Inter Alios: "Goofy ignored her, ran away and disappeared behind a fence. My daughter was devastated. We haven't been back, and will never go back."

Because of the Goofy incident, or something else?

I doubt this was serious, except for the woman at the end. WDW characters chase kids all the time, and the chase looks like it was Pluto having fun. I think maybe the lady thought he was going too far -- she seems to have taken him seriously, as if she thought he was scaring the kid. Even as she scolds him, the character is mocking her, then after he takes the pratfall, he walks back into the crowd, making those "Did you see that?" gestures that the characters down there use a lot.

Trust me, if there had been even a remote possibility that the character was intentonally hostile, we'd have read about a lawsuit by now.

That settles it. When I start my theme park, my constumed performers will be armed.

I wonder what the kid did. The mom grabing Pluto was funny.

Maybe it's a bit low-brow, but anyone tripping and falling in a big costume equals comedy gold.

Apparently some kid kicked “Pluto” and homeboy went all buck wild on the little boy.

Yeah, Irish. I have no idea what Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck would do in any given situation. Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck, though -- you know what those guys are all about.

I totally agree that Looney Tunes characters are much more individual characters.

Ari...I was surprised Pluto/Goofy could run, too. I'm really interested in the back story.

I have to wonder where Pluto's character attendant was. They are supposed to protect the characters from getting hurt and the guests also. I am also surprized that Pluto could run, since the visibility is next to nothing.
