I wonder if he smells of strawberries?

[lil-shawn]

Awww he is cute, i think i could snuggle him all the time  :lol:

i think he will not come to DLP and TSPL, what a missed opportunity...
it´s the same like with NGF, good idea bad execution, more pixar characters
are needed to kick off a true NGF!

Um, I'm not quite sure I understand what Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear is all about. What's clever about him? Is he a parody of something?

One thing is clear. Pixar have succeeded in creating their gayest character ever :-)

[15MagicalYears]

Gay being bright and pleasant; promoting a feeling of cheer?

He looks good.
On the pixar block party bash have they got rid of bo peep completly or is she on a different part of the parade?

Thanks for posting my videos!

The meet-and-greet version of Lotso does not smell like strawberries but his plush toy version sold around the parks does.  He replaced Bo Peep in Block Party Bash.

Nope. Gay as in very very camp :-)

I've never seen this character before, for some reason he doesn't look disney to me but maybe I would have thought that of Handy Manny and Little Einsteins if my little nephew didn't watch them on playhouse Disney.

I hope you wouldn't mind me using them.

Has anyone seen the amazing Viral Marketing by Disney for Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear?
And i know these look so real but thats the beauty of them! They were posted on fake accounts by TDA (Team Disney Anaheim) conveniently just before the TS 3 film coming out soon!  :thumbs: [youtube:lppe70w7]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6dZtNYGlLM[/youtube:lppe70w7]

More so than Goofy?!

Lotso looks more bright and pleasant. He'd fit right into a certain New Generation festival... or is he too new?

[dlrpkris]

There's no excuse for not having him included in the New Gen Festival

Loving those virals though. Great work. TV programme Doctor Who has similar fake websites etc made up as a response to the show to help provide a back-story. Great idea

Nobody would have any idea who he was! Disney films don't have as much press and hype around them here as they do over in the States!

Imho that would be just the more reason to include him (or 1 of the other new chars)!
That would give a nice buzz and a little "mysterie" to the whole theme
