Some of the things listed under Critical Research Failure were justified so I added Artistic Liscene to the main page to address those issues.


* CriticalResearchFailure[=/=]DanBrowned: Ridley Pearson has gone on record stating how much research he has done on how the park and rides operate...this apparently does not extend to the characters themselves, however, with such instances as Frollo speaking with a heavy French accent (then again [[FridgeBrillaince The Hunchback of Notre Dame takes place in France]] so that makes sense), the Hyenas from The Lion King not being able to talk, and Tia Dalma and Jack Sparrow being villains (the latter is hinted at being under Maleficent's control, but STILL). Plus, according to him, [[SadlyMythtaken Chernabog is an evil ancient Aztec bat god that requires a blood sacrifice in a South American temple to be brought back to life instead of just being the Slavic god of darkness atop of Bald Mountain.]]. He also include characters that don't even exist, including a pair of French jesters in Epcot and Tom Sawyer (despite the fact there's Tom Sawyer Island in Frontierland, Tom doesn't actually appear there in reality).

** Most Disney fans make the argument that Pearson hasn't done research into the spirit of the park itself, including the fact that Walt Disney didn't even want to use holograms in any of the rides or the park itself after being approached by a company that created them, and Imagineers have continued to stay away from using them ever since. So technically the DHIs should not even exist!
** Plus, the park is NEVER completely abandoned after it's closed, not even by characters come to life. There are cleanup crews, Cast Members double-checking rides to make sure they are working and safe, and more. Plus, if there were characters running around and chasing the DHIs, wouldn't security have noticed by now?

• Speaking of which, there are a ton of characters that walk around where they're not supposed to be, like the Fantasia Brooms in the Voyage of the Little Mermaid show and the Country Bears in Mickey's Philharmagic. Not to mention Maleficent and Finn dressed as Aladdin fighting in Tomorrowland IN BROAD DAYLIGHT WITH A WHOLE CROWD OF TOURISTS WATCHING. As a former Character Attendant Cast Member, I'd like to say if that really happened in the park, that would never go over as smoothly as it did in those books. There's always a Coordinator or Manager watching the action somewhere and ready to report to the higher-ups in any department. This kind of action qualifies for instant termination for whoever's in those costumes. Yes I know they're technically the characters themselves, but nobody questions that they're there to begin with? Nobody notices?

Plus, according to him, Chernabog is an evil ancient Aztec bat god that requires a blood sacrifice in a South American temple to be brought back to life instead of just being the Slavic god of darkness atop of Bald Mountain. He also include characters that don't even exist, including a pair of French jesters in Epcot and Tom Sawyer (despite the fact there's Tom Sawyer Island in Frontierland, Tom doesn't actually appear there in reality).
• Most Disney fans make the argument that Pearson hasn't done research into the spirit of the park itself, including the fact that Walt Disney didn't even want to use holograms in any of the rides or the park itself after being approached by a company that created them, and Imagineers have continued to stay away from using them ever since. So technically the DHI Initiative should not even exist!
• Plus, the park is NEVER completely abandoned after it's closed, not even by characters come to life. There are cleanup crews, Cast Members double-checking rides to make sure they are working and safe, and more. Plus, if there were characters running around and chasing the DHIs, wouldn't security have noticed by now?
• Speaking of which, there are a ton of characters that walk around where they're not supposed to be, like the Fantasia Brooms in the Voyage of the Little Mermaid show and the Country Bears in Mickey's Philharmagic. Not to mention Maleficent and Finn dressed as Aladdin fighting in Tomorrowland IN BROAD DAYLIGHT WITH A WHOLE CROWD OF TOURISTS WATCHING. As a former Character Attendant Cast Member, I'd like to say if that really happened in the park, that would never go over as smoothly as it did in those books. There's always a Coordinator or Manager watching the action somewhere and ready to report to the higher-ups in any department. This kind of action qualifies for instant termination for whoever's in those costumes. Yes I know they're technically the characters themselves, but nobody questions that they're there to begin with? Nobody notices?

* MartyStu: Finn, oh FINN. He instantly has the answers to everything, he's automatically the unquestioned leader of the group, and most of the girls in the books want him. Plus, he never changes, grows as a character or learns anything.
