    When I first saw this, I was convinced it was a cast member - it took wayyy too long for me to realize it was an animatronic. PHENOMENAL WORK

      If you have access to Disney+ you should watch The Imagineering story. It’s a six part documentary that goes through the evolution of Imagineering from its inception to modern times and while they don’t dedicate a whole episode to her, they do go into more detail explaining all the little motors in her face to make the realistic movements, I highly recommend it.
      I hope that they create an entire series where each episode is dedicated to one specific project and follow it from concept to fully realized creation.

    Wow!! This animatronic is amazing!!! But let me share my thought or a suggestion... Wouldn't it be much better if they could use more "lighter/softer" materials rather than the aluminium or metal?... Lets say (just an example) to use plastic, foam or many other softer materials... On the mechanisms... This could help with more natural freedom on the movements of the animatronic character.

    • @gavinw1732
      @gavinw1732 4 года назад +5

      eurossocial those materials would not impact its movement

    • @Floridafanatic28
      @Floridafanatic28 4 года назад +8

      Those materials are too soft. They wouldn't hold up for the duration of time this animatronic operates during the day. It would fall apart way too easy. Rips and tears as well.

This will be the “its a small world” if its not at least added to, to make it a little more interesting, Its got 1-2 effects areas. The rest is sounds and light only, i heard people asking “what are we watching”, then we get the shamen, and pass it to get out. Please add more to it Disney xx Love you and come every year but compared to Flight or soaring, its pretty poor x

I know that none of us are sick and that is not something we take for granted however I could not afford this on my own. I would love to have something for them to look forward to. My brother has learning difficulties and my sister is struggling socially in school now that Grandad is gone. This would transform both theirs and my lives as a trip to Disney I think would boost our morale as it has been something we have loved so much in the past.
