He's being retrofitted into that one sketchy guy in Times Square who just so happens to have a 'gen-yoo-wine' Rolex for $100. Heard it from Chapek himself

Paperboy in SSE
- Thread starter ThinkTink03
- Start date
I recall many versions of CoP but with SSE I still disagree, we could not only see the boy's face, but it gave impact with seeing the headline as he barked across the street. So again, in my opinion the way he was up until this change had more.impact to the theme.

It's all a matter of personal opinion. It is just a minor blip in time while looking at a huge amount of detailed show sets that compose SSE. I understand that it bothers some people, but I am not one of them. It was cool either way. I will admit that until they moved him I never really gave a thought as to wondering who he was selling the papers too. After they did it all made sense to me. Believe it or not, even the "old men" of Disney were capable of missing a crucial detail and, in my mind, whatever reason they had in moving it, to me made more sense then the way he was, visual or not. Like I said, if you immerse yourself in the ride, you are invisible to the characters in the scenes along with our vehicle. Just made more sense to me when he was moved. Maybe, for me, a happy accident, but you are entitled to feel whatever way you want too about it. I am just trying to make sense of the move. Accept it or not... that is your choice. It's only a ride in a theme park.

LOL that is hilarious. I actually bought one of those watches as a joke (talked him down to $15.00). Wore it to work showing it off.

I agree with you, my dad was in audio animatronics in Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom. They would never have allowed him to remain disfigured without fixing him. Him being turned around yelling at the street does make a whole lot more sense
Maybe it was a cold spring.Something else thar bothers me.
He’s saying that the Civil War is now over.
The war ended on May 26, 1865.
Springtime.
But he’s clearly bundled up for the winter.

Maybe he is wearing every scrap of clothing he owns because he is functionally homeless? I've seen people do this in hot weather as well or cold and this is NYC maybe? It can be very cold in May there

Beautiful, simply beautiful. I thought I was the only one around here but yet there is another who appreciates Pink Floyd.

I totally understand what you are saying but it is not unreasonable for it to be a cold day in May. Up in the Northeast it was only a few years ago where Memorial Day Weekend temperatures were in the 30s!

Yes, but the Imagineers are not going to design clothing for an animatronic based upon "a cold day in May". And, of course, I do not think the animatronic has any artificial intelligence that would allow it to dress itself based upon the weather conditions. One day, perhaps.I totally understand what you are saying but it is not unreasonable for it to be a cold day in May.
