But yes, come to think of it, it's not every day that our now famous (and for some, notorious) blue furred extraterrestrial has turned 10 wonderful years on this planet (since his first movie enthralled audiences and warmed hearts back in 2002), I guess it's only safe to allocate this week to pick out the (fortunately few!) highlights attempting to make use of Stitch (after all, his first theme park attraction, Stitch's Great Escape did not really do him justice since he came on the scene and bumped Alien ExtraTerrorestrial in November 2004).
Yes, love him or loathe him, Stitch is definitely mischievous, cheeky and annoying at times, but be blessed, he's loveable, and right now he has a fanbase spanning worldwide (well, give or take a few large fanbase concentrations in the US and Japan). No shame, however, with the author actually familiar with such a blue furred celebrity, and being one of many, many, Stitch appreciators and fans celebrating this anniversary. Or maybe there's opportunity for merchandise. Some of us do not know. But it's happening.
Anywho, some articles of interest that touched on Stitch in the previous two years...
- From What The WT-, some thoughts and ideas if Stitch would have been picked as a Meet and Greet character for Wonders of Life to symbolise its futuristic/science aspects.
- From Operation: Imagineer, as part of the second part of the post, if Stitch was involved as a character candidate for the pavilion (and probably a few hints on how I would wished it to be)
- And inspired by a thread comment which mentions how bad it could be if you bring blue fur overboard (no scorn! no scorn!), plus a forum board stunt which involved some voting between members (only forum members eligible to vote, but rather interesting results so far.)

Frankly, I love the idea of Stitch in Wonder of Life. It really is a perfect fit and add the right factors of "Attractive to Kids" and "Amuses Adults" while sneaking something educational right under everyone's collective noses in the process.
