By the time that poll ends, plan to set up another listing all our suggestions to see which characters in the attraction collectors are most interested in seeing done.<br /><br />Will follow those polls with a Rocky poll, another character I would like to see done. BTW, was also great re-reading the comments when this entry was first made.DC Pop Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336354661732301642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-21368642218579623992009-06-28T10:53:50.711-04:002009-06-28T10:53:50.711-04:00Hey Don

In an article by <B>Jeff Otto</B> who spoke with <B>Doug Engalla</B>, a researcher in the <B>Animation Research Library</B>, <B>Walt Disney</B> himself removed Rocky from the film. “It just wasn’t working in the context of the story,” Engalla told Mr. Otto. “I also heard a rumor that Walt thought Frank Fontaine’s voice was a bit irritating…” (along the lines of what Michelle read). So it still remains a <I>mystery</I>, why Rocky was removed.<BR/><BR/>Michelle, I too would like to see <I>Jungle Book</I> incorporated more into <B>Disney's Animal Kingdom</B> (DKA).<BR/><BR/>Hey!

According to wikipedia, there are 5 species of rhino, 2 native to Africa and 3 native to southern Asia.<BR/>In watching the DVD, I think they said that Rocky might have been pulled because Walt thought the voice of Rocky wasn't funny after a while. <BR/>Was great to watch the movie over the weekend. I had not seen this film since I was a child. Love to see them bring more elements of JB into the Animal Kingdom. <BR/>As far as a Rocky WDCC piece, it could be cute and humorous, but I'd prefer Roz or Heimlich first if we're going for bloated oversized Disney characters.Babettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604342324444626516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-36153839259787179402007-10-15T17:11:00.000-04:002007-10-15T17:11:00.000-04:00Don,Rocky's a cute character but my guess he was d...Don,<BR/><BR/>Rocky's a cute character but my guess he was dropped for two reasons. First is the size of the cast, it was getting pretty large. The second is that while Walt and the rest weren't sticklers for realism, most if not all of the other characters are more closely related to the Indian sub-continent while a rhino is definitely African.<BR/><BR/>BobUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288542052419180926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-7223180095803742172007-10-15T16:44:00.000-04:002007-10-15T16:44:00.000-04:00I think a "lost moments" series would be a great i...I think a "lost moments" series would be a great idea! There is such a wealth of ideas and characters in the Disney files, and many of us would love to have that "unique" collection. That's what drew me (no pun intended) to WDCC in the first place.Timonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003549115614875378noreply@blogger.com
