Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan I find it rather strange myself. Usually, there is some sort of tie-in between an attraction and a non-Disney entertainment if they are selling the merchandise. Star Wars stuff next to Star Tours, I get it. There's a link there. Indiana Jones stuff in Adventureland? Sure. The character has been co-opted into the world of Disney. Corpse Bride -- now we're getting into a distant, six-degrees of separation link. Who knows -- maybe the Mansion will have a Corpse Bride Wedding makeover every June or something. ; ) Heck, Shrek merchandise might sell, too. Go ahead and plop that into the park.

I guess since the characters were in the movie they felt it was okay.
Originally Posted By John_CM Wow, I didn't know that. It still is rather strange. We had this discussion at lunch today at work, and someone mentioned that they had been to Knotts recently and while one store had Disney Princess merchandise, another had a lot of Nightmare product. Strange stuff.
