Winnie the Pooh Updates

In order for him to point out certain people in the crowd and identify them by the color of their shirts or somehting like that, there's a little control behind it sometimes.

I thought potatohead was all pre-recorded? :shrug:

I've seen him interact with the crowd at times. Similar to crush. That has to be done with voice talent.

I was told it was an actor who pre-recorded tons of stuff and a CM is behind the scenes interacting with the quests but you never hear the CM. There is no way they could get enough actors for 365 day out of the year that sounds like the real actor. Notice how all the interactions are vague and could be said to anyone with glasses or a red shirt...

Good point. Effective. Possibly same tech for Pooh?

I'd bet WD Imagineering has came up with a voice modulator for the new additions to the living interactive characters.

Another Notice of Commencement was filed by WDI last Thursday: "Adventures of Pooh Showset Interactive Props Package"

Talk about destroying the magic. Disney had me going on that one. :lol:

Yeah, that's correct. Don Rickles recorded a large number of lines for Mr. Potato Head. A CM controls and chooses which lines are used every day depending on who's in the crowd, what they're wearing, etc.

I think we could be seeing something of that nature in the line. I think more things like TSMM's Mr. Potato Head would be welcome in just about every ride.

An interesting Notice of Commencement was filed by WDI yesterday: Experience Development - Pooh Screen Installation Package

Interesting. Similar to crush possibly? Seems that would really clog the line though...

I'm curious to find out.

 

[unkadug]

I'd like to know what a pooh screen is also..it doesn't sound too nice. :lookaroun

 

[inluvwithbeast]

Pooh screen... clog the line...

:lookaroun

LOL!!


PoohBear's name is just unfortunate, really.

Speaking of the Pooh ride, rode it today and noticed that in the first show scene, blustery day, all the overhead white worklights were on and you could see all the metal beams and ceiling and black sheets and junk above the sets. I was getting SSE decent dejavu, but anyway not sure what was going on, it was only in that one room.

 

[spectromagic04]

I thought that Ravan said that there was not going to be any kind of screens in the poohs next generation project.

 

[jhastings74]

All in all, I seem pretty satisfied with everything so far, including changing up the plans a bit in the middle of them all. I enjoyed the photo tour on screamscape (credited link here -> http://orlandoparksnews.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-fantasyland-update-part-1.html


If nothing else, I think it will make a cute Pooh Bear ride even more immersive, making it even more cute for the appropriate age range(s) guests.

I noticed that the first time I rode it. It really ruins the scenes IMO.

 

[jjharvpro]

I actually am really getting excited about this exterior refurb! Can't wait to see pics when it's done and to see it myself next March!!

So that means Tom Fitzgerald is not involved. :drevil:
