to like him but he needs to be a little more larger than life. More grandiose and obnoxious.

Looks like a wardrobe change over the previous costume. Or maybe just missing his cape? It just seems different.

I agree, Gaston is a flamboyant character. He looks good, but he needs more practice. He sounds polite but distant? And I felt sorry for him, because the girls wanted to meet "just" with Belle, and he has to go "look for the beast."

 

[monkeysammich]

Not sure he's nailed the personality yet... maybe thats why they are trying it out so early?

 

[draybook]

He(not the same CM) was there in March and the guy we saw was pretty funny as Gaston.

 

[invader]

Good... but seems awkward.

 

[Annielkd]

I've never seen him there before... how long has he been there? Is this something they are "bringing back" or doing because of the new resteraunt in Magic Kingdom?

 

[hollywoodj]

He's training... so obviously this was his first time out. I'm sure his character will get better as he does it more.

I thought he was hilarious! But, yes, a bit understated. That character has a lot of potential.

i THOUGHT he was very good its to bad they couldnt find some one with real muscles though ! Those fake ones sure look corny

 

[TestTrack Dummy]

he's pretty good for his first time. he'll have plenty of time to rehearse until fantasyland opens. i have to agree with a previous post that those muscles look pretty bad.

We're working on it I wk at Magic Kingdom entertainment in development! Expect some really cool living characters coming out of this expansion as well.

Sounds great, can't wait to see more. This guy, and I assume others like him will only get better with time and practice. Should be fun!

Oh, I hope he'll be at the Disney Villains Hollywood Bash after the Tower of Terror 10Miler. I'll run extra fast if I can meet Gaston!

I agree.

 

[Disneyboy17]

I agree.

Yes it was just a test

 

[CaptainessKylie]

This cm is usually friends with some more..ahem charming princes....i do believe so it's great to see him broadening his range of friends!!! You may have spotted him with his friend john smith in the past...but Gaston definitely has a massive personality for someone used to being charming about his princesses! Can't wait to see him in person and watch him get better and better!!!! yay for more characters!!!!

 

[Next Big Thing]

Gaston definitely has a lot of potential to be a great character for M&G's. I can see him being the type of crowd pleaser that Flynn Rider is when he does/did M&G's.

Hopefully Gaston will be meeting in August too.
