I thought Obama was done pretty bad. Just sayin.
The first effect of the presidents being unveiled when the curtain opens is still pretty cool (IMO). However, after a second glance over the AAs, the faces look off and kind of creepy and then yes the show gets very very boring.This is how we all get into a political fight on the boards...
Seriously though, the presidents are bad. Sometimes I wonder if they are bad because of the technology or if the shear boredom of the attraction just brings out how bad the figures are, because you have to focus on them for so long.
I voted for Bush...mine wasn't a veiled political statement. George W is a terrible animatronic, straight up. Obama isn't good either, but Bush is worse.
Very true! I just happened to be in that seat right by her on my last ride. Wow, she was bad. Gene Kelly and Julie Andrews are pretty darn bad as well - as is Bogart. It's kind of sad how bad everything there is.
I think out of all of the AAs in GMR, Bogart and Bergman are in much better shape. They looked more realistic than the rest (well except that they didn't make Bogart his exact height).Very true!

I cannot comment on those who talked about the Presidents. It's been decades since I've gone
I didn't vote for Obama but my comment wasn't a political statement either. I really think it was poorly done.
I've never understood why they can't/won't fix that. It's been like that ever since I can remember I almost assume that's how it's supposed to be...
I've asked that question before and never gotten an answer. I think the hippo might be winking, but it sure seems like a creepy stuck eyelid to me.
Perhaps we are supposed to be considerate of it's lazy eye lid.

Which makes no sense. All of the Presidents aside from Obama were sculpted by the late, great Blaine Gibson....and he made each one of them PERFECT. How that translated into odd-looking animatronics has me scratching my head.
Perfect example: Gibson sculpting a near-perfect bust of George W. Bush.
And here's what the completed animatronic looked like:
Something was obviously lost in translation.
