My favorite was probably "7dmt animatronics will be worse than carousel of progress."
The physical figures themselves are indeed worse than Carousel of Progress, their motion definitely doesn't match even those archaic animatronics. The only "impressive" thing about these figures are the facial projections (and calling it impressive is a stretch). Even the Worlds Fair version of CoP had more motion to their figures than these, clearly seen in this making of video-
MY personal favorite is the guy earlier who said Hunny Hunt's figures were worse, lmao! I think these figures turned out well for what they are and what REAL insiders said they were. The reality was once again 100% spot on with what people like Lee have been saying for ages now- relatively simple figures with somewhat limited motion underneath the projected faces. They're decent figures and a step up over the original Snow White ride, but not the impressive ground breaking animatronic figures that DisneyConstruction23 and even now others like you are hyping them as (and those lies are one of the major reasons people are negative and disappointed in the first place). They're not bad looking figures, but one expects far more from Disney figures. Doubly so when Disney commands such an inflated price tag and prolonged construction period (along with fake insiders making up lies about the quality to be expected).
Projected faces are also nothing new by now and have been applied to much better moving figures than these before. Lumiere for example (as stated), the Cars in Radiator Springs Racers, and the Buzz Lightyear and Mr Potato Head figures in the queues of their respective rides.
I think nostalgia and childhood innocence have clouded our memories and kept us from being objective here. Grandma's "ice cream" was made of cardboard cut-outs and black light effects.
Grandma's ice cream didn't cost several hundred million dollars, nor did it take anywhere near as long to create (or lied about and falsely hyped as an E ticket). Compare this Mine Train instead to an actual E ticket ride like Horizons or any of the old Future World greats, all of which DID have massive quantities of cutting edge AA figures and ridiculously elaborate show scenes (and individually cost immensely less money and time to build). Or in more recent times, Splash Mountain, Sinbad, Pooh's Hunny Hunt etc.
. I think they look just perfect for the attraction, obviously I'll need to experience the overall feel of it by riding it but it certainly appears to be a lot better than the picture many on here were trying to paint which is a good thing.
(Sarcasm, everybody calm down.)
