Living Character Initiative...

[plutoismyhero]

Ok i have brought this up a couple of times but it really interests me. I was just wondering what all the different living characters on WDW property were. I know of Remy, A trashcan, a tree, and i also know bunson and beaker where there for a while but i dont know what else there is on property. Also i wanted to know if there are any up and coming characters that will be there before may of this year. Thank you

Remy, Push the Trashcan, and the bush are the only ones.

But of course we have LCI attractions out the wazzo now, so YIPPEEE!

There was supposed to be a Wall-E as part of the living character initiative but it hasn't happened. I know the idea has probably been totally scratched, but I still have my hopes. Other than that, you mentioned all the of the ones that I know of. I haven't heard of any others. But I have no doubt that there will be others.

remember there was lucky the dinosaur as well way back the animal kingdom.

Turtle Talk with Crush, Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor and Lucky the Dinosaur (no longer appearing) are also products of the LCI, to my understanding.

don't forget the Muppet Mobile Lab!

The Wall-E exists, but I guess there were problems with it. It looks amazing.

Indeed. The only time I saw him was on the Museum Tour he did. They made a stop in Miami...And was supposed to go to WDW after that. I hear he was to delicate for the parks.:shrug:

Wall*E walked the ladies of The View out while they were at the Walt Disney Studios a couple of weeks ago and he was awesome. I wish they could find a way to have him in the parks.
As for Mr. Potato Head, does this one count? The interaction with him, I noticed is very limited as while waiting in line you can hear him sing the same song over and over. And whatever happened to him being able to take out his ear? I've never seen that.
Roz from Monsters Inc: Mike and Sully to the Rescue in DCA is another LCI animatronic

Not sure if he counts.

Haha, my friends & I once yelled "TAKE OFF YOUR EAR" continuously at Mr. Potato Head. And he did it!

But his ear fell out of his hand somehow and he kind of lagged for a moment and then started going again full-force minus an ear. A few minutes went by and a guy came out with a stepstool and put the ear back in. Not good show, but it worked.

Was that when the attraction first opened? I have not seen him do it. I wonder if he does it in DCA?

It was this past summer - around August. We've tried to get him to do it everytime since, but no dice.

 

[SoccerMickey]

Does Mr. Potato Head get covered every night at a certain time or is the curtain for maintenance or staffing issues?

 

[plutoismyhero]

i cant wait to see remy...even though he dosent talk. I hope they start getting more of these characters they are awesome for the parks and i also did see a video of wall'e wish he was out in the park also

 

[WDWFREAK53]

The name of the "Bush" or "Tree" is Wes Palm.

 

[RSoxNo1]

My understanding on the Mr. Potato Head Curtain is that it's put up when he isn't working properly. This can be a normal technical glitch, or if he drops his ear or something.

Another living character is Roz in the Monster's Inc ride at Disney's California Adventure. It's on the same scope as Mr. Potato Head.

 

[CaesarBoxFan]

I don't think Roz or Mr. Potato Head count as LCI products. They work off pre-set lines that a CM pieces together to personalize rather than having the CM talk right to the guests.

 

[bigcatholicj]

do the articulated heads in characters count?? Especially if they are used for conventions or events where their dialogue can be personalized....
