What is your favorite use of audio-animatronics?

I have to go with the classics.... Haunted Mansion and POTC. I'll even add in IASW since it is impressive to see all those children.

Another one that is very impressive for me is the T-Rex in Dinosaur. He gets me everytime!

Ooopps, my bad! It is the Carnotaurus at the end that I was referring to.

Here's a twist. My favorite "re-use" is the critters from America Sings finding new life on Splash Mountain at Disneyland.

In addition to this one, I love the ones that made it to Star Tours too......I love insolent robots, they make me laugh.

I love both the Yeti and the Carnotaurus. The fact that I've been on Dinosaur dozens of times and still get a little bit nervous when I happen to be sitting on the right side of the car is saying something!

Hmm....I would say the Tiki Room is my favorite use of animatronics. I remember the first time I saw it, and I had no idea what moved and what didn't, so it was a constant surprise when first the birds sang, then the fountain, then the flowers, then the tiki gods and drums, then the walls...so magical and fun.

One of my favorites: the Wizard of Oz scene in the Great Movie Ride. They really did bring to life the Wicked Witch of West (Margaret Hamilton). It's incredible to see how well they brought the filim to life in that part of the ride.

The Enchanted Tiki Room and Hall of Presidents! I gotta see 'em every time.
