Figment is the character who is part of the "Imagination" ride at Epcot.

He is a small purple dragon who is a "figment of imagination". In the original ride he had a kind of mentor, a professorial character called "The Dreamfinder" who isn't seen anymore.

I personally liked that original version of the ride even though it moved slowly. The current version (with Eric Idle) is , to me, just OK.

It might be possible to find a video on YouTube. Look under WDW/Journey into Imagination.

In the words of the Dreamfinder himself:

"Two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of a steer, but a loveable fellow! From head to tail, he's royal purple pigment, and there, voilà! You've got a Figment!"

He's also uber cute!

I had a full size figment puppet which I bought when I was about 10 - still going strong 18 years later

He is a little purple dragon from the ride 'Journey into Imagination with Figment' (i.e. a 'figment' of your imagination) at Epcot.

when they opened the Journey into Imagination ride they left Figment out. People complained and they put him back in.

I am now singing the song in my head...it'll be there for the rest of the day now

yes us as well. I put it done to the smelly bit of the ride.
We just use it as a ride to rest our feet in the cool. Quite like the bit at the end of the ride where you can send postcards to friends/family morphed as animals etc..

Check out popsong1's videos on YouTube. He has videos of all the rides and attractions at WDW and they are of really good quality.

Figment? My brother-in-law's favorite character at Walt Disney World.
