Title: Bolt characters?
Post by: Anthony on January 17, 2009, 11:51:19 PM
Does anyone know -- will the characters of Bolt be appearing at WDS?

They were at the official French premiere in Disney Village today:

Not a bad job of modelling a dog or cat as a two-legged walk-around, either.

They do look good don't they. I'd love to see them in the Studios soon :) I've seen pictures of them in the States, and I must say that they should bring Rhino (the Hamster) along with them as well, from the looks of the trailers he steals the show :P

Pretty good. But I'd love to see a guy dressed up inside a hamster suit rolling aroung the park inside a giant plastic ball. Now that would be priceless and worth the entry fee alone  :D

They could always have Rhino out on his own... a life-sized remote-controlled hamster in a ball is doable, right?

It was good timing for Lasseter to be at the resort with all this Toy Story Playland talk...

They could, but NO. I wanna see some poor sod, getting paid minimum wage to dress up as a giant hamster, and run until he collaspes from exhaustion in a lake of his own sweat   :twisted:  :P

Unfortunately, as much as I'd love to see that PD ( :roll: :wink:  ) he doesn't have his ball. Here's the best pic I could find, of Rhino, at the American Premier of the film:

If it got me away from having to do this piece of English coursework, i'd do it for free :P  :lol:

Anyway the characters don't look bad, can't see why they won't be in WDS, they're in Paris (for the Village premiere) so why can't they be in WDS? :D

Yeah, I can't see why they won't be. DLRP were a bit slow with non-Pixar characters for a while (Meet the Robinsons appeared months late and only for a few weeks, Prince Caspian appeared just for one day), but after the success of Remy and Emile I wouldn't be surprised if the fluffy Bolt and Mittens are out already...

And obviously not one to pass up a free trip to Paris, Mark Walton was there, despite not voicing the French version!

I heard they came over from California especially for this event and will not do sets in the Walt Disney Studios park. The reason is rumoured to be that a white Bolt in a muddy France doesn't work. If the film is a gigantic succes they will however think about keeping them at DLRP for a while.

whatever they decide, the can not go without Rhino... he's at least as 'lead character' as Mittens & Bolt in the movie! .... then again... I did love the pigeons aswell  :lol:
