New Animated Timon at Festival of The Lion King

[wbboy29]

Hehe that's okay, my crush isn't on a monkey, but one of the other performers, so at least there would be no jealousy. Sometimes on stilts, sometimes on the ground - it's always a surprise where the hunk will arise.

Ah hahaha, until last year I was a performer in FOLK for about 3 years (stilts & player). I bet I know him very well :lol:

 

[rainfully]

My friends in skin-tight striped yellow spandex and orange mohawks tell me that the new animated Timon debuted at FOLK stage 2 days ago. I haven't seen it myself, but they say it's pretty cool, yet as jarring and unnerving as the first time you saw Mickey speak and blink at the castle show. I know this post is pretty useless without pictures, but expect them and video to follow soon...

Tee-hee.

:drevil:

I'm sure Timon has been like this in the DLP version for a while.

Thanks for the info. :sohappy:This will make a great show even better. Now if they can only move the show to Africa in AK. That will be a more fitting location than Camp M/M.

Uh.....when I saw FOTLK in 1998 Timon was animated then... :shrug:

"animated" as in the talking head technology from the Dreams Come True Castle Show.

Yep, when the show first opened 10 years ago they did use an animated head. Then for some reason they stopped. But what they used back then was a more primitive version of the technology they have now.

I believe he means animated in the sense that Timon's face now moves in sync with what he's saying, ala Dream Along With Mickey :wave:

Yes, that is what I means.

I am in love with on them but that's a diffrent topic.

your friends in the skin tight yellow spandex .. the tumble monkeys are gorgeous.. one in particular that i go to see A LOT

Wait a minute...I'm not the only one who goes to FOLK because I have a wicked crush on one of the handsome performers?

I suddenly feel as if a weight has been lifted.

They are definitely a talented group of guys, especially when it comes to beer pong and karaoke. To say I see my share of the monkeys is an understatement. Only one person here...

Tee-hee.

:drevil:

...truly knows what I mean. As long as you guys aren't talking about one in particular, Rain won't beat you to death with a stale churro. She's been in line for that one for a hot minute.

Oh . . sounds pretty amazing. Thanks for posting Spence! :sohappy:

MISS YOU!!!! I need to catch up with you soon!!

Yes Timon does now talk and blink. It is the same technology used at Hong Kong but not quite the same as the Dream Along with Mickey.

Miss you too! I thought you fell off the face of the earth . . . or were mad at me . . . :shrug: Email me if you have time!

Hi, Rain!! :wave:

 

[bingie]

Yeah, he is talking and blinking now - but, it is not the same technology as DAWM... very similar, but not electronic....
