ok, here's a question for you...do you like the animatronics in PotC and HM, or would you prefer big screens all through the attractions with actors acting out the scenes? i'm not trying to be smart, but it's the same principle here. pre-shows, such as the Aerosmith one, are just that...shows. they're not meant to envelope you in an attraction...they just allow you to see what's in store for you, and also set up a storyline for attractions that otherwise would seem rather pointless. animatronics, however, help to make you feel as though you were a part of the attraction itself, because they are 3-D human-like creations....you just can't get the same mood or effect with flat screens.
now, as for the major question...yes, i do think that animatronics are becoming extinct...as much as i hate to admit that. i think it's horrible how Disney's letting so many of them go to waste. i'm all for the petition, picket line, hang cuffing myself to one of them (especially one in SSE)...whatever it takes! this means war! count me in!

With rumors floating around about the closing of Cranium Command and Food Rocks are animatronic attractions becoming extinct?
In EPCOT we've already lost Horizons & World of Motion for more ride/thrill style attractions. Some of the most beloved attractions in all the Disney Parkks are "E" ticket animatronic attractions. I hope the don't go comepletely by the wayside. When done properly they are first class entertainment.

I wouldn't be surprised if Epcot loses most of it's animitronics during Project Gemini.

Unfortunately, I don't think we will see extensive use of Animitronics in future attractions. I'm pretty sure they will stick around in the Magic Kindom, especially in the classic rides, though.
I wouldn't be surprised if Epcot loses most of it's animitronics during Project Gemini. It's a shame, but seems inevitable. Animitronics are expensive and require a ton of overhead to run, so apparantly some people feel the money is better spent on 'thrills'. I personally disagree, I think they need to have a mixture of both - but what do I know?
