Mister Bob was the artist who did my first ever silhouette last year. He is so talented and he made my experience magical! Truly a Disneyland treasure. Thank you Mister Bob for all that you do!

[@TopangaParra]

Bob did all my kids silhouettes at the same age. He’s amazing! I’ll forever cherish those and they are placed on a wall where I will see them every single day.

[@jocelynschneider1240]

This pair was an absolute hoot. Such genuine laughter with these two.

[@BrittanyLJMundy]

These two were magic together, had me smiling ear to ear!

[@lestatsluver666]

May this talent never be lost to the Disney parks…it really is amazing

[@FunAtDisney]

BOB emulates Disney Magic! The fact that you can get a framed silhouette for less than a fancy popcorn bucket is a bargain and a treasure you will keep for years. I highly recommend for parents to do this when your kids are young!

[@jacqueline5156]

Where is this at in disneyland?

[@FunAtDisney]

@@jacqueline5156 On Main Street . Going towards the castle it will be on the right side after the Disney Clothier shop.

[@KensanOni]

This is why learning your contours in art class is so important. Raevon, you were so brave giving a shot and you are a joy. Thank you for trying. Also mad respects to Bob, who does so many of these it makes my head spin. You are a hero.

[@RaechelSykes]

We love you Bob ❤❤❤❤ You make Disneyland great!

[@user-oz8lv4eo8h]

OMG They both seem like they are so much fun. Thank you both for everything you do. Disney knew what they were doing when they hired you. Thank you for sharing the joy.

[@kristymunson5967]

We love to have our kids' silhouettes done at Disney Parks! We had them done every time we went to Disneyland, or WDW, as they grew up. I treasure those silhouettes, as our kids are now in their 30's. They still get their silhouettes done when in the parks, along with our grandchildren. We learned that we liked to remember which artist did them, so started having them sign their work. Each artist has been so kind, .and excellent at their craft.

[@juanhilario1821]

He did mine and my gfs silhouette last year!! We told him we enjoyed camping and he told us all the places he camped at

[@thedroesslers]

The silhouette of our kids is my favorite WDW souvenir. It is such as classic treasure. Great Cast Member interview.

[@ricketts0]

I love these CM features! As a veterinarian, would love to see a feature on one of the security dogs!

[@TeamDisney24]

Raevon's dog silhouette looked like Jar Jar Binks! Bob is amazing. Truly skilled. I need to get one of those next Disney trip.

[@dfidtv]

We love the Silhouette Artists at Disneyland! BIG BIG shout out to JAN! We absolutely LOVE her and visit her every time we go to the parks! ❤❤ River and his mom

[@christywilson2209]

Mr. Bob did our daughter's silhouette last summer. It was our first trip to Disneyland. ❤

[@EclipesEscape]

I can’t wait to feel the magic of Disneyland on Sunday!! ❤❤

[@rinawalter5402]

Great job Raevon! He truly shares his magic in every silhouette ❤❤

[@terrirobinson3876]

I could watch Bob and Raveon do this all day. Such a fun video.

[@JasminRain]

Bob did an incredible portrait of my dog & I, he’s awesome! So happy Disney is spotlighting such a talented, kind person 💜

[@luzarredondo23]

That same guy did my silhouette portrait at Disneyland 10 years ago!! He’s the best!! ❤❤❤❤

[@Jafinamore]

This mans wonderful art hangs in my home!

[@solluna80]

Just met him for the first time at my sister in laws reception in Seal Beach. He is also Santa Claus at Disneyland..such a great guy! Hi Bob!

[@PrinceMarc22]

What a talented gentleman. He reminds me of the late and great animator, Burny Madison.

[@user-jn7nv8cw2r]

Omg I wanna fly to California just to meet this man

[@TheoTheTimeTravelingMagician]

Yes!!

[@MichaelIanWright]

This made my morning!

[@dndyboyseungmin]

I love them both! What a fun video!

[@What_the_Pell]

Super fun video! I love these behind the scenes and even more so loved the vibe and energy between these two. They clearly had fun and love being there

[@70sDanibyrd]

My kiddo got her first silhouette this year and she did great! Everyone was so sweet and watching the artist work was amazing! I remember I had my first silhouette done in 1997 when I was 7 years old ❤

[@sidneedenman3798]

What a cute experience! 🥰

[@MsDisneylandlover]

I will be at Disneyland in October ❤

[@taylorhulitt5886]

Best one yet!!! Raevon you are such an engaging host!!!💖💖💖

[@user-jn7nv8cw2r]

He is so good. Petition to move the series to Disney+

[@dougcargill6730]

My parents got silhouettes of me and my two younger brothers in 1971. Even though I was quite young, I remember it completely. Afterwards, for a treat, all three of us were taken across Main Street to get turtles at the confectionery All three of them are still hanging on the wall opposite my dad’s office in their home.

[@jeffreycroteau3544]

I painted your marquee sign out front as a sign shop cast member back in the day, retired now.

[@jayfirstguessedit]

This was the best way to start my morning ✨‼️ what a fun video

[@BarbaraHarrington-p6g]

Disneyland ❤❤❤ Great job Raevon! Fun video & great interview !

[@TheTTATravelers]

Our most loved Disney memories live in the for of a silhouette. We have one done every year from when our daughter was born 2010, then added our son in 2013 and we have nails in our dinning room in place till they are both 18. it makes us happy.

[@StrongMoustachio]

I just had one made of my dog on Sunday! It’s so cute! ❤

[@Douglas-1994]

So awesome to see a former Ambassador

[@ephemerabluetit335]

The BEST souvenir!!

[@Matt_Hatt3r]

This was such a fun episode!!! Those artists are SOOOO talented!!

[@averyeml]

These videos are rapidly becoming some of my favorite out there. Raevon’s a big ball of sunshine (I get it, this would be the coolest random job opportunity on top of being a cast member which is already awesome) and Bob’s hilarious, and we get a glimpse into jobs that aren’t necessarily backstage, but often overlooked in the same way. More things like this, always! 💙💙💙

[@user-qo6du4hc4w]

I will go to Disneyland, July 27, and I might see Bob

[@marieyoung9169]

This put a smile on my face! Thank you for sharing.

[@MyMomentswithMom]

💞💞 The "DYNAMIC DUO" This video was great!! So entertaining. Bob is an amazing artist! These two are so funny together. 😀😀

[@ebonyedwards3740]

Hi bob

[@better2bkind]

More of them! So uplifting!!!

[@dumbo2207]

Love you Bob!

[@friedallie]

That was so cute! Watched with a smile right below my treasured silhouette from Disneyland!

[@jeffsobey7380]

Shout out to Bonnie, she silhouette cut dozens of characters for me over the years. They are my favorite gift for family and friends. Hope she is enjoying her retirement!

[@g351]

They have great chemistry. Give them a Disney DIY show.

[@archiechoke23]

So fun. I still have one from when I was a kid.

[@Bug715]

Amazing behind the scenes look as always Raevon!

[@Sean-1971]

Behind the scenes of fantasmic at Hollywood studios

[@nichole112]

This is fantastic! I love seeing the fun with Cast Members! They make the experience EVERYTHING, at the parks!!! We had them done as children and actually now that I think about it, we will be at WDW next weekend, so I think we will have our families done then! Absolutely love it! Keep bringing the fun and magic Disney! 💫 🏰 💖

[@charleshamilton9274]

This made me so happy! Thanks!

[@DeanAndEmma]

Hey Bob! 👋

[@user-jn7nv8cw2r]

PEPPER!!!!

[@lauren8836]

love Bob. He alays made me laugh whenever I was silhouette greeter.

[@wonggies]

I love you both! so hysterical!

[@themackshack9140]

Too bad we never got a video like this for Maynard from the Tiki Room or Farley the Fiddler. Fond memories with both of them! But Bob seems amazing as well; these long-time cast members are the hidden gems of the park

[@jason262800]

Such a great story!

[@vegansarabeth]

What a fun video! Raevon and Bob are both treasures

[@pazzariatv]

Wow. What the roles would I like to see? That's an incredible question. I suppose, if I had to pick.... I was always fascinated with the presidents and vice presidents of the parks. How do they do their day to day roles? How do they run such incredible and dynamic places, all while staying sane, lol? A wonderful series would be to go through each park, around the globe, and do a video on their perspectives and how they handle it all.

[@KaiyaKramer]

Really enjoyed this !

[@MsDisneylandlover]

I never did this before maybe I will. ❤

[@gymnastgirlflips]

This was amazing. Thank you guys so much for doing this. I was smiling the whole time and loved how happy you both were!

[@bzydad]

See you in October Bob,need to find out my good side is.

[@Helloitsme-vt5hq]

Hi bobbb :D

[@WafflesX3XD]

aw they seem so cheerful !! genuinely lovely fellas, no wonder they fit the job so well~!

[@lotsalatte]

Can this be an ongoing series? I love Raevon! Also, Bob is amazing! This is my dream job :)

[@LostGirlJessie]

This was great! ❤️

[@lynnstone6998]

❤

[@TheoTheTimeTravelingMagician]

This is GREAT! ❤

[@artist_milagro]

Love this! I can’t wait to watch more of this series, I would like to learn more about the sketch artist role at the Disneyland Resort!😊💖

[@MichaelIanWright]

Bob is a legend! He did my dog from a picture and did an amazing job!

[@guinealove.986]

This was wonderful.

[@soitsmelaura]

Loved this vid!

[@YouN0who]

Loved this! It'd be great to learn more about the piano players on Main Street & the candy / candied apple makers.

[@keleeshamarley7178]

This is amazing Raevon! This was a cool interview! I love it!

[@tamaraelaineparrett8738]

So fun! Thanks for being all of us, Raevon! 😊

[@tonya8761]

Great video I would love to see more of these. I would love to see things like: takes to become a face character, a Jungle Cruise skipper, and a butler at the Haunted Mansion, and the interworking of Fantasmic

[@charless.sturdivant]

💜💜💜💜

[@ScottKraft]

Fun! I'd like to see Jungle Cruise behind the scenes! What happens in the boat house?

[@erinmalone2669]

Does he do this freehand without tracing? That would be amazing.

[@lovepooh2965]

i wanna meet Mr bob. 😆❤

[@sarahmyers4810]

Will i can’t wait to get to stand still before someone is making of my picture

[@MsDisneylandlover]

Please do the character and fireworks

[@AnnaizzaGuerrero-e9y]

How do I apply for a job like this

[@averyeml]

So why make the paste like that, instead of just using plain ol’ commercially available glue? What’s the benefit?

[@TanyaOsterman-hw9wv]

Disney: pay your cast members better!

[@MsDisneylandlover]

Rae got the best job ❤😊 #DisneyDiva ❤

[@thedearleader7054]

Will Bob be unionizing on you too? 🤣😂🤣
