He was doing funny pics and videos before he was a CM. I don't think he's out to make himself "a star" - I really think he just likes making people happy. I can see Disney wanting to control everything but this did bring them to a of awesome PR.

Indeed. He, like I hope the majority of cast members would be, is a big fan, or so it appears.

I can't help but feel that this is the exact same problem that occured with the "Andy's coming!" incident. Why do attention-hungry people always tend to ruin these awesome things?

Can someone explain me about the "Andy's coming" incident. I'm surprised they haven't refereed to "Bonnie's Coming" after the events of Toy Story 3.

That reminds me of the what happened to Gaston after he did a push up with a girl. I remember lessening to Jim Hill's podcast on the history of the characters in the parks and he brought up that the guy who was Gaston in that video got fired after that.

Here's the link where it's brought up.

Buuuut, he's not making money. He only has 400 subs, which isn't enough to make money. If he does make money off of it, more power to him. He's earned it. But I highly doubt it will happen.

Doesn't matter. He's violating a policy where his bosses said "don't do this."

Now he's made a bigger problem by publicizing that he was to "don't do this."

No one is bigger than the show.

I was responding to the argument of "He's just doing it to make money", not "He wasn't allowed to do this" and I agree with you. Sorry for any confusion.

I just wanna know if he's gonna knock off the crap in order to keep his job. My instincts say that he is not long for this company....

Looks like his most recent ones were at character training sets - which are supposed to be surprises. The trainers probably bubbled it up and was the final straw. Those sets are to learn not to become YouTube stars in their first day

This is really kind of like the "Andy's Coming" thing. It's fine when one person does it. Now that everyone has seen it they will all want to do it themselves and character meet & greets will just get overwhelmed with people wanting to do this themselves. No one will care about this guy in a week anyways it will be over with, he got his 15 minutes it's time to move on.

Uhhhhh..... there was just a big hubbub about some of those set locations being posted online, resulting in people being disciplined. (Cant remember if they were fired)

Good that Disney is clamping down on this horrible trend from within their own entertainment division.

I could understand it if he was making funny videos for himself and his use only and not posting them anywhere. ("What happens backstage, stays backstage") Alas this seems to not be the case.

Those training sets are already a disaster they didn't need this cherry on top.
