It's actually called a living character (I think that's the name on them). Someone controls it and it can "interact" with guests! Maybe someone can explain it better than I can!
That is a good pic of Remy (much better than I was able to get). So is he still there or not!?! I thought he was a great addition to the restaurant. It was character interaction but not as intrusive as a regular character meal. I would put Chefs de France back on my must do list if I knew Remy was still going to be there! My kids thought he was really cute!
