History of Disney Audio Animatronics

[@annawinn6175]

Really impressed you were able to make this Sarah considering your phobia. Well done a very informative video.

[@Thingamavlogs]

Aw thank you!

[@roycem4945]

I believe the Frozen (time 3:14) audio-animatronic figures "AA" are not A100 series -- they are the new "all electric" - (the older ones like the A100 witch in the Great Movie Ride -- had used either hydraulic or pneumatic) ---

[@SpookyFXdotCom]

First Disney prop animation control systems (movement syc recording and playback) were mechanical not electronic. They were disks that turned like records on a record player and used a follower arm to ride along the disk edge. They would cut valleys in the disk and the follower arm would move in and out sending this moment to the animated prop. In the early years of the Halloween animated prop industry we called them clicker boxes. See here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ6UdnlvhciMi7M

I love watching old footage of imagineers at work. It's amazing how far we've come from singing birds and tikis. Though I still enjoy the charm of Tiki Room to this day. The Dole Whip definitely helps too.

[@mirandaperry1889]

I'm surprised you were able to put so many cool clips in this despite your phobia lol but this video was SO WELL DONE and I learned a bunch and you always amaze me with how much research you do Sarah

[@danslife6785]

Wow! The animatronics with projected faces are truly something else! I've notices Animatronics (mostly in non-disney parks) to be a bit still and abrupt- but these looks incredibly fluid!

[@WildOhana]

I loved this video so much, and would like to see more of its kind on your channel.

[@Thingamavlogs]

Noted!

[@WhitneyPelayo]

I absolutely LOVE when you do Disney History videos!! They are my favorite, just like Down to Disness. So much awesome information that I would have never known! You allow me to be that snarky~smarty girl at Disneyland with family and friends saying, " Did you know..." LOL! PS- Props on making a video that gives you the creepies! 👍🏻

[@brandon.mcpherson]

whitney pelayo lol I totally agree! Her Disney history videos are some of my favorites!

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Animatronics are so freaking awesome

[@heartlest7763]

Edward Sanchez Productions Yes they are!

[@jakinneverland3922]

Great informative video Sarah! I low key think its super funny that you did this particular subject =p Great job really!

[@sadiegreenberg2572]

I really loved this video, I find the histroy behind audio anamatronics so interesting. So cool.

[@MariesNotes]

Sarah I really appreciate the effort you put into the research for these videos - on your personal channel too. They're always so interesting!

[@alexandermackay9636]

I think this is the most informative video you guys have ever produced- I love it! Sarah was this a challenge to conquer your fears or was it easy to do from the safe distance of your computer?

[@itsemilylol]

Amazing that you did this video, Sarah. Well done!

[@brynnjulson6653]

This must've been hard, Sarah. Lol, but I really do appreciate all of the research you put into all of your videos. You have like the perfect voice for this kind of video, too! :)

[@katylrp]

I love Thingamavlogs! I just discovered this channel the other day and I love the content on here - especially the D23 Expo videos - ah, the memories! I can't wait to see what kind of videos you post for this year's Expo! I also totally wish I could be one of your video people - I have shared KZbin channel with my best friend, and I would LOVE to be able to share some of my overflowing Disney knowledge with a greater audience!

[@RPena98]

This video was so cool! I'm loving this week's theme!

[@emmalouise8001]

Got a feeling Sarah made this to try get over her fear 😀👍🏻

[@Thingamavlogs]

Haha. Despite my fear, I find the history fascinating and it was so important to Walt. I love it :)

[@alexandragblessing]

This is so informative and well put together. Thanks, Sarah! :)

[@janetnicole888]

Loved this video, Sarah! So interesting and informative.

[@brandon.mcpherson]

This must have been a nightmare to edit Sarah! It's really cool to see the progress of audio animatronics and how they've been implemented into so many different Disney projects!

[@DeenaTheCat]

nice! I learned tons from this! also, Super awesome you did this even though you don't like animatronics at all! very brave of you!

[@ashaus14]

I know this comment is a little late to the game but I'm pretty sure that the Frozen animatronics are the first ones that use electronic movements (don't know the exact term) instead of hydrolics! It helps them move a lot smoother but I think it took a while for engineers to get the system small enough to fit in the allowed space. My favorite animatronics are definitely Lumiere from Enchanted Tales with Belle and the first Jack Sparrow you see in Shanghai POTC (although that's probably more effects than the actual animatronic but still)!

[@fidingdisneyfindingdisney8646]

Really interesting video Sarah. You have got a great way of explaining subjects :)

[@katiaivanov9817]

I love Disney history videos like this! :)

[@grangerdisney4290]

I loved this video soo much. Please do more like this!

[@chantressjinxie]

Loved this! You guys should do more like this 😁

[@kahaku808]

So cool! Would've loved to ride that Wizard of Oz attraction.

[@Thingamavlogs]

It's still at Hollywood Studios...at least for now!

[@amusementparktours24]

Cool video! I love going to Disney.

[@AnderswohinReisen]

awesome video. Thank you

[@GingerTyPerior]

I love this! Thank you!

[@teamsyd]

The first thing I thought when I saw this video is that I am so proud of Sarah for making it because she animatronics are one of her biggest fears. 😂 But the video was very educational and I loved it.

[@Thingamavlogs]

Haha it was so hard!!!! - Sarah

[@carloaircardinale]

This was so cool!

[@SEJ101]

I got more out of this than One Man's Dream... thanks Sarah!

[@Thingamavlogs]

High praise!

[@airquoteawesome]

awesome video!

[@Stereo6400]

Great job getting over your fear. I hope you know... FNAF isn’t real Chuck E. Cheese is all fake There is nothing to be afraid of You made this video, you are so brave! Great work! Have a wonderful day and rest of your life!

[@joshuapage8034]

Nice Work!!!

[@jay8832]

Freakin awesome video!!! 💚

[@Dizyland_]

Oh boy. This was probably terrifying making this video 😆

[@miss-megative2683]

Sarah I am shocked to see this video from you! Lol

[@CarlisleFanpire]

Just imagine if the face projections in the Frozen ride failed. You would see creepy faceless figures that look like they're directly out of a Doctor Who episode lol

[@AngelaCrafts]

So exited I love this video bc I'm going to Disney!!!😂💕💕💕💕

[@hbshined]

THIS IS SOOO COOL...what about ben franklin in the hall of presidents?? he walked lol

[@carolineellis6459]

I saw the title of this video and I thought "Isn't Sarah afraid of animatronics?"

[@larissaoliver398]

Hi, I'm doing research into this sort of thing for uni, would you be able to put up the sources you used for information at all? If not, don't worry, as this was an incredibly useful video! Many thanks!

[@Mickey784cr]

That Avatar one dives straight into the Uncanny Valley for me. 😨

[@lesleygoat4321]

Facing fears in 2017

[@gourmet2276]

so interesting.

[@ParadoxFreak]

I wonder how many of the Enchanted Tiki Room birds are original..

[@Moonfire121]

I find it kind of ironic how Sarah's doing this video, lol.

[@akiaeki]

Mary Poppins came up with Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious.

[@jayswayvlogs_1014]

I love Disney Animatronics 💃

[@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY]

i don't have a fear of animatronics :)

[@kitteridgesimpson8144]

I'm surprised you could do this. You're scared of animatronics

[@kitteridgesimpson8144]

Also, the ways you said "tech week" shall make any theatre student groan

[@Thingamavlogs]

LOL didn't even think of that

[@katiaivanov9817]

Kiersten Simpson OMG I thought of like theatre tech week too😂😂cried a little LOL

[@grangerdisney4290]

I was just about to say that...

[@romywhite290]

When Patrick said it in the previous vid it gave me the same reaction. And my BA in Tech Theatre groans with you. Though I love when things start falling into place.

[@eduardofigueroa1880]

did Adam Lee die

[@raesterling]

Is there going to be a behind the scenes video of you crying while googling these clips? ;)

[@kaitlynwhalen5961]

Robots were invented in 1954 and animatronics were invented in 1964.

[@SweetLilHunnyBee]

What would happen if a face projection isn't working? Would that animatronic not have a face? O-O creepiest Anna or Elsa anyone would see. Lmao

[@Thingamavlogs]

Lol yes exactly. There are some videos on KZbin of Elsa's face glitching. I'm sure they shut down the ride when that happens.

[@philipdefibaugh7127]

I don't like the projections on the face animatronics. They look better sculpted and cast in silicone. The projections are a lazy way to do it.

[@blaisewinterhalter2758]

Why aren't you showing your face? Your anxiety isn't that bad is it?

[@Thingamavlogs]

Just didn't have the time to do my makeup yesterday. If it were my anxiety though, don't you think this comment would be a little harsh?

[@blaisewinterhalter2758]

Sarah, I would never say anything to hurt you because I have such a HUGE respect for you and if it came across that way I am SO SO SO SO sorry. I am worried however because you do have a very social life and i hope your anxiety doesn't affect your KZbin carrier. If you are doing well then that is awesome and i hope you make even better videos in the future!!!!!!!!!:):):)
