Best/ Favorite Animatronic?

[Magenta Panther]

When they were in top working order, the animals in Country Bear Jamboree were my absolute faves.

The scanning droid from Star Tours is pretty great, and i'm a big fan of Sonny Eclipse, always makes me happy when I walk in to Cosmic Rays and he's sitting at the piano crooning.

You mean the amazing Astro Organ!!!

i used to like the guy in the stitch's great escape ride. the robot near the start. apologies for my lack of knowledge for his name

That would be S.I.R. For Simulated Intelligence Robotics.

Those Disney attraction soundtracks are showing some value!

Is Remy still there? I remember reading about him years ago, but thought he had departed. (I've never seen him, but I hadn't eaten at CdF in a long, long time.)

Unfortunately Remy's last appearance at Chefs de France was in late 2013.
I never saw it "in person".
We will see him again when he comes back with his own ride

Mainly for nostalgia reasons, my favorites will always be Jose, Pierre, Fritz and Michael from the Enchanted Tiki Room.

And the original Figment.

Just want to take a moment to appreciate Rover in CoP and how he defends Patricia from the brother's snark.

I supposed I'll go with Dad in COP. (He also seemed to appear in Mission to Mars in Tomorrowland, as well as in Horizons in Epcot.). But it IS hard to choose. Big Al in the Country Bears is also a fav

Timekeeper

 

[Po'Rich]

Yes! Because his name was Dr. Johnson in Mission to Mars, my family always referred to him as "Mr. Johnson" on all three attractions. My memory is probably wrong on this, but I could have sworn that before Jean Shepherd did the voice in CoP, the voice was very similar or perhaps even the same on all three.

There are so many including the muppets, the presidents, and the upcoming hondo ohnaka animatronic is amazing !

The only Muppets Animatronics at WDW are the four old men, Sweedish Chef, Penguins, and Bean in Muppet-Vision 3D. The core Muppets Characters don't have animatronics.

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

If I can include past ones as well it’s Dreamfinder, Donald Trump, Brer Bear, John and Spectros Jiminy Cricket.

The Fluke who is the duke of sole in little mermaid

I'm going to have also put in an honorable mention for the suit of armor in the HM.

My fave retired animatronic was the fruit/veggies in Kitchen Kabaret. Esp the broccoli. Cha Cha cha!

 

[JustAFan]

All the animatronics in Radiator Springs Raceway in DCA are top notch. At WDW, although the ride is subpar in my opinion, Frozen Ever After has very good animatronics.

My favorite, though while not the best, is the sleeping monk on Spaceship Earth. I always get a kick out of that one.
