I keep seeing these polls to bring back "long lost friends" to the Disney parks for Limited Time Magic. It made me wonder why Disney would "retire" a character in the first place. The latest poll included Pinocchio, which surprised me. I would have thought he would be a "core" character that was always available in the parks. He was there when I visited in 2003. Not popular any more?
Anyway, does anyone know what goes into the reasoning when Disney parks decide to "retire" a character? Have they retired more due to the economy? I can understand why The Three Little Pigs might have been retired (they were also on the list), but not Pinocchio.
