For some reason I now have:

There are noooo cats in America, and the streets are paved with cheese from American Tail in my head because of that comment Bill! :p

So would the added characters appear as usual or would they be "Mary Blair-ed" versions? And if the latter, would that make it more palatable?

If only they handed out baseball bats at the Hall of Presidents at WDW... :evil:

IF the new additions fit the look and feel, it will soften the blow. I will still be non-plussed with the addition of the characters, in any style.

Of course, if anyone complains (to City Hall, etc.) once they put in the characters, they'll just be dismissed as a stupid Disney purist nut who doesn't like anything to change and/or is opposed to progress, they'll be given a note with that stupid out of context quote about Disneyland not being a museum and/or not being complete as long as there is imagination left in the world, and then will be kindly sent off on their merry way while the City Hall CMs roll their eyes and make fun of the stupid APs.

Longest. Sentence. Ever!

Have you never read William Faulkner? The man is notorious!

That's true, I first pictured a plush Simba from one of the Main Street stores sitting in there. But if they make them look like Mary Blair it will at least help some.

It just goes to show you how may words he has to use. ;)

What is this make them look MaryBlairish fantasy?

Stich on a surfboard was apparently a coming attraction. He was not Blairified, and I don't expect the artificially inserted Disneytoons to be either. How much can a character be Blairistic and retain toddler recognizability anyways?

Based on how far the Japanese have managed to distort Stitch from the archetype and yet still have it be recognizably Stitch, I'd say quite a bit.

Not that I have any idea that they would try.
