Just a tid-bit of info for you...
Back in 1984 during my family's visit to DL, we encountered the Pinocchio bad
guy (fox??) on the right. He played around with me (I was *cough cough* 5 at the time). This was my first encounter with a character. I remember it was on Main Street as soon as we walked unter the train station. Anyways, I had on my cute velcro Roos (taking it WAAAAAAYYYY back

and kicking it old school style), and this CHARACTER (the one I spoke of earlier) approaches me and decides to STEAL my shoe! Off he went, "running" down the street. Well of course the fashionista I was/am began balling

my eyes out at the loss of my beloved shoe. My parents thought this was so cute and took a few pictures. It's funny to look back at thoose pics now. Of course he came back and handed my shoe back to me, but that was it...traumatized for life by him. So yeah...needless to say I don't like thoses Pinocchio baddies!
*I did take a picture with him last year at WDW. I thought it was good therapy to face my fear. He didn't steal my shoe, and I walked away a champion!
