Why didn't they use Hamm for "Year of the Pig" at "Pixar" Pier?

Just seems like a huge miss as it is right there by Pixar Pier and he is more part of the recent Disney/Pixar universe and it would also promote Toy Story 4 coming up. Anybody else thought about this? Or am I missing something

What did they use?

What did they use?

Three little pigs.

Or even Piglet?

Funny, I hadn't even thought about Hamm, but he would make sense too. My first thought was that guests that like rare characters will be happy because the 3 Little Pigs aren't very common (they do also tie into DCA because of the Fiddler, Fifer, and Practical Pig Cafe, aka Starbucks) .

Oh...I LOVE the 3 Little Pigs! So originally Walt! I understand that there are many deserving pigs out there, but gotta love me some 3 Littles!

Just for Hamm lovers!

After some research.... apparently Hamm is used in Shanghai Disney to represent the Year of the Pig (Boar), so I guess he gets his due given there.
