News The Hall of Presidents update from 2021

It's amazing the number of people who completely lack any self-control.

Really looking forward to hearing all the annoying cheers/boos for Obama again and all the new annoying cheers/boos for Trump when they do the roll call.

It’d be nice if Disney ran an announcement to hold applause and cheers for the end. Otherwise, there’s the door. Alas, I’m sure these troublemakers couldn’t even shut up in school, much less a theme park.

I love this attraction regardless of who's in office. Good thing it's integrity remains intact!

Are you making this up? I have watched the HoP a total of 3 times give or take while Trump was in office and in none of those occasions did anybody act out of line with the supposed cheers and boos that I constantly read about on here.

I never heard it with Obama either, although sometimes there was a sense of tension in the room. Really, people just need to grow the heck up. If a current President upsets you, skip the show. For my part, I'm relieved that the show is NOT going to be dumbed down and that there are NOT going to be actual hand puppets in the HoP. Although, I'd still rather that TDO just eliminated the new President speaking schtick, and just stuck with Lincoln speaking. End of controversy (to anyone with sense).

If HoP were ever in Epcot during Food and Wine the fireworks could really happen in the theatre after some have been drinking around the world!

Nope, not Patrick Stewart either!

looks a bit like Franz Beckenbauer (former German soccer player)

The best place to take a nap in the cold AC is the hardly filled American Adventure theatre 50plus minute show at Epcot

Its a shame since thats a great show!

It's funny how unlike the animatronic the people suggested so far look to me!

A free Dole Whip for whoever guesses the person I'm thinking of (because I sure as hell can't!).

I may not agree with certain presidents. But I still enjoy going to see HoP when the new president makes their appearance. I avoid watching their speeches until I can watch in person. I watch the first show then any additional shows I fall asleep during until we get a new president.

I’m getting current day George W. Maybe with a bit of Bill Pullman.

I wish they could just cast right from the face, or do a 3D scan and then cast from that.. it's eh, not really looking like him.

I think it’s the mouth. Reminds more of late West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd! I like the touch of the aviator glasses, though. It will be good to see the HoP again.

I'm afraid you don't get the Dole Whip either.

I think I'm thinking of an actor from the golden age of Hollywood. I tried searching for actors with cleft chins, but that only confused me further, and now I can't stop thinking of Henry Cavill.

Yipes, that’s one tired Cary Grant/Johnny Weissmuller/Rock Hudson.

HoP is a favorite but tops in my list is when the Voices of Liberty performed under the dome inside American Adventure. The acoustics were amazing.

So I think I finally have it (and we're very far outside classic Hollywood): Colin Farrel.

To be clear, the resemblance I'm seeing is with the animatronic, not Biden himself. And I'm still not entirely sure that this is who I'm actually thinking of!

 

[PizzaPlanet]

What's the better show? Hall of Presidents of American Adventure? I think it's pretty close honestly.

 

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

Much better likeness here than was done on the former president AA. From the nose up it's pretty accurate.

 

[Dan Deesnee]

I actually think they nailed it on the animatronics look. I really don't think the Obama or Trump ones look that great but this one looks pretty spot on.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Looks like a good sculpt of Biden based on that single photo. The update they did with Trump was very well executed, if they keep it largely the same with an updated role call and the current president speaking, I would call this a solid update.

 

[Clamman73]

I think they should skip the roll call…maybe add something with Trump to the film, the curtain rises showing all the presidents, Washington does his spiel, Biden says his thing.
