Favorite animatronic?

[KBLovedDisney]

We have a thread on the scariest, now how about we start one on the favorites.

One of my favorites has to be this guy:

When I was a kid, I always thought this was a real person who just decided to prank people while on SSE.

Will always love the Sleeping Monk.

What are your favorites?

I just LOVE these scene in Splash Mountain! I made of a small video of it in May so I can watch it over and over again! AHHH 24 days until I'm back home!

SAME to both of the above!

Always thought the Kanga and Roo blustery day scarf fiasco was super ingenious for such a basic (and very lovable) ride.

Also shoutout to this guy.:

Since I am an engineer I look at this a different way than most of you. I would say the fluid motions and to character movements of Donald Trump makes him my favorite. I know the likeness is bad but as I said I look at this at a mechanical point of view.

Surprisingly I am a fan of the stitch animatronic, it is pretty impressive. And he walked way before that snowman (olaf) ever did.

The Auctioneer from Pirates is mine! Well, the Paul Frees-voiced version at least.

"Do I hear six? Who makes it six!?"


Runner-ups would be: Abraham Lincoln from HoP, Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain from the American Adventure, the guy 'hammering' away at the papyrus scroll on SSE, Ursula on Little Mermaid, any Brer Rabbit or Brer Fox or Brer Bears on Splash and finally the Yeti on Everest.

The Shaman from Na'vi River Ride. I not a big fan of the attraction but that is one cool animatronic.

I really really miss this version of the Auctioneer. My favorite line was "It be gold I'm after!"

I haven't seen the American Adventure in ages! Is he still there?

I am always amazed by the bridge sitting pirate.

Yeah, that was probably my fav line, too. Ugh, I loved his entire spiel of dialogue. They really did ruin that scene.

Ben Franklin is the host of the show along with Mark Twain...and they have been doing the show since 1982..

I always enjoy the Vultures that hang out at the top of Splash Mtn.

Especially with that “A hen for a ten?” line...that just seems to take the “pirate” right out of the scene. Selling women (although politically incorrect nowadays) was probably much more realistic than selling chickens. I do like the addition of the talking redhead though.

Ooohh, creepy. Those always were spooky to me.

My favorite animatronics on that ride are the Egyptian “pounding” on papyrus, and the horses in the Roman scene.
