Cars Animatronics

[@groenfan851]

Ahoyhoy There, Fellow KZbinrino! I prefer the old Animatronics.

[@churchc1ty233]

The cars ones are insane they actually made animated characters look completely alive

[@ray-rayrambles3263]

I agree when I went to Disneyland last, I kept telling my family LOOK HOW AMAZING the cars animatronics were. They were a lot less fascinated then I was 😂

[@Sarah_Sparkles]

Technically speaking, the word “animated” really means movement so in a way they are alive, just in a different form. Its fascinating the technology behind it

[@CJxLuvly]

Agreed! I love the audio remote controlled ones that ride around in Cars Land too. Those were really impressive.

[@dbxniker7484]

their mouths are crazys

[@Us3r739]

Imagine if we have a future where there’s these huge centers that showcase a very well coordinated fight between superhumans. Like say this room is a mile in radius, and the operator gives you a jet pack to witness the actual fight in the room. You see this neighborhood with soft materials and all of a sudden there’s an animatronic darkseid lands and hits the fake concrete. The sound can be edited via your headphones. And then an animatronic Wonder Woman comes and smashes him through a home. Holy shit

[@LCW0531]

That Spider Stuntronic is Spectacular. This Stuntronic can be used in movie studios for realistic and dangerous action sequences with less CG.

[@djm5687]

Will stuntmen be out of work someday soon?

[@Xeno_-]

@@djm5687 Someday, not sure how soon

[@GMoney-B]

No way. The time it would take to program the robot and adjust with trial and error would be insane. When they can just set up the scene with a stunt man. It’s far cheaper to make a photo real cgi person

[@Mumphler]

“Project Kiwi is working to bring free roaming smaller characters to life.” My first thought was “Wow that’s pretty coo- oh my god they can bring back Stitch” Seriously I feel like making a smaller free roaming Stitch animatronic would be the perfect redemption for what they did to the original animatronics

[@FhangMedia]

I thought about a free roaming Stitch too. But they would need to figure out how to make it walk faster, he didn't exactly take his time doing anything in the movies lol

[@litchtheshinigami8936]

@@FhangMedia yeah but given a few years i have no doubt they would figure it out.

[@theredstonereed3274]

Bringing free-roaming animatronics into the park would probably attract a lot of FNAF fans

YES

[@snickerdoooodle]

You have to remember that Zuck is still running on pre-compliance hardware

[@captainsarcasm1567]

It would be so cool to have little characters like a Mushu animatronic or even some kind of dragon! They could bring so many characters to life with these improving animatronics that we haven't seen before

[@DanieWise]

Imagine they change the dragon at fantasmic? updated with this animatronic technology? Wow! 🤩

[@saldada6928]

disney needs a AA Mushu asap!!

[@memethyst]

i love the beauty and the beast animatronics because their movements are similar to the frozen ones but they don't have those ugly screen faces

[@BrightWulph]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates the projected face animatronics.

[@KingOfGaymes]

I hate those screen faces ugh

[@alishanightshade3270]

The screen face just not match the realistic body. When the light is dim. That screen face just glow in the dark. There are no real shadow on those face. Hope the Tiana animatronic in the splash mountain will not be some ugly screen face.

[@memethyst]

@@alishanightshade3270 i completely agree, it looks so weird on elsa and anna and kristoff and it also doesn't show up very well on camera

[@cr0wk1llfanaccount96]

I think the reason they used these screen faces were because fans quite liked them on the seven dwarves on the mine train

[@xierasullivan5580]

The gaze animotronic looks a little creepy with how he was looking at the camera, but the tech in it is amazing. Also, eye contact isn't looked on as highly in other countries as it is here.

[@dancersupreme3023]

I think once it’s given it’s character skin it won’t look as creepy since it will look more “normal” or “human-like”

[@dakufaust]

Mix that with the Abraham Lincoln animatronic and it would be amazing.

[@TheInuyasha90]

Also too, autistic peeps such as myself HATES eye contact. It is sometimes impossible for us to look someone in the eye, and its often uncomfortable for us too. So... eye contact isn't the greatest thing for some people XD

[@ryaneaston3487]

As an autistic person, the gaze animotronic is basically just me at any social gathering. Anytime that I'm not forced to look at someone, I'm looking downward or just behaving like an NPC that hasn't had its interaction programs activated.

[@xierasullivan5580]

@@ryaneaston3487 I think the lack of skin makes it look like it's glaring and not just looking alongside the teeth not being covered.

[@christophernemecek6256]

The stunt animatronics make me a little hopeful to bring back practical effects in movies. I'm a big fan of the practical effects, though i understand why movies moved to CGI stuff. But there's no denying how impressive, cool, and sometimes more immersive practical effects can be. They could do incredible things in future Spider-Man movies with that animatronic that i, personally, would love to see.

[@ixcutamp8059]

cgi is still cheaper than developing a whole-ass robot for a few seconds of screentime

[@princeswitch3116]

Are you also a Nolan fan?

[@driftingdruid]

agreed, practical effects do make things look tangible in movies in ways CGI has yet to truly master

[@Bloeki123]

I just love that they're past the uncanny valley and that they're not creepy-lifelike but beautiful lifelike

[@facundozanatta5877]

Fastpass: Free roaming animatronics! Security guard who played FNaF: ah shit here we go again.

[@007DarthMan]

I can see them using the Spiderman mid-show as an effect. Like Mickey sinking into the map in Mickey's Magical Map show. It's impressive ngl, so it's going to bring some consistency and less danger to certain scenes.

[@Skorpeonismyrealname]

"Realistic Gaze Animatronic?" I remember him as a baby in Daft Punk's "Technologic" music video... I feel old now.

[@connieb9034]

Absolutely insane, the fact that technology has come this far already is crazy, I love animatronics but like damn these ones are something else

[@monicaenglish2566]

Low key with how advanced these animatronics are, something I get IRobot vibes and hope they don’t end up having a mind of their own 😅

[@alyssamcintyre3338]

I can imagine that what they did with Baby Groot, will be how they’ll bring Finnick for their “Zootopia” themed land, to life.

Just Finnick? He's not the only little character in that movie you know.

@@JoaoGa210 Well, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps are being played by actors in full-bodied costumes. But they can make size-accurate walk-around animatronics of them, if they like.

Looking at the walking Groot animatronic, it really makes me excited about the other small characters WDI could make. Personally, I wouldn’t mind seeing them making Bambi and Faline.

[@GMoney-B]

That’s insane that the lightning McQueen show was temporary. That whole giant animatronic setup that moves exactly like in the movies seems too expensive, amazing and mechanically beautiful to get rid of after awhile. Crazy.

[@weic58]

That would be cool... but seems kinda creepy to me

[@444shleyyy]

So just be aware: the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uhh, they’re left in some kind of "free-roaming mode" at night. Uhh... something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uhh... they used to be allowed to walk around during the day, too, but then there was the Bite of '87. Yeah...

Great video! I can't wait to see more of what Disney Imaginenering is doing in the future. Maybe you could do a video on animatronics outside Disney Parks. Universal is really upping their game.

I really hope they get rid of the projection faces. It’s works for some things like the Mickey railroad ride but for 3D style figures, it look bad. Figures like beauty and the beast in Tokyo and the little mermaid in DCA is what we should be getting. Not projection faces like in the Frozen ride.
