I chose Child!Bambi as that's the one that appears in merchandising more and it allowed for the playstyle I mentioned. Adult!Bambi would have been more poke oriented with the antlers, but I wanted that for Pinnochio.
I didn't include Jack for a couple reasons. I was trying to focus on an "essential" 12. I was also doing my best to keep the number of characters from the Renaissance to a minimum. As you'll notice, the only characters from that time period are Simba, Mulan, Aladdin, and the Beast. Woody doesn't count as I had him designated as the surprise character and the token Pixar character. Pixar characters just happen to start from that time period. Some of the others I considered were Ariel, Robin Hood, Pocahontas (dat Colors of the Wind FS), Hercules, Maleficent, Merida, Buzz Lightyear, and Tarzan. Maybe if I do a Melee sized roster, I might add them.
