Hi all! I have been very busy this last week, and so have missed some key dates, including Goofy's Birthday!
Goofy first made his starring debut in the Mickey Mouse short, Mickey's Revue on the 12th May 1932.
So here is a belated photo tribute to that loveable but clumsy dog!
Happy Belated birthday Goofy!

Hi all,
Today would have been James Barrie's 152nd Birthday. JM Barrie is best known for creating Never Never Land, and it's most famous inhabitant, the Boy Who Never Grew Up, Peter Pan!
It was nearly a hundred years after Barrie's birth that it was made into a motion picture by Walt Disney, but it was worth the wait.
Walt Disney's masterpiece, Peter Pan, is one of Disney's most treasured films and has given the world of Disney much to play with over the years, from attractions, shows, characters and more.
Of course, this is a character website, so let's take a look at some of the characters that have featured in the Parks, inspired by the original plays written over a hundred years ago by J. M. Barrie.
Happy 152nd Birthday James Barrie!

Hi all,
Today is the 69th birthday of the most loveable, troublesome twosome, Chip and Dale!
First featuring in the animated short, Private Pluto on April 2nd 1943, they have continued to annoy poor Pluto and the perpetually harassed Donald Duck ever since!
With a long and varied career, they are among our most favourite characters, and we have had many fun experiences with them over the years.
So in true Character Central style, here is our photographic tribute! [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
Today is the 5th anniversary of the release of Disney's Meet the Robinsons.
With memorable characters such as Wilbur, Lewis and Bowler Hat Guy (Michael Yagoobian), it is a movie about self discovery and friendship.
We were lucky enough to meet the Robinsons ourselves last year in Disneyland Paris, so here's some of my favourite pictures to celebrate their special day!
Happy Birthday Lewis, Wilbur and Michael!
Remember, Keep Moving Forward!

| Happy 60th Birthday Clarice! | |

Today is the 60th anniversary of the release of the Chip and Dale cartoon, Two Chips and a Miss (1952).
It was the only animated short to ever feature Clarice, and has earned her almost a cult status amongst character fans; which means it is also Clarice's 60th birthday!
It is one of the very rare occasions also where Chip and Dale work against each other - to win the sole affection of the beautiful singer, Clarice. Both madly in love with her, they try a variety of things to get her attention. In the end Clarice gives them both a kiss, and they sing the night away all together, at the club where she works, the Acorn Club.
Today, Clarice can be found in the Disney Parks worldwide, most notably in Paris and Tokyo.
So let's take a look at some of our favourite pictures of Clarice from our time at the Parks, and let's wish her a very happy 60th birthday!
Happy 60th birthday Clarice!

Hi all,
Today marks the 45th anniversary of the opening of the original Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in Disneyland, California.
Of course we are a Character site, and Pirates of the Caribbean inspired the movie series. From that we were given probably one of the most popular characters in recent history, Jack Sparrow.
As well as Captain Jack, we have also seen Angelica and Captain Barbossa appear in the Parks.
So, to celebrate here are some pictures of them at the Parks!
Happy 45th anniversary Pirates of the Caribbean!
