Favorite animatronic?

Zero in new Toy story land

Wrong. Wheezy at the finale of SDD.

As I am reading this thread. I have noticed a slight reduction in NEW AA's for park expansions.
Zero in new Toy story land and 1 for Pandora.
Could AA's be considered old news.... Replaced with thrill rides.

I really hope not. AA's were what really made Disney unique to me.
I would like to add every AA in Horizons to my list........

You just reminded me of one of my old favs - Jules Verne floating with his chicken and dog in Horizons!

Oh me too, and there's a scene with the messy kitchen, I think it's Horizons, almost 100% sure.

Also, the horse/animals/people in the street scene in World of Motion....."It's fun to be free!"

I noticed that you stayed a few times at Port Orleans Riverside, is that the one that used to be Dixie Landings? If so, how did you like it there?

Yes to both of those! I think for myself, the single biggest shame out of losing Horizons and World of Motion was the loss of all of those remarkable audio-animatronics. The messy kitchen was great! I always remember the little kitten licking up the spilled milk on the floor was a nice little touch in that scene!

My bad... Not very impressive though.
Why no AA of Woody?

Yeah the Wheezy AA is pretty cool. From what I can tell, his movements seem good. If you’re a fan of Woody there’s a giant version of him at the entrance.

Don Lockwood in the Great Movie Ride!

 

[raymusiccity]

Those are some cool AA’s! I especially like the dragon from Paris!

I think that they should make this a permanent installation for the Haunted Mansion !!

Okay...looks like the rules have changed.

Therefore.... while my favorite THEME PARK Animatronic is S.I.R.

The greatest animatronics of all time were Stan Winston's T-Rex from Jurassic Park

And the Field Tiger velociraptors from The Lost World.

There’s a video of a Dino AA on Ralph the Rex’s Facebook page...it’s even more impressive than the Jurassic Park Dino, in my opinion!

I totally agree. The horse, the chickens, the pigs, the man in the manhole, etc. Horizons, I could be here all day about the effect that attraction has had on my memories for a lot of years. The big moon, Jules Verne, the kitchen, the underwater school, etc.

Hamm & Eggz - Kitchen Kabaret

Kitchen Cabaret. I have as much love for this as I do for Food Rocks....both were pretty great in different ways.

The REFRIGERATOR! LOL

Eh. To each his own. The one on his page is the one created for the "Walking With Dinosaurs" tour. As such, it was made to be collapsible to ship from location to location....and because the skin is essentially just inflated vinyl, it doesn't rally have any *weight* to it.

Personally, I prefer Rexy. She's not as historically accurate as the WWD Rex (which gets a new skin update every so often...originally it didn't have feathers), but she's the more impressive machine.

I heard they also brought back Mr. Potato Head, at Midway Mania. Isn't now considered part of
Toy Story Land?

 

[danyoung56]

It makes me laugh every time when I see them keep talking and laughing even though they got muted when the show was shortened.

It doesn't make me laugh - it makes me angry that the imagineers were so sloppy with the reprogram that they didn't fix this.

Where's the love for Sonny Eclipse?

THANK YOU. sonny eclipse is my absolute favorite [character-wise] along with literally everyone in COP.
technology-wise, it's the navi shaman, the dragon in paris, and the lava monster in tokyo. [and the yeti pre disco]
