News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

Sounds interesting, reminds me sort of like an updated version of the Frito Kid display from back in the 50s-60s. Still wish I could have experienced that.

@Darkbeer1 what do you think, sound like this generations Frito Kid?

Is this going to be a static figure like the vomit kid in Wizarding World? But with a dialogue track? Or do we think full AA?

Based on how MC describes it, it sound like it'll have at least some movement.

Based on the MC description I’m thinking it’ll be fountain like with the ‘tears’ falling out into a drain of some kind and then cycled back up. Interested to see it in action and equally as interested in whether it will work longterm! Sounds neat though.

So it’s just candy tears that light up? That’s the complex mechanism?

Yup, no movement, but it talks. Link below:

Okay I was really giving them benefit of the doubt when MC posted it was a complicated mechanism... but we waited months for a static figure with lights.

 

[trainplane3]

...that's it? They really couldn't do any better then a (well detailed!) statue that plays some recordings and has some lights? The wait was how long for this thing?

Complete with audio taken directly from the movie. A+

That doesn't even sound like Richard Kind to me, but what do I know.

Edit: I take it back looking at a longer video it does sound like Richard Kind. I guess the short video wasn't good quality or something.

 

[dweezil78]

Weird. Where did the ‘complex’ mechanism rumor even come from?!

 

[TROR]

Everything about this has been an absolute mess.

MC....

 

[Disney Irish]

Maybe they just haven't turned on the complex mechanism yet.

That whole thing is considered a "complex mechanism" because... It's not a screen.

Additions like this will make Disneyland an utter ghost town, as nothing there can compete with this statue.
