I wonder how Hawaiians feel about this movie portraying their homeland to the world, especially since it's not based in any local stories or traditions. It could have just as easily been set in Topeka, Kansas, but wouldn't have been as pretty to look at.

Those of us who think of an attraction as a cohesive presentation, and those of us who think of it as a boat ride past cute things. If it's good enough for Six Flags ...

So I can see them tying the Disney characters back into the folklore and history/literature of the countries. But how in Walt's name can they justify Stitch. He's not from Hawaiian folklore. Nor a significant piece of Hawaiian literature. He's a Saturday Morning ABC cartoon character. A lesser star the Scooby Doo.

I have nothing whatsoever against Stitch, as he was the star of one of the few really good hand-drawn features in recent years. But adding curlicues to his ears doesn't qualify him for inclusion in iasw!
Originally Posted By dshyates "Whoa, now, let's don't go that far! I have nothing whatsoever against Stitch,..." But what do you have against Scooby Doo. So what if he got he start on the small screen. He's put his time in. And his early stuff is classic. Although by the end of the 70s he was pretty strung out. And that really hurt is early 80s stuff. But he's pulled it together, and has franchised his brand pretty well. I hear he hooked up with the same guy who pulled Areosmith's career back together. Not surprising with as tight as Scooby is with Steven Tyler and all. Yeah, you didn't know? Uh huh, yeah, they met at Betty Ford's.
