It's looks amazing. I could see this tech replacing CGI characters in movies in the future. The future of practical effects.

[@planckstudios]

maybe because the motion is so realistic? is anyone impressed w/ static CGI anymore? for decades artists had the materials (stretch fabrics, polymers and foams) to make still sculptures that look this good. It's the movement in a real environment that breaks our brains

[@planckstudios]

@@balsalmalberto8086 standing on the broad shoulders of giants :) It would be beautiful, if in our future, the genius of Disney artists were considered practical. Disney parks have the infrastructure to maintain high tech equipment. The massive costs of these robots is offset by using them daily. (well built machines also run better when used regularly) For this to be 'practical' it would need a lifespan 1000x longer than the weeks of filming an actor/GCI might encounter

Anna’s thawing, while impressive, isn’t the first time they did this. I guarantee you that they used the same techniques to showcase the Beast turning back to his human form in the Beauty and the Beast ride. The method visually looks kind of familiar. And there’s nothing wrong with that! It’s an excellent technique to use for rides

[@rando_calrissian]

This is actually a less advanced effect than Beauty and the Beast, I actually got the chance to ride Beauty and the Beast in Tokyo last Fall. The frozen Anna just a projection over a figure, the same technology they used for the "faces" on the Epcot version of the ride. Granted, the defrosting effect is of the most well-timed and effective projections in the world, but the Beast's transformation literally has him float up and completely change form right before your eyes. This is done with maybe projections but primarily Pepper's Ghost. There's a hidden pane of glass over the scene, and an animatronic of the Beast is reflected on the glass, giving him the illusion of being in the scene, when he's actually slightly out of view. A bright flash occurs, and a previously obscured animatronic of the Prince is revealed at the same time they transition off the Pepper's Ghost. It's a much more complicated effect, that wasn't needed for Frozen since Anna doesn't actually change shape. There probably isn't a pane of glass in the Frozen ride

Mixing animation with animatronics is mind blowing to me. It's amazing. The only thing that makes me concerned is the amount of tear and wear the silicone will go through from constant use. But I'm not an expert, so I bet the imagineers will deal with it.

[@PKLuver944]

That's what I worry about too. All those parts that move independently are going to be shifting very often, it seems. We'll find out the results in a year after opening, I guess!

[@Artistoh14]

Im worried Especially for the cloth on the crocodile, it looks like it can easily wear and tear around the neck area

[@balsalmalberto8086]

Repair seems like pain the arrrse. The complexity.. A whole ride will be down for repairs. I could see them cutting corners making them easier to produce and repair.

[@kaijuguy19]

I can now only imagine how we could possible see the next wave of animatronics being like the A1000 animatronics that also have the Free Roaming technology built into them. If that wouldn't be taking immersion to another level I don't know what will. Especially if they also have working AI that can interact with people with their respective personalities.

😍 Amazing! Now the biggest step up for them is making fully animated emotions in the face.

[@Spaceisprettybig]

Many of these are just show pieces created for investors, which will see their more ambitious features stripped from final release. As for some of the more restrained models, having been on the Tiana ride, the detailed actions of the animatronics quickly lose their novelty when they're fundamentally just standing still, swinging their arms aimlessness, and bleating out generic declarations about how happy they are to see you; all while never breaking from their plastered on smile because, god forbid, a child be exposed to a greater range of emotion than seemingly drug induced glee.

I cannot say I'm the biggest fan of Disney nowadays, but this evolution of the animatronics is remarkable. I was watching a video about the Abraham Lincoln animatronic at the 1964 World Fair, and was astonished that something like that could be pulled off at the time. Most animatronics until now, obviously still looked very robotic in movement and expression, but now? 60 years later? When seeing the more stylized characters, I was having a difficult time telling if I was looking at something computer generated or something real. In time, I could see these eventually replacing some of the creepier costumed characters at parks and actually interacting with guests.

The new animatronic look amazing. Though I will point out the advantage of projection-mapped ones in terms of expression and "acting".
