      If you have access to Disney+ you should watch The Imagineering story. It’s a six part documentary that goes through the evolution of Imagineering from its inception to modern times and while they don’t dedicate a whole episode to her, they do go into more detail explaining all the little motors in her face to make the realistic movements, I highly recommend it.
      I hope that they create an entire series where each episode is dedicated to one specific project and follow it from concept to fully realized creation.

    But I want to see SO much more of how it works, how the engineers made it, and what troubles came with making such a complicated BEAST of a robot. Glad we got a little look at the robotics, but I’d love to see the process more in-depth!

  • @eurossocial
    @eurossocial 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Wow!! This animatronic is amazing!!! But let me share my thought or a suggestion... Wouldn't it be much better if they could use more "lighter/softer" materials rather than the aluminium or metal?... Lets say (just an example) to use plastic, foam or many other softer materials... On the mechanisms... This could help with more natural freedom on the movements of the animatronic character.

    • @gavinw1732
      @gavinw1732 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

This will be the “its a small world” if its not at least added to, to make it a little more interesting, Its got 1-2 effects areas. The rest is sounds and light only, i heard people asking “what are we watching”, then we get the shamen, and pass it to get out. Please add more to it Disney xx Love you and come every year but compared to Flight or soaring, its pretty poor x

    I recently lost my Grandfather who my siblings and I lived with. It has broken all of our hearts and the only thing that my siblings talk about now is happier times when we visited DisneyWorld. I know that none of us are sick and that is not something we take for granted however I could not afford this on my own. I would love to have something for them to look forward to. My brother has learning difficulties and my sister is struggling socially in school now that Grandad is gone. This would transform both theirs and my lives as a trip to Disney I think would boost our morale as it has been something we have loved so much in the past.
