As mentioned in my trip report - after days of autograph collecting, we somehow LOST our book! (The pink princess type).

We were gutted of course, but immediately bought another and got as many sigs as we could.

Now, while we'll never replace the more personalised signatures etc (and our first Chip and Dale were two different people, and one wrote "To my princess" etc rather than the basic sig we got afterward), I'm determined that the book we have should have ALL the characters we actually met in it. So I'm going 'fake' some (shock, horror, I know).

My first plan was to buy a book off ebay and see what was in there I could copy, but there was only one, and someone outbid me! (If you won that Monday, message me, please! :D)

My other option then being to see if any kind souls here have the sigs we need and will scan them in for me! I'll then do some trickery and transfer them into our book.

Annoyingly, we had: Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Woody, Jessie, Snow White, Chip, Dale. Smee, Friar Tuck, Pluto, Gepetto, Remy, Emile, Mulan, Mushu, Smee, Tiana

We managed to Then get: Tigger, Chip, Dale, Minnie, Launchpad McQuack, Goofy, Pluto, Minnie, Queen from Snow White, Mickey, Aladdin, Mary Poppins, Bert

Meaning These are the ones we lost: Jessie, Snow White, Friar Tuck, Gepetto, Remy, Emile, Mulan, Mushu, Tiana, Woody

I'm happy of course to get scans of the ones we have for anyone else in the same situation!

--------

UPDATE 1: elstoleno was first in with quality scans of Gepetto, Emile and Remy! Thanks. Updated wants list below...

I need: Snow White, Friar Tuck, Mulan, Mushu

Note: As per the other posts in the thread, I'm not averse to getting Sigs of characters we never had in the first place for some kind of "Mickey sent this book" - though I would keep that separate to This original project. I could maybe compile a whole database of quality scans for any fellow Book-Losers to take advantage, so by all means, if anyone has characters Not listed anywhere above, Scan em, stick em online (best size/quality you can) and let's see where we get to!

--------

UPDATE 2: Everyone is being really helpful with this, so thanks!

Snow White and Friar Tuck have been supplied, but I've left them in the Post above, as I know they aren't the same as the ones we had - so thought I'd keep on gathering!

UPDATE 3:

You can see the progress of the supplied files here: http://s1109.photobucket.com/albums/h425/JakaruJP/DLP Sigs/
 
Aw that's a shame, I presume you checked with City Hall just in case some honest person handed it in?

I can try and help, I'm sure we must have all of them by now, although some are personalised.

Although if you google the autographs you can find quite a lot that way.

I can't put my hand on ours at the moment but will try and have a look over the weekend for you, hope you get sorted.
 
Yeah, sorry, forgot the details were in the trip report.

City Hall didn't have it - but gave us some free Pink Sequin Minnie ears to cheer Amy up!

Google doesn't seem to be offering up what I'm looking for - but then, I knew this was going to be a Pot Luck kinda thing. Figuring that people on this forum, travelling around the same time, are likely to get similar autographs from similar characters, so might be my best bet!

Oddly, I would actually Recognise the ones I'm after, while they are all trained to write in the same way of course, the googled Snow White is definitely not what we got...!
 

what ones are you looking for am I trying to find a website that has pictures with autographs for you to copy.

Here you go when you click on a character in the list there are some autographs!
Are you filling in the autograph book you already have?
Have you thought about filling it in with a few different ones and may be sending Amy a letter saying the people at city hall told mickey mouse she lost it so he asked some of his friends to help replace her lost book?
 
Tinks: Oooh, good idea! I did actually consider writing to Disney at one point and seeing if books can be 'arranged'!

Thanks for the link - that could help, but I really need Decent size/resoution scans of handwritten ones if I'm going to be able to keep the faked ones looking 'real' and handwritten.

The ones I'm after are the ones in Bold in the original post.

Elstoreno: those litte sigs to the right of your photos actually look pretty close to what I need - just need bigger versions if you have them?
 
you could always print them go over it with a big black pen and then trace them! x
 
Basically, yes. :) Was originally thinking print them to actual size, and use the Ballpoint pen we used for the others with Carbon paper. With a bit of practice, could get ones that look 'real' straight into the book, pressure variation an all...

Alternatively - scan all of them, including the ones we already Have, convert all signatures to matching images (i.e. relay ones Not on pink paper onto some, to make em all match), and get a Photo book made with em. (Which I could actually turn into the "New Book sent by Mickey" thing... hmmm...)

Getting decent quality scans of autographed book pages is the first step though... and if it turns out to be impossible - then I go to the more 'digitised' looking ones available on that link, get a matching set of those, and go from there. Long road ahead!
 
i would love it if some one did something like that for me even at my age lol i would probably cry i cant wait till Elsie is older so i can do things for her x

I'm looking for the scan files & autograph book right now, i'll post them up here if I can find them :]
 
That is exactly, 100%, what I was looking for, thanks!

3 down - 7 to go - anyone else!?!? :D

(I'll keep the original post updated with what's found.)
 
I think we have Friar Tuck in one of our books, will see if I can find it before the kids go to bed x
 
I know we met Woody, Jessie, Friar Tuck, Snow White & Tiana so will see if I can figure out how to scan them for you.

I have been meaning to do this for myself to put into a photo book alongside the photos we got, but you know how time slips away....! :rolleyes1
 
Going well folks!

Mulan and Mushu are the only ones completely missing left!

However - Snow White & Friar Tuck sigs supplied I can tell aren't the same ones we had, so I'm leaving them up for a while too - anyone got any other variations?

(If this seems odd, our Friar Tuck just signed F Tuck, and didn't join his T up badly, so it read, well.... badly. It was a memorable comedy moment of the holiday, so I'm keen to get a similar Sig!)
 
It just dawned on me that my princess autograhs are in a new book, that's why I couldn't find my Mulan autograph. :headache: Will scan it tonight.

I do also have a "Frere Tuck" signature, maybe you can tweak that one.

I may also have a slightly different Snow White. How did yours look different?

I'm afraid I have to pass on Mushu. He took my drawing, but gave it back unsigned. Same thing for my friend's autograph book.
