Favorite "American Adventure" audio animatronics diorama

[Bairstow]

Valley Forge wins it for me, mostly because of the lighting.
George Washington was often perceived as a larger-than-life, mythical figure, even in his own time, so it's an inspired decision to present him as a distant silhouette rather than a fully-lit figure close to the stage. It preserves a lot of his mystique, as the viewer shares the two soldiers' begrudging awe of him.

I was just inspired to watch the show on You Tube. Gosh, I love the Internet!

I had a lot of trouble picking just one part of the show. I love, love, love the whole show! That being said I voted for Washington and Valley Forge. Having lived within 30 minutes of Valley Forge my whole life, I have been there on numerous occasions. The trials and sufferings of the troops that winter deeply impress me. Plus if they hadn't made it through that winter and had new training thanks to the French and Prussians, there would be no American Adventure to speak of, or watch in this case.

WWII shipyard scene. I can't even explain why. It just does.

I voted for the Two Brothers Civil War story. That one gets me every time. I cry through the whole song.

I cry through the final movie clips and the finale. Thank goodness the theater is dark!

Chief Joseph...a powerful scene, voice, movements, smoke in the campfire below...

So many are done so well....I also can't forget Will Rogers....an animatronic spinning a lasso!

I think my favorite is Exposition Hall.

When they do the two brothers it always gives me the chills. So sad.

Soft bump: I thought this thread might have had bigger 'legs' (but that's okay); thanks for all the responses and votes. This attraction is awesome and hopefully everyone was, at least, reminded of this (sometimes) bypassed experience. There has been many a times when someone has said, you mean there is a show (in there).

personally, hands down this scene... because I actually make the same types of images that the photographer is creating in this scene and my camera and lens look very, very familiar since I use equipment consistent with the period.

I love the whole show from start to finish. My vote for Ben and Samuel comes from them being the start of this journey and the end of this journey. Ben Franklin did a lot in his time and he was a great American. Samuel Clemens was a good story teller and the two together work perfect.

Chief Joseph...a powerful scene, voice, movements, smoke in the campfire below...

My choice too.
