199: The Magic of Audio-Animatronics: From the Dancing Man to the Shaman

Audio-animatronics have been a staple of Disney parks for over five decades. But what many guests might not realize is that "Audio-Animatronics" is a registered trademark because Walt Disney and his team of Imagineers were actually responsible for inventing the technology! On this week's show we trace the history of audio-animatronics, stopping along the way to discuss some of the biggest milestones and our personal favorite audio-animatronics, including Abraham Lincoln, the Tiki Room birds, Hopper, and much more. Also on this week's episode, Jeremy and Matt discuss their recent adventures in Walt Disney World and share their thoughts on the World of Disney's new look, Toy Story Land, and more. Plus, we play another round of Take 5 by sharing our thoughts on various Disney topics using only five words. Tune in now! Are you on social media?
