Celestial Park - General Discussion Thread

[GAcoaster]

I see comparisons of Celestial Park characters like Captain Cacao to Figment. But since Figment got his launch in an attraction (unlike the Celestial Park characters), wouldn't a more analogous comparison be Duffy the Disney Bear? Created by Imagineering and essentially launched in a gift shop in Tokyo DisneySea, a similar origin. Also, at least as far as Captain Cacao and Duffy...they're both bears.

I think Orange Bird is a better comparison— a mascot created to sell product.

I think Orange Bird is a better comparison— a mascot created to sell product.

Not at all to be argumentative, but Orange Bird was created for the Florida Citrus Commission, the sponsor of the Enchanted Tiki room...so it has some creation-dynamics (external sponsor, attraction tie-in) that are different from Duffy or Celestial Park characters (both also created explicitly to sell products), which I would contend are more similar. Anyway, this is all nuanced and not very consequential I realize.
