Favorite animatronic?

[Damon7777]

I favor "Hopper"......he moves nicely and is a very menacing and sizable figure. Oh and he is given a lot of dialogue.

Most overrated AA is blue jungle Navi figure singing and tapping on her kit on Navi River......fluid yes but she's sitting. Where's the interest or fun in that?.....better if one of those Navi figures simulated throwing a spear or shot an arrow, flipped us off---something, anything to keep us from falling asleep at the end.

Most underrated AA
Hmmmm?? I want to give it more thought.

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 always thought the monk was funny.

My favorite Disney animatronic is Ursula on the WDW Little Mermaid attraction. The shear size and fluid movements are incredibly accurate compared to her in the movie. They did an amazing job.

Another favorite would be the goblins at Gringotts. Those are the most lifelike animatronics of fictional creatures I've ever seen.

ursula is another one of my favorites. her and the navi shaman are both just so tall so they're both very cool to see up close.

I think Stitch might be one of the more underrated ones just because it was (is? Is that thing ever going to get an official closure?) inside such an overly despised attraction. Speaking of that theater, I think the alien from Alien Encounter was also a great AA that may have been underrated for it's time.

i love him a lot but i've never been to disneyland so i haven't seen him in person sadly...

he is so cool! the way his head disappears into the hatbox! impressive!

Most underrated AA is the little alien guy in the pizza restaurant in TDL. (Awful restaurant though) I like the astronaut dog in the GotG queue also.

i saw a video of that animatronic. i was expecting him to be similar to sonny eclipse but he seemed kind of annoying. that machine he was making pizza in was really loud and repetitive and i wouldn't want to listen to that during a meal.

Does that even count as an AA anymore since it technically has not moved in over 20 years

even those who never saw it move? kinda like that "if a tree falls in a forest, does it still make a sound" situation.

My best friends girlfriend was at Animal Kingdom and Hopper broke down and started squirting liquid onto the stage!

My favorite animatronic is a tie between Hondo Ohnaka and the Navi Shaman of Songs.
