true. i dont got submechanophobia but the thought of those freaky looking abandoned animatronics near me freak me out, like, what if it started moving or grabbed my ankle? F U C K T H A T N O I S E
It's kinda sad honestly, the thing just sits there rotting completely abandoned in a pitch black cave. I know it's just an object but it still is depressing to think about.
Sc0rp10n at 0:34. the animatronic was a sea serpent designed for the ride rendition of 20,000 leagues under the sea, based off the book of the same name. when the ride was closed, the submarine voyage portion was enclosed in concrete and abandoned for years. hardly anything was demolished, just left there rotting for years. until the day the attraction was drained, in which various imagineers took in the damaged props.
I don't think it's really the fact that they're animatronics in water that scares me. It's the fact I'm scared of being in the water, and seeing monsters. Or big animals in general. I feel vulnerable.
Submechanophobia is my #1 phobia. I have some stories that sparked this fear in me. When I was little, I went on the jaws ride at universal studios, when I leaned over and looked down into the water I could see a bunch of different shark heads throughout the water and I almost had a heart attack imagining if I fell in and one of those shark heads touched me 😭😭😭 When I was on my friends boat as a kid, I was sitting on the back of it and kinda belly flopped into the water - my feet went back and touched the propeller under the boat. (It was off, thank god) but it made me feel sick to my stomach. I also used to be TERRIFIED to swim in a pool if the vacuum was at the bottom. It gave me such an uneasy, anxious feeling knowing that little robot was under my feet. I’ve also had many nightmares of being in the water and coming across and sunken ship or something freaky like these videos. It makes my chest tight and my stomach turn. I used to think I was the ONLY person who felt this way and never knew there was a name for it until a few years ago! This phobia is very real. 😰😰😰
Imagine this You fall out of the ride, nobody notices, you try to swim back up, but you notice the animatronic, your leg is stuck, you scream, but nobody hears you, the last things you ever see are the beasts eyes, staring at you as it fades to black.....
@@averagedragon3314 Then you ask the doctor "what's ligma doctor?" After that the doctor looked down and he laughed? Then he said "LICK MY BA-" all the suddenly he disappeared from existing and you woked up and realize that it was all an dream. You quickly have checked your leg and then your eyes have winded in shock that your leg was cutted and you have now realized that I wasn't a dream and it was all REAL.
@@KATI_zrp you then wake up and realise your still in the murky,dark water and swim up to gasp for air but feel like something's moving in the water,you then slowly look down and see the massive sea serpent swimming right below you,you can't see it too well because the murky water...
Same tho, they all look so cool and I’d love to swim by the dinosaur ones made for the Jurassic Park rides . I know it’s on a not safe bc electrocution but still, worth it.
To me, the only ones that kinda get to me are the ones that are abandoned or just aren't in good shape. Abandoned stuff in general gives off an eerie feeling already, so pair it with uncanny animatronics and nasty water and you get yourself a one-way ticket to nightmare alley.
Lepsonical the Disney ones aren’t the scariest because they are in good condition. Atleast for me. If it doesn’t seem like it exists and it seems like it has a human face it freaks me out
Yeah o definitely have to agree in my mind the most terrifying thing I can imagine is that giant whale at 0:30 being at an abandoned water amusement park just waiting i dont know what it does to me it is terrifying.....
i have a weird thing about this kinda stuff most animatronics dont bother me, im terrified of ones that look human and when it comes to under water ones i dont really care, but if i was in the water and/or could see their innner workings(wires tethers and what not) then id be scared
Not neccesarily scared of it, it's just that it always looks so dirty and offputting. All of the animatronics look so dingy and worn down and I can just imagine how disgusting all of that water is, those thoughts make my skin crawl.
My god dude. Imagine getting trapped underground in the dark with the serpent at 0:39 and accidentally swallowing some water while trying to swim up 🤮🤮🤮🤢
Then you get creeped out by the fact that the animatronics, which once had life, are abandoned and neglected - also makes you all depressed but freaked af
The thing that scares me is what's under the murky water, gears and cogs and mechanisms. What if you were near an abandoned one and some slip moved some of the mechanical pieces or a surge caused it to move it and you get stuck either slightly or fully submerged, you are going to drown but as you do you stare at the nightmarish broken down creature.
i am ALWAYS scared of falling over in log flume rides and into the water , and just for good measure i sit in the middle so nothing can grab me from behind or pull me over the top 😌
gumbo chumbo There’s two sea serpents. One was auctioned off and the other is still left abandoned :( one was from Submarine Voyage and one was from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea
@@thisisaprettylongnameifyou8195 the fact that one of them was left abandoned is what scares me most, it was scary in the first place man and now it's been left to _decay-_
I always had this kind of aversion to shiny, Plastic surfaces, specifically on dolls, it just gives me the impression of them being all greasy and sticky.
imagine going to a park, and theres an animatronic, not only almost completely submerged in the water. BUT IT SHOOTS WATER AT YOU. AND YOU CAN H E A R THE GEARS GRINDING AS IT SHOOTS WATER AT YOU. ITS DECAYED AND ALMOST THE THE POINT OF SNAPPING OFF OF ITS STRUCTURE AND FALLING INTO THE WATER. i honestly want to cry. EEEEEEEEE THINKING ABOUT THIS HURTS MY SOULLLLL
One of my greatest fears is falling into the water with an animatronic, (like the shark from the jaws ride as an example) and feeling all the gears and tracks in the water without being able to see them. It’s strange but it absolutely terrifies me and makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. It’s also why I hate boat rides
This is a weird fear I’ve always had too - I can’t explain it but the idea of touching those things sends me and the tracks underneath? X10 more terrifying for some reason. Maybe it’s because I’m afraid of being caught in it somehow? Jaws ride especially terrifies me when they had the mouth bit that didn’t look quite right.
Imagine being ripped apart by the gears and there's no way out. The last thing you see is it sharp teeth, racing towards you as your bones crumble under the water, making the water red, staining the shark with your blood.
That sea serpent. 1 of 2. He's a lucky one! Theres another whos rotting away, lost his head the poor thing. It would've been amazing if he were put out on display.
I cannot believe after almost 20 whole years of frequently going to disney world and feeling unusually unnerved by the animatronics in the water I'm now finally finding out it was not just me and this actually has a name and there is a video about it. This is so satisfying but also so creepy at the same time.
The name was made up by some dude on Reddit, you'll never find any significant other who understands your incredibly fringe and irrational fear, and most of these are unsettling simply due to the exposure, contrast, framing, and focusing of the image. If an image/video is unfocused and slightly blurry with flat contrast and bad exposure, it comes across as unsettling. Now if you are legit scared of under water robots I'm surprised you made it this far. Just remember guns may make you feel powerful, but they are powerless underwater. Much like you.
Alieninport907 i totally understand this fear? i’ve had it for nearly as long as i’ve known animatronics can work in water, and it’s not just these images that creep me out. even visiting places such as disney world/land that have water animatronics, which are perfectly happy, wholesome places, i still get incredibly anxious around water animatronics and animatronics in general. hell, even the giant lego serpent that’s hanging out in a body of water at the disney shopping sector makes my skin crawl. i’m uncertain if its the uncanny valley or if i’m just weird, but phobias are literally meant to be irrational. thats what makes it a phobia. i’m just glad to know i’m not alone in having this fear.
The thing is, submechanophobia is not the fear of animatronics underwater. It’s the fear of man made objects partially or fully underwater. If you’re just scared of animatronics underwater I don’t think you really have submechanophobia because that’s just not what it really is. If you can look at a picture of a buoy or a sunken plane and be uncomfortable then fair play, but if it’s just these absurd animatronic pictures then that’s just not right. Anyone would be creeped out by these.
Яee Яee theres a difference between “being creeped out” and having an actual phobia. the fear of underwater animatronics is a part of the submechnaphobia sphere, because its a ‘’manmade object underwater”. statues, large objects, AND animatronics all make me incredibly anxious. i know i cannot go scuba diving because i would have a panic attack if i saw a sunken ship or something similar. i only zeroed in on animatronics because thats what this video is about. gatekeeping a phobia because ‘everyone would be creeped out by these photos’ isn’t okay.
Fun fact: on the original Jaws ride at Universal Park in Orlando, one passenger on the ride fell into the water next to the animatronic shark, and claims he saw the shark coming towards him. He was fine, but sued Universal. As it turns out, someone has ended up in the water with one of these things.
Quartz's Arts someone wrote a creepypasta about the shark biting someone based off of the guy that fell in, but yeah there were real shark teeth on the animatronic sharks
Personally I think these are cool as hell, making an animatronic is a tricky enough thing to get down but to make one that functions under water is pretty damn rad
I don’t have submechchanophobia but I do have thalassophobia and that mucky blue tint and that light shining from above gave me chills down my spine. it’s insane how damaged such beloved things can get at the point they’re completely different.
I really find these creepily interesting, y'know? I personally don't have this fear but like, it's just interesting to know that at the bottom of some body of water theres a rotting metal machine which once entertained, is now completely forgotten and alone.
I don’t find the animatronics scary, it’s more like the fact that they’re all old n decaying and that the waters probably rank and full with the waste from the machine
@@anarchyalien2279 yeah somebody fell in then the robotic shark came after him 😂 tbh if that happened to me this will happen Me: *falls in and sees the shark coming towards me* Mom: are you okay? Me: *Soul has left the Chat* My brother: 😎🍿
this just makes me feel like the animatronic / object will go faulty and drag me in. even just looking at them feels like at any moment they'll move. I think i just found my new fear
dude i love this video so much, you really don't know. i watch this video daily and everytime i wake up in the morning all i can think about is watching this. Thank you for bringing Submechanophobia into my life. I think this particular phobia is really interesting and i'm loving it.
I find it more scary when they look less realistic and you can see all the gears and sharp edges in the rough shape of an animal just imagine a giant bear trap mouthed eel covered in kelp swimming towards you
This really is just fascinating to me because I have a deep love and respect for Audio Animatronics and the idea of ones being able to be submerged in water is just fascinating. I love how the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea animatronic of the kraken looks and it's rich history is just amazing. While I can understand the fear people might have this is just to me an amazing piece of human technology. It's really disheartening to see that some of these animatronics have been lost to time and not well preserved. The history of The Enchanted Tiki Room's first audio animatronic to this is amazing!
Same, they're so cool and I'd love to learn more about them. I also have a morbid fascination with old and abandoned pieces of human technology and animatronics are the pinnical of that.
This is one of the many copies of this animatronic, I'm not sure which one this is but this animatronic is a bunyip ( I think that what they are called ) btw they have names, this one is either Bertha or Bert.
TBH the noise they make is worse, look them up, there tons of videos. Side note: these animatronics are still up today, you can find them in places like Murray bridge
It will be worse if you realize there is an original design for this monster, the original one look like literal real meat and teeth. So they decide to change it into a more "kid friendly" version.
anyone else kinda miss when this was the meme du jour? idk the timing was great, it was cathartic giving myself anxiety over something in 2020 that wasn't something legitimately dangerous that probably came out wrong but submechanophobia stuff oddly helped me cope with the shitshow that was 2020
0:44 man this dude be missing out on all the Chinese new years Edit: For those unaware: This is the billabong bunyip at Aussie's Big Banana park. The first time I saw him he reminded me of a Chinese dragon, and he kinda looked like he was an abandoned submerged animatronic left to rot on a beach. He cool doe.
I always think when im on a boat with my family, that theres like a lochness thing half sleeping on the bottom and when you get in the water it awakes😰🦑🐉🦴
the thought of the creaking metal sounds and garbled voice-boxes of (especially abandoned/old) animatronics that are absolutely not supposed to be in water..... i swear i can smell the decay
I just imagine swimming in a lake and not knowing it use to have a history of being a defunct lake ride, when all of a sudden you somehow activate an animatronic that was left sunken in the dark waters for so long where no one had known it was there. All of a sudden you are being dragged in to the filthy water by sharp rusty cranks, arms, and gears, hearing them turn and shakily work to drag you to your doom…
To me, they're really not that scary when you look at them in a picture or video, it's only scary when you really imagine yourself in that situation with them... being in the same water with those things, virtually just beneath your feet underwater, almost waiting for you to eventually dive in and witness them. It's even worse when you accidently brush your toes against them, because you have no idea what it is, and so you freak out and rush to shore. Or even when you just stare down into the water and see them faintly in the blurry water, deep down, just sitting at the bottom. Now that's scary.
I liked the footage of the serpent at 0:40, because it looks more alive with its eyes and head moving. But at the beginning... the poor thing looks dead. With the bubbles leaking out of its face and the contracted looking eyes, sitting there completely still... it's sad.
Regarding this, it's more so a fear of accidentally touching something not natural, not knowing what it is and then finding out when you look into the water and it turning out to be a GIGANTIC thing you didn't know was even there to begin with. It's similar to the jumpscare you get when something flies into your face really fast.
Fun fact So the whale animatronic actually malfunctioned (I think) and they had to take it out but when they did it it broke into 5 pieces and it still rests at the bottom today but coverd with mud and other gunk Edit: I was wrong when the park closed it had to be removed but it broke into 4 not 5 pieces so oops my bad
the the bunyip one (the weird looking dragon with giant frills on their head) also probably sunken into the lake, imagine swimming in that lake and you feel something thats feels like metal and look down and see a bunyip
00:30 imagine So you have fallen out of the book you are swimming for safety. And then this giant thing pops up literally inches away from your head. Your foot is a smell it closes your foot is crushed it brings you down and you drown.
It was supposed to be something to make the animatronic "unique"(?) And it has something to do with his personality, basically they created an entire personality for a wet robot, he's supposed to be super dumb but nice XD (it makes me super uncomfy tho- like man those eyes 🤠🔫)
The beginning of this video, with the goofy music playing, felt almost like an old Sesame Street short. Like do you have submechanophobia? Let's find out.

I thought it got destroyed and turned into that ride.
At least it's not in the water anymore. Still utterly terrifying but it's a tiny bit better now.

Lo que me da miedo es que por alguna razón me agarren y me ahogen xd

i fear no man
but that thing 0:35
it scares me
Yeah that is awful. Definitely the worst on this video.
It's called the bunyip at murray bridge (original)
0:35 what is it?
Imagine touching it
Abbey the Cat it a old version of something called the bunyip
Imagine getting your foot caught in a gear at the bottom, nobody would hear you scream...
That makes my think of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland "And no one would hear you SCREAM MUHUHAHA!!!"
H a h a
How about let’s NOT imagine that
lmao
Uhhh god no
Why does the music fit so well
0:40 is my favorite one
It's just aesthetic
Honestly the only ones that actually scare me are the fully submerged ones like the animatronics from Submarine Voyage
I’m mostly scared of Bert the bunyip, the crocodile, and Moby in Pleasure Island.
@@amityzaj I am afraid of bert too
@@amityzaj Are you talking about the Pleasure Island that used to be in Wakefield Massachusetts?
GreenMoonDragon AJ Which one is that?
I'm only scared of the fully submerged ones too, and the ones that look like they're decaying because of the water
Fun fact: on the original Jaws ride at Universal Park in Orlando, one passenger on the ride fell into the water next to the animatronic shark, and claims he saw the shark coming towards him. He was fine, but sued Universal.
As it turns out, someone has ended up in the water with one of these things.
That’s sad.
Atleast he survived.
Oof, I would of been dead
Wait wasnt there an actual death at that jaws ride the one where the shark malfunctioned and the guy died?
Quartz's Arts someone wrote a creepypasta about the shark biting someone based off of the guy that fell in, but yeah there were real shark teeth on the animatronic sharks
Personally I think these are cool as hell, making an animatronic is a tricky enough thing to get down but to make one that functions under water is pretty damn rad
The music just fits flawlessly with the images
The music really makes this worse...
Amazing.
But we vibing tho
I actually like it lol
Its kity city
Much slower than before
Amazing
Welcome to kitty city
What do submechanophobes and most FNAF haters have in common?
They both hate wet robots.
It's not fnaf haters it's spring lock animatronic users
mothman with lamps *FNAF haters, Spring Lock users, and Submechanophobes.
as a former fnaf fan i can confirm i hate wet robots
LGBTQ Wolves Do you have Submechanophobia or do you have submechanophobes locked in your basement?
LMAO WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY AJSKDSAJYDSGGXZNL-
I don’t have submechchanophobia but I do have thalassophobia and that mucky blue tint and that light shining from above gave me chills down my spine. it’s insane how damaged such beloved things can get at the point they’re completely different.
I really find these creepily interesting, y'know? I personally don't have this fear but like, it's just interesting to know that at the bottom of some body of water theres a rotting metal machine which once entertained, is now completely forgotten and alone.
0:47
Parasaur the most innocent dinosaur in the planet :)
I honestly loved this part because I find parasaurs to be cute
FINALLY
They're one of my favorite dinos!
Same
he’s the only one in this video that didn’t make me nearly shit myself lmaoooo
@@BudDinktrap Me too
I don’t find the animatronics scary, it’s more like the fact that they’re all old n decaying and that the waters probably rank and full with the waste from the machine
So basically this picture 0:39
spider man eat a donut.
@@Draftspike spot on
Wait till your stuck in a cage with the old rusty bunyip and it activates while your in the cage
@@ImNotCocogoat i think its an onion ring
I don’t know why but the cross eyed sea serpent reaaally makes me uncomfortable.
imagine being in the water with one of these and then they shortcircuit
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP
Why
It’s all fun and games till you fall into the water
Edit: oh. My. God. TYSM for all the likes
And it activates like in the jaws ride
THE WORLD Didn’t that happen to someone once?
Did it rewly
Nononononononononono-
@@anarchyalien2279 yeah somebody fell in then the robotic shark came after him 😂 tbh if that happened to me this will happen
Me: *falls in and sees the shark coming towards me*
Mom: are you okay?
Me: *Soul has left the Chat*
My brother: 😎🍿
this just makes me feel like the animatronic / object will go faulty and drag me in. even just looking at them feels like at any moment they'll move. I think i just found my new fear
Ooooh it’s gonna come true the screen and grab you oohhhhhhh 👻
@@canttamemeh2180 mr clean be spitting bars
as a person with submechanophobia
i will not sleep for a week
dude i love this video so much, you really don't know. i watch this video daily and everytime i wake up in the morning all i can think about is watching this. Thank you for bringing Submechanophobia into my life. I think this particular phobia is really interesting and i'm loving it.
The fact that welcome to kitty city is playing in the background makes this 10x more terrifying
That’s exactly what I was thinking lol
The shit is real if it is somehow related to Cyriak
I'm not scared of this. Tho
Im fascinated by this.
Edit: is it sad that this is the most liked comment of mine?
Bruh same..
Same, I watched it 3 times for some reason.
Dude seriously. This is so interesting
It’s both for me.
The edge lord team
Im genuinely terrified but im vibing to the music tho
The music is 🔥🔥🔥
The song is welcome to kity city
I find it more scary when they look less realistic and you can see all the gears and sharp edges in the rough shape of an animal just imagine a giant bear trap mouthed eel covered in kelp swimming towards you
This really is just fascinating to me because I have a deep love and respect for Audio Animatronics and the idea of ones being able to be submerged in water is just fascinating. I love how the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea animatronic of the kraken looks and it's rich history is just amazing. While I can understand the fear people might have this is just to me an amazing piece of human technology. It's really disheartening to see that some of these animatronics have been lost to time and not well preserved. The history of The Enchanted Tiki Room's first audio animatronic to this is amazing!
They're soulless machines
sen3.14 So? There still cool and have a rich history
I Just like abandoned things they are facisnating
I hate them because they scare the living hell out of me but i agree, they have quite the history.
Same, they're so cool and I'd love to learn more about them. I also have a morbid fascination with old and abandoned pieces of human technology and animatronics are the pinnical of that.
0:51 you can’t tell me that isn’t horrifying, i want to rip my eyes out
it makes it worse that the water was polluted and the animatronic was dying slowly imo 😔
This is one of the many copies of this animatronic, I'm not sure which one this is but this animatronic is a bunyip ( I think that what they are called )
btw they have names, this one is either Bertha or Bert.
TBH the noise they make is worse, look them up, there tons of videos. Side note: these animatronics are still up today, you can find them in places like Murray bridge
It will be worse if you realize there is an original design for this monster, the original one look like literal real meat and teeth. So they decide to change it into a more "kid friendly" version.
0:56 is the original design btw
anyone else kinda miss when this was the meme du jour? idk the timing was great, it was cathartic giving myself anxiety over something in 2020 that wasn't something legitimately dangerous
that probably came out wrong but submechanophobia stuff oddly helped me cope with the shitshow that was 2020
I remember going scuba diving once and when I jumped into the water and saw the propellers I panicked so much I almost cried lmao
0:44
man this dude be missing out on all the Chinese new years
Edit: For those unaware: This is the billabong bunyip at Aussie's Big Banana park. The first time I saw him he reminded me of a Chinese dragon, and he kinda looked like he was an abandoned submerged animatronic left to rot on a beach. He cool doe.
When I was a kid I thought that was a real photo of a sea monster
Why does no one ever use clips from the jaws ride. Thats literally the most scariest shit ever
The music so upbeat and awesome and yet terrifyingly fitting
I always think when im on a boat with my family, that theres like a lochness thing half sleeping on the bottom and when you get in the water it awakes😰🦑🐉🦴
This music reached into the depths of my brain and pulled out a haunting memory.
Kitty City - Cyriak
@@candiheeler37 I was looking for the name, thank you
What's the memory?? Tell us please
@@crayon.shavin145 kitty city
@@crayon.shavin145 Welcome to Kitty City by Cyriak
the thought of the creaking metal sounds and garbled voice-boxes of (especially abandoned/old) animatronics that are absolutely not supposed to be in water..... i swear i can smell the decay
I just imagine swimming in a lake and not knowing it use to have a history of being a defunct lake ride, when all of a sudden you somehow activate an animatronic that was left sunken in the dark waters for so long where no one had known it was there. All of a sudden you are being dragged in to the filthy water by sharp rusty cranks, arms, and gears, hearing them turn and shakily work to
drag you to your doom…
NO NO NOW IM MORE SCARED PLEASE PLEASE STOP THATS A SCARY THOUGHT 😦
Okay these made me smile. Thank you for letting me see this in my recommendations. And I believe I'd be dazzled by those projects.
I have a phobia that I didn’t even know exists...
Neither did I till now it seems like theirs a phobia for anything now these days
@Maximo Moline unlike gender the phobias actually exist
Just because you're scared doesn't mean you necessarily have a phobia. Submechanophobia is not just a fear of animatronics by the way
Anonymous no it’s not like that it just rather not be in a water with one animatronic in their
Dr. 4chan ok boomer
0:46 the only one that I actually saw irl( Jurassic park ride)
Nope I was at the ride in Hollywood
Dang Freddy and his band mates be looking great in their swimming outfits!
The only type of submechnaphobia that really scares me is sinking in a car
Cool likes
Scary stuff
Same, I had 3 nightmares based off of that
i think that’s called drowning
Oh no
i mean you can just break the windows unless you cant swim you will be fine
Sure, its weird
But the animation this song was from is even weirder.
*_C •~=~• Y •~=~• R •~=~• I •~=~• A •~=~• K_*
What’s it from
@@sydney5144 Welcome to kitty city
To me, they're really not that scary when you look at them in a picture or video, it's only scary when you really imagine yourself in that situation with them... being in the same water with those things, virtually just beneath your feet underwater, almost waiting for you to eventually dive in and witness them.
It's even worse when you accidently brush your toes against them, because you have no idea what it is, and so you freak out and rush to shore. Or even when you just stare down into the water and see them faintly in the blurry water, deep down, just sitting at the bottom.
Now that's scary.
YES
For anyone wondering the song is made by cyriak called “welcome to kitty city” which is 8 years old
Cute animal: *eksists* (my phone won’t let me type “>
i used to have nightmares about falling in the jaws ride lake
actual sharks? ehh. robot sharks? 😱
The scary thing is someone actually fell in the jaws ride water
Yeah cause a normal shark won't eat you just because. Robot boi? Nah he don't care he'll tear you apart and not care.
*sees real megalodon, mosasaurus and elasmosaurus in the same place*
Lmao ok
*sees robot versions of them*
*_A-_*
@@gumbochumbo5865 and they were in one of the areas where the sharks were held. Absolutely terrifying.
As a person who’s building an animatronic, it’s hilarious to see that people are scared of robots.
EDIT: I’m restoring one now
You're doing the devil's work
*make a spooky Loch Ness monster esc animatronic*
You dont get it i once fell into a lake and swear i felt something touch me
*but under water*
Ever heard of FnaF?
The first one wat actually quite cute
I liked the footage of the serpent at 0:40, because it looks more alive with its eyes and head moving. But at the beginning... the poor thing looks dead. With the bubbles leaking out of its face and the contracted looking eyes, sitting there completely still... it's sad.
Regarding this, it's more so a fear of accidentally touching something not natural, not knowing what it is and then finding out when you look into the water and it turning out to be a GIGANTIC thing you didn't know was even there to begin with. It's similar to the jumpscare you get when something flies into your face really fast.
20000 leagues under the sea was the shit but looking it now makes me sad
Finally someone understands me. That serpent makes me cry out of sadness and never fear.
The fact that mostly of it are all broken and one of serpent is actually hand painted by Disney himself makes me sadder even more :(
He might getcha cause of you're opinion of him
The owner of this video should at least give credit of the sources he used. Such as 20,000 leagues under the sea.
0:52 Mr.Gus...another celebrity effected by the drug industry
no WONDER the Bunyip thing looked familiar!!!
Mr.Gus really let himself go after Uncle Grandpa got cancelled 😔
Unlce granfps
NO NOT MR.GUS
He then died when trying to drive the RV on his high.
Mom:*``lets go to a ride!``*
Me:*``PLEASE NO! I HATE WATER ANIMAL TRONICS…``*
Fun fact
So the whale animatronic actually malfunctioned (I think) and they had to take it out but when they did it it broke into 5 pieces and it still rests at the bottom today but coverd with mud and other gunk
Edit: I was wrong when the park closed it had to be removed but it broke into 4 not 5 pieces so oops my bad
the the bunyip one (the weird looking dragon with giant frills on their head) also probably sunken into the lake, imagine swimming in that lake and you feel something thats feels like metal and look down and see a bunyip
@@Sunnfloweropposum I can't even imagine swimming underwater and seeing that.
Was there an animatronic rabbit in a bath tub?
Yes there was.
springtrap? 🤔
czcams.com/video/2OypfMvI5A8/video.html i believe this is it
Ashley Flynn I knew it seem familiar! Those animaltronics are fucking horrible.
Damn, do they never clean the bunny or the water?!
What song is this thoo, got me trippinn
here!!! czcams.com/video/jX3iLfcMDCw/video.html

knew this was from cyriak it’s just the melody
Ohhhh no don't ask that question o_o;
Kitty City - cyriak
00:30 imagine
So you have fallen out of the book you are swimming for safety.
And then this giant thing pops up literally inches away from your head.
Your foot is a smell it closes your foot is crushed it brings you down and you drown.
It just makes me feel disturbed, especially just imagine swimming with these things
0:40 is the one that scares me the most - just those rolling eyes and flailing head!
0:53 me on picture day
Yeah it literally looks alive, like it’s panicking and saying “help me!! I’m stuck underwater!”
It was supposed to be something to make the animatronic "unique"(?) And it has something to do with his personality, basically they created an entire personality for a wet robot, he's supposed to be super dumb but nice XD (it makes me super uncomfy tho- like man those eyes 🤠🔫)

The beginning of this video, with the goofy music playing, felt almost like an old Sesame Street short. Like do you have submechanophobia? Let's find out.
The 0:21 one is acctualy located in a theme park in italy named Gardaland. The ride is called I corsari.
Thank you. I came to the comment section hoping to find exactly this.
But *_why_*
No thank you
Legit looks SICK
You do know this is from disneyland right?
This triggered my fight or flight actions and I’m 100% on flight. Get me the hell away from those things *now*
yeah....punching those things isnt a good idea
Well just
BAZOOKA!
Being in the same water with some of these critters whould be sorta unsettling, but most I whould be okay with most of em.
That first one felt like someone was winding up a jack-in-the-box...
Whenever I see these, all I can think is: Aw; poor things. All they wanted to do was entertain people.
But they scare us instead, nice achievement
That's exactly my thought.
that's a really cute way of looking at it
We are entertained
By our fears
