Avatar itself is a stretch, most have simply accepted it's here and it's staying.

Oswald was much more remembered in Japan, even being at Universal Studios Japan.

Exactly, it doesn't. I would be all for moving Splash Mountain further down the ROA to put it in a full on Critter Country, but he seems a little extreme even for me.

That must of felt very awkward even with them being the owners at the time. From what I've seen and heard, Universal Studios Japan has tried to rip off and capitalize off of Disney more than any of their other parks. They even have an electrical parade with fairytale character floats. Are there any pictures of Oswald meeting there? I've tried looking it up and all I could find was some merchandise that they sold.

His insertion is very out of place indeed. Was there a walk around character too?He looks so out of place with the new Woody (Ren & Stimpy style) Designs...

Yeah, he's arguing so hard for the integrity of a design philosophy that was never consistently implemented in the first place.

Why is it out of place? Disney made Oswald cartoons for barely a year, while Universal made them for fifteen.
Glad to see you spend so much time thinking about me.

I'm reffering to the New designs that they have been using lately since 2004 for the Walter Lantz characters..It has too much of a John K style of artwork.
Oswald's design got modified from Black to Blue in 2004 as well and didn't change as much which is fine...It just looked weird with the new designs and Oswald not changing too much...
However in the comic world his design....Well......
Glad to see him still around in the newer comics tho....

Because the design that they used was the one that Walt and Ub Iwerks used when they created him. It's important to note that as @Cmdr_Crimson has shown, Universal made him unreconzable over the many years that they used him, so yes, it is very awkward to use the Walt era design that looks very much like an original Mickey Mouse design.

Oswald's face definitively was changed and rounded, to make him similar to the old Mickey.I'm reffering to the New designs that they have been using lately since 2004 for the Walter Lantz characters..It has too much of a John K style of artwork.

The irony is.. these people do not understand these undertones will always exist in history.
Modifying a ride will not magically make racism or past discrimination disappear.

I think Splash is fine; most of the stuff that is objectionable by modern standards (like the Tar Baby, which over the years came to be a racial slur) was changed or removed. It's not like there's a Confederate Flag or a tribute to Nathan Bedford Forrest in the ride anywhere.
