Out of so many things we love about the Disney parks, the AA's make a lot of the attractions come to life and memorable for us. So, here's the question:

I've always liked the old man with the lamp in the HM. Always makes me laugh when I see him.

My mistake! :brick::brick::brick: :hammer:

Easy... the Indiana Jones AAs at Disneyland. The hanging one is especially fun.

They are realistic, they serve a purpose, and they are believable.

Kind of ironic: one of the AAs on my list was the Jack on the Haunted Mansion overlay, which is exactly where the man in HM is!

I haven't been to WDW in a few years now so I haven't seen some of the ones already mentioned. So for now I'll go with the Carnotaurus in Dinosaur.

The Auctioneer and the Red Head in POTC. I don't love them because they are technologically advanced or even because they are visually amazing (although I enjoy looking at them ) They bring about my favorite disney memory that is kind of personal to my family and I. Every time we ride the ride and the pirate is auctioning her off, the other pirates shout "We wants the redhead!" My father would always point to my mother and say "She's right here!!" He didn't refer to me since I guess I was only a kid but now that I'm an adult he says "They're right here!"

I've heard that the auctioneer is actually one of the most advanced AAs at WDW, because if they develop a new technology, they test it out on him. Anyone care to verify/debunk this theory?

I think that's true! I guess I worded it weirdly but I meant to say I don't love it because it is advanced. I love it for other reasons

At DLR IJ, the hanging one is the best one! At WDW it depends on the park. At MK I prefer the Bride at HM. She looks like Chucky's Bride, which is creepy. At AK, the Yeti, hands down--when it works. DHS, it's probably Judy Garland in TGMR. And Epcot...probably the family watching the moon landing in SSE.

That's too funny! I always looked for him when I was a kid. At DLR, the guy would spill his "booze" on you, and you would end up getting drenched if you were in the back row. I always enjoyed that.

I am not sure if extinct ones count but I have to go with S.I.R. The sinister voice just made him perfect.

 

[Mr Toad]

All of them in CoP.

 

[MousDad]

I don't have a favorite AA.

But my favorite statue is the yeti.

[prspeppers]

As a musician, my favorite AA was the guy in Horizons making music on some sort of futuristic keyboard. I used to ask my parents if they could buy me one!

It happens you know? Besides, sometimes the topic needs to be brought up all new because over time peoples answers change.

But anyway, I think honestly its hard to pick a fav but two of my favorites are Mark Twain and Benjamin Franklin in The American Adventure. They way they move so fluently. Heck, Ben Franklin even looks like he walks up stairs! Plus the fact Mark Twain and Ben Franklin's wit is something I love.

Acttually almost all the animatronics in this show are some of my favorites. They all move so realistically. I mean, George Washington's horse even swings its head like a real horse.
