I realize this is subjective but to me and upon reading others involved at Epcot, the original looks of the AA figures such as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain looked more realistic and human in their faces than the current versions of each, despite the faster limb movements of the A-100 models.
The current version of the animatronic figures looks very mannequin and stiff or worse, their faces look like "sagging silicone". My view is the same about many of the Presidents in the "Hall of Presidents." It seems to me that the quality of the realism of their facial features has gone down despite improvements in their movements.
Does anyone have any photos of the original American Adventure show that ran from 1982 to 1993 prior to the refurb changes? (especially pictures of Ben Franklin and Mark Twain on the Statue of Liberty tower and also the beginning scene of Ben and Mark at the table discussing history)
Sincerely,
Bill
