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

    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.

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

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

    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

    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!

    Animatronics are so freaking awesome

    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! 👍🏻

    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: czcams.com/video/Nm1EF9PcYUQ/video.html

    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) ---

    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?

  • @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!

    @teamsyd Před 7 lety

    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.

  • @ashleyaustell7302
    @ashleyaustell7302 Před 7 lety

    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)!

    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!

    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 CZcams channel with my best friend, and I would LOVE to be able to share some of my overflowing Disney knowledge with a greater audience!

    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.

  • @SweetLilHunnyBee
    @SweetLilHunnyBee Před 7 lety

    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
      @Thingamavlogs  Před 7 lety +1

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

  • @blaisewinterhalter2758

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

    • @Thingamavlogs
      @Thingamavlogs  Před 7 lety +1

      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
      @blaisewinterhalter2758 Před 7 lety

      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 CZcams carrier. If you are doing well then that is awesome and i hope you make even better videos in the future!!!!!!!!!:):):)
