New characters and character redesigns

Characters

All the pictures are really cool. But why are the changing the costumes? I like the new Genie and Jimminy, but was there something wrong with the old style? I know that Brer Fox has been out of the parks for awhile now. I asked a friend of mine who works as a character and he stated that when he dressed as Brer Fox he had alot of trouble with kids pulling his tail and in some cases it came right off!! He thought that they might be redesigning it, but it's been about 2 years now. I know that bringing some of the classic characters back isn't definite but I think it would be cool. I have pictures (from the 80's) of me with one of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. And slightly older pictures (70's) of my sister with Gus Gus. It would be cool to see them again in the parks, just for memory sake!!!

Simba

I think that Simba from the LK show should be redone. His eyes and his colourings are way off from the Simba that we see in the LK movies. He still looks great though!

So is King Louie's. And he doesn't know how to write!

Yeah I have his autograph along with Sulley, Mike, and Kuzco and they don't write either.

From what I understand and see, they mostly had different characters appear at each park's ceremony. Therefore, the WDW ceremony mostly had characters that did not appear at the DL ceremony. For example, Mickey, Goofy, Donald and Daisy appeared at the DL ceremony while Minnie and Pluto appeared at the WDW ceremony.
