Robotisia Walt Disney?

It was established in the context of the 70th anniversary of Disneyland California, “The first audio animatomic figure of Walt Disney, ever created” is located in the center of a new show under the name “Walt Disney: Magic Life.”

The robotic approach of Walt Disney speaks, with the words emanating from the recording of the real Walt Disney.

As indicated in Disney parks The blog, the show is “a great opportunity to remind visitors of the incredible story of Walt Disney – told by his own words – both in the film and thanks to the magic of audio -animatronics, forms of art that he pioneer.”

See the first images and sounds of the animatron figure below:

It looks pretty impressive, but not everyone is excited by this copy.

Last month, we mentioned Disney’s granddaughter Joanna Miller, condemned the creation – characterizing this “inhumanly.”

In an interview with Los Angeles Times, Miller expressed pain as soon as she saw a mechanical figure: “I think I started to cry”He said. “I was not like me”Field

When the project was announced for the first time last year, Miller expressed concern in a letter to the managing director of Disney, Bob AigerAnd then he met him with some of the members who participated in the creation of attractiveness.

Miller told Iger that she greatly felt that for visitors “the last two minutes with a robot would bring much more harm than the benefits of her heritage”, adding that people ”They will remember the robot, not a person. “

Although Iger was allegedly “very kind”, her appeal to the abolition of the robot was ultimately ignored.

Miller also spoke on a post on Facebook in November last year, describing the idea of a “Graba robot” as a bad service for a real Disney, who loved to personally welcome visitors to the park.

“You could never take care of his speech, the interaction with the camera, (or) his enthusiasm to show and tell people about what is new in the park,” Miller wrote. “You cannot add life to an empty soul or substance.”

“Walt Disney: Magic Life” will open its gates in Disneyland, California, July 17.
