They could segue/morph from the last set of COP with the characters/family into what the future has in store. There were numerous inventions after the COP was halted. Now they can pick up where they left off. Except, bring the presentation up to 2025 and beyond. The audience attention span is...

If they go that far...bring back "Inner Space" too!

Great ideas. Should they follow your idea, they might as well adjust the left arm movement so Walt doesn't keep putting his hand near his side so many times. They could work on his height (give him lifts, make it an easy adjustment). They could hem his pants. They can add velcro to the neck and...

You are probably correct. For years they have allowed the Hall of Presidents to have heads that don't come close to the quality of what Blaine Gibson created. The time and care he took to make sure the sculptures he made looked like each president either close up or from the back chair in that...

Ditto!

Thank you for writing an excellent evaluation of what you saw as well as thoughtful words that maybe someone at Disney will review (one can dream, right?). Like you mother's comments; those words she said will be repeated again and again as this display 'lives on' in the park. Will they improve...

You are not the first person to suggest the Muppets possibly hosting a look through American history in that hall. It would allow selected presidents to appear and then maybe Disney could spend their funds from McScrooge's vault and hire artists who have the talent to actually bring available...

You're right, today's Disney imagineers are working more closely with the advancement animation and all the possibilities rather than creating a mask that looks like the presidents. That's gone on for decades. There are talented artists 'out there' that can take the photos of each president and...

A comment that was recently mentioned was the artistry is not taking top priority as it did when Walt was watching over the completion. You mentioned President Binden's appearance in your post, attached are two photos to show just how far off the artistry has been for a while. Sorry that I...

Sculpting is an expert art form that can be amazing. To watch an artist look at a 8 x 10 photo and create a three dimensional clay head that looks like it could speak is totally amazing. Blaine Gibson had that talent. How is it possible there aren't others who have similar abilities? All it...

Heavy sigh..The initial opinion or perception someone forms in that first meeting, is formed within seconds. That first impression will be what all of the attendees will have from this point forth. They should have gotten it right before the first words came out. "To improve is to change; to be...

This is an photo of Mr. Lincoln from the New York World's Fair display in 1964-1965. Blaine Gibson used a life mask to create this magnificent wonder of that time. What's happened to Mr. Lincoln? What's happened to so many of the presidents in the Hall of Presidents? The old question the...

When Walt was alive, AA was in its infancy. You know there's no way to forget many, many years ago when air dropped out of Mr. Lincoln and he fell back into his chair. Right after that happened, a member in the audience shouted out, "Mr. Lincoln has been shot...again." Yes, there are more like...

Confirmation. The head fits better, the sculpt is still off, there's a confirmation of scores on this site and around the world who have only seen what has been shown online. Those who have seen the display, come out readdressing the same issues (and even a few more). The brows and mustache are...

Ah, no...the head is still the same. Most likely they have a number of faces available to them for future replacement as time goes passes. The product that is being used has a 'shelf life' to it as do all of the faces on these figures. Possibly, it is merely a different fitting of the same...

Reading this quote by Mr. Gustin, "...even if it has a few imperfections..." is disappointing because he didn't come out and state what those imperfections were to the reader. He saw the entire display and that was what he was reviewing. To the reader, they will be curious of what he meant. When...

It probably would look even better if you stood next to Tom Sawyer's island... :)

The process starts out the same. First, you need an artist whose hands can expertly follow their eyes. That's what has been missing for a long time.

Good call. Why was it necessary to place the ash tray on the desk? Why couldn't place an award or statue of Mickey or? Watch the movements of the left arm and hand. I guess they couldn't figure out what to do with it except place it back in the same position. Unfortunately, facing the display...

The idea that Disney couldn't locate an artist to create a claying of Walt's head doesn't make sense. They have the financial backing to pay someone a fair price to create one. Saying 'that's the best they can do' doesn't really cut it in the world of expertise today. They should have held off...
