Disney One REALLY angry Pluto

I just saw this video on the main page of MySpace. I really wonder what the kid did that Pluto started chasing him. I'm sure we'll read about it soon.

ETA: There's another video posted up that explains what was going on.

You can run in those things? I'm impressed.

What's sadder still is that the Pluto probably got reprimanded or even fired. And, where was Pluto's assistant this time? The assistant should have stopped the kid right up front.

Don't all costumed characters get assistants? Even at the meet and greets, I saw the assistants right by their sides.

Stupid kid, Pluto should have bit him.

Not really, I hope he/she was fired. The character violated so many Disney policies as to be funny.

If you can't stand the ears, get out of Disney (which I bet he/she did).

How do you know what all the Disney policies are? And kids should know better than to pull on Pluto's ears. How would you like to be wearing an additional 5 lbs secured tightly on your head, and having your head yanked to the side repeatedly?

Oh I so disagree with this it isn't even funny at all. He violated NO disney rules that I could see because it wasn't until the very end of the chase that people figured it wasn't "in fun". The mom didn't even get involved until the end.

In fact, Pluto makes sure he has witnesses because the mother shoved him down into the streets.

Now, I'm not advocating character violence at all, but I really think it is sad that Disney doesn't stand behind their characters when they've got kids doing these mean things to them (like standing up to the mom instead of cowering from her)...

What was really funny is that Pluto stops to, apparently, tell a couple what just happened.

Eventually, the kid will try to yank the ears of a pitbull, and then Darwin will take care of the problem.
