Clarabelle and Horace??

[peppers]

Thanks so much for sharing the great pictures, Shubunk! That's great you got to meet Clarabelle & Horace...looking forward very much to seeing your scans of their autographs! Saw at your site that you got to meet Clarice, too!

Mecha, do you know how long it typically takes for them to make a decision regarding the characters after testing is done? I really hope Clarabelle & Horace will grace us with their presence again soon! Thanks for all you've been doing!

So, where are the scans of Horace and Clarabelle's autographs?

They haven't been posted on your site yet.

on my trip i noticed that in the animation building in mgm there were a lot of rare characters alongside the incredibles. we counted 10 characters in the building at the same time there was a character every 5 feet. i saw jnjusoioa from the disboards at epcot and she said that on wed she said she saw kermit doing meet and greets in the animation building! i went there everyday after that and i didnt see him there but there were MANY characters there all week long maybe its a new training area just like the teardrop in toontown!

Sorry to be off post, but when/where did you find Francis Ladybug? We were there Sun. and after asking about 1/2 dozen clueless CM's and Character Handler's about "Bugs Life characters" , and tired of being told "they are only in Animal Kingdom" "They are only at MGM" "Never heard of them" and (my favorite) " They don't appear anymore", we gave up.

Francis, as well as Flik and Princess Atta, were at the Germany pavilion.

I am happy to report that I also meant Clarabelle and Horace, what awesome characters, just happened to be at the right place at the right time for that one. It was on Thursday in the morning at MK, right in front of the Toontown sign, it was great, I think my best find, however saw more characters this trip then ever before. It was the best. A huge thank you to hugsforeeyore for all her awesome help, you are the best!!!!

Hey!!! Welcome back!!

Got your PM, thanks!!! So you DID find Clarabelle and Horace!!! Savor those character memories, as I can only dream!! It is just terrific for Disney to get them out, as they are as classic as they come! And you found JIMINY!!! Sounds like Bugs Weekend only had the rare Francais, not Tuck and Roll?? I was hoping Disney would have more than that!

And like Amberboo (Hey!! ) asked, wonder what significance of putting the Bugs Life Characters in Germany??? I never thought that movie took place in Germany! Are they all German bugs? I never been to Germany so I don't know much about their insects! Oh well!

Amberboo, that's awful that you never found them, and the CMs were no help at all!! I would have been crying on the sidewalk, knowing those characters are suppose to be somewhere and no one can help!

Hey Sue
Yes I did find them, and I believe it was just accident, what happened was I was at toontown at opening and just kind of walked around, then was just sitting for a little to see who I could see, and low and behold I heard some lady say that Clarabelle was on the Barnstormer with Goofy so I took off and saw her, and then just followed them, and they took her up to the sign and then she and Horace rotated. I couldn't believe it, they were probably my two best finds. I was so excited.
I am not sure why they had all those bugs back in Germany but oh well, at least I saw Flik and Atta, I am disappointed that I didn't find Francis and the CM's are really no help at all with the characters, it really is a shame. Every character I asked about, they told me no and then I turned around and found them, such a shame.
I am working on a longer PM to you to tell you about my trip, it really was a great character trip. I am excited. Thank you again for all your help.

Hey There,
It was so great meeting you two!! And yes I did see Kermit in the animation building on Wednesday, I couldn't believe it, when I walked in and saw him, I almost passed out as I thought they were no longer doing meet and greets so that was so great for me.

Mecha, do you know how long it typically takes for them to make a decision regarding the characters after testing is done?

I'd like to know that as well.

Disney must bring Horace and Clarabelle out for meet-and-greets again...and soon!

 

[Mecha Figment]

if she was out on thursday that means they have found somebody else to do the costume.

 

[peppers]

From what I understand, they were only out though for 2 days last week for the test, right? That is encouraging though if you feel they have found another "friend" for Clarabelle.

 

[disneyphilip]

Has anyone heard any new news regarding Horace and Clarabelle?

When are they going to start coming out regularly?

 

[disneyphilip]

Anything?

just got back after 9 days at WDW - neither one was there on any of the several days we were there. In fact, at MK there were only the basic characters - very disappointing.
