As much as Disney theme parks are all about the rides and attractions

Another major part of the Disney experience are the characters from meet and greets, the stage shows,

parades and special appearances. All your favorite characters from classic Disney films and TV shows can be seen at the parks

Now throughout Disney's theme park history, especially in the 90s at Walt Disney World,

there's been some weird and interesting characters that have appeared

For the most part they're now all extinct

But these characters will probably leave you scratching your head wondering why?

They're weird for a variety of reasons like characters that aren't even owned by Disney,

strange character costume designs,or the sudden disappearance of an extremely popular character.

So today while looking through some Disney theme park history

We're gonna be counting down the top 5 weird and extinct characters from the Disney theme parks

Number 5 the Dick Tracy crew. If you visited disney-mgm

Studios or Disney Land in the early 90s you may have encountered these guys, and yes

they actually appeared in the parks. Dick Tracy was a comic strip character from the

1930s that was turned into a film by touchstone pictures in

1990. If you aren't familiar with touchstone pictures

It's a label under the Walt Disney studio umbrella

They produce the films that usually aren't directly on brand with the Disney name so when it comes to touchstone characters

Disney decides if they want them to become quote-unquote Disney characters so in

1990 a 28-minute musical called Dick Tracy starring and diamond double cross

Opened at video appleís and Disneyland and at the original theater of the stars at MGM

Now the film used prosthetics to make the actors appear more cartoon like but at the theme parks

They created full masks where the performers were still able to open and close their mouths

Halloween masks don't they now it is a bit odd that a show based on a more mature film appeared in Fantasyland at Disneyland

But this appearance kind of makes sense for MGM studios at the time the park was brand new and Universal Studios

so including these non-traditional type Disney characters seem to be a way to directly compete with the

Demographic that Universal Studios would be aiming towards the show at MGM ran for nine months then closed in February of

1991 so these characters were never seen again, thankfully

But this wasn't the end of non traditional Disney characters at the park

Number four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the 90s were definitely the prime at disney-mgm

You'd probably remember that New York Street used to be home to a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle show

Now you're probably wondering why are the Ninja Turtles at a Disney theme park?

Well, you aren't the only ones thinking that because if you go back and watch any of the videos on YouTube

There's a lot of confused people in the comments. They made their debut at the park on July 1st

1990 and earlier that year in March the live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was released

It was a complete hit and again, Disney was looking at ways to directly compete with Universal Studios

So Ninja Turtles seemed to fit this agenda

The Ninja Turtles would roll down the street in their van

Head to the stage for a little live show that would do a meet and greet shortly after

At this time the Ninja Turtles were owned by Mirage Studios and were distributed by CBS

The only real connection Disney had to the Ninja Turtles was through Jim Henson

He actually created the articulated costumes for that 1990 live-action film

And this was around the same time when Disney was in negotiations to merge with the Jim Henson company

but that deal didn't go through since Jim Henson passed away suddenly in May of

1990 so it appears that the Ninja Turtles at MGM Studios

Were just a theme park licensing deal that could have been acquired through the Jim Henson connection although

It's weird seeing these characters in a Disney park

They remained extremely popular during the early 90s

But all good things must come to an end Disney's contract for the Ninja Turtles ended on May 31st

1995 when the turtles drove their van right out of the park and disappeared forever

So if you think frozen in Norway doesn't fit with World Showcase wait till you hear about this in

1993 Disney brought Barbie to Epcot to celebrate her 35th birthday

That's right. The doll Barbie. She became the ambassador of friendship at Epcot and along with Ken and many of her other friends

The magical world of Barbie opened on Thanksgiving Day in

1993 at the America Gardens theater and World, Showcase

Now when Barbie wasn't doing shows she and Ken would also cruise into world showcase in their pink limo to do meet and greets

Just saying the words Barbie and World Showcase in the same sentence sounds really really weird

I mean if this was happening at MGM Studios

It would be kind of normal for the time, but the fact that Barbie was a main part of Epcot

Just makes the whole thing very strange. Now, you're probably wondering

Why exactly Disney would bring Barbie of all characters to Epcot?

Well it has to do with the Mattel toy company becoming a major corporate sponsor of the Disney theme parks Mattel is the company behind

Disney was required to create an entire show based on the character also beginning around 1993

Epcot began to see a decrease in attendance so another reason why they may have chose Epcot was to try and boost attendance

Now it is rumored that Disney wasn't too thrilled with Barbie actually being at Epcot

But this sponsorship from Mattel is how we got a roof over the America Gardens theater

So at least that's one good thing to come out of this the magical world of Barbie lasted a year and a half

1995 and along with her pink limo Barbie disappeared back into her plastic world

number two Roger Rabbit so earlier in the video we talked about TouchStone pictures

And how Disney uses this label for more mature themed films?

They also use it for films that they aren't necessarily confident in just in case the movie flops it wouldn't be

Associated with the Disney brand so back in 1988 Who Framed Roger Rabbit was released through touchstone pictures

Due to its more mature themes and the fact that they actually weren't confident with the film

to their surprise it became the second highest grossing film of

1988 and Roger Rabbit became a staple character of the Disney theme parks

Although Who Framed Roger Rabbit was more mature than your average Disney film

The fact that he was an animated rabbit makes a bit more sense that he appeared next to Mickey Mouse

unlike the characters from that Dick Tracy movie from 1988 into the early 90s

Roger Rabbit appeared literally everywhere he had his own segments in multiple stage shows

Had his own 45-foot balloon float in the daytime parade at Disneyland and Walt Disney World

Roger Rabbit was pretty much the Elsa Anna of the late 80s and early 90s

But the weird part about this character is how he just disappeared

Disney brought on Steven Spielberg to help with the film and this gave him 50 percent of the rights to the characters
