You do that, Jacca! I know I'd need comforting if I were to encounter him.

But be careful when you comfort her...she looks like she will snap in half if hugged too hard

Re: Disney reveals it is testing a talking Mickey Mouse
I would agree with you on that one MmeLeota. She does seem nice...most of those stars look normal on tv but when you see them at red (or blue) carpet events with "regular" people, you realize how stick skinny they really areMmeLeota wrote:Yeah, you and a whole line of other guysJacca5660 wrote:I'll comfort Teri!!!

Re: Disney reveals it is testing a talking Mickey Mouse
I would think this would have to be done extremely well before Disney would consider moving a talking Mickey out into the park. However, if this is done with the same care as Lucky the Dinosaur, I'll definitely be impressed. To this day, I'm still impressed with how good Lucky looked.

The scary part is that the talking Mickey is already out testing in Toontown....lhmathys wrote:I would think this would have to be done extremely well before Disney would consider moving a talking Mickey out into the park.

I am terrified of the whole robot/animatronic thing, but I have to admit, when I saw Lucky, I was amazed...until he started walking. He is so cute and you can't help but scratch his chin...

Re: Disney reveals it is testing a talking Mickey Mouse
I have a feeling the talking Mickey will be used only in shows and parades for a while...other than Toontown meet & greets in DL. I just can't see something like this being widespread around the parks for a while...if ever. It will have to be extremely isolated and done in controlled environments. I just don't think the technology is there yet to have a talking Mickey roaming around.

Re: Disney reveals it is testing a talking Mickey Mouse
That's what I hope for. It'd be easier to save him for those kinds of things instead of having many of those costumes all throughout the parks.theBIGyowski wrote:I have a feeling the talking Mickey will be used only in shows and parades for a while...other than Toontown meet & greets in DL.

Re: Disney reveals it is testing a talking Mickey Mouse
I'm guessing that the sheer cost of the technology will keep it from being too widespread...elizabethswann wrote:That's what I hope for.

This reminds me of that dinosaur they had in AK, he could walk and ineract with guests. It was hardly ever out then I think they took it to one of the Euro Disney's?

Re: Disney reveals it is testing a talking Mickey Mouse
That was Lucky, the dinosaur. I never got to see him From what I have read he was only in Animal Kingdom for a summer, then he was shipped out to other parksboilerbabe wrote:This reminds me of that dinosaur they had in AK, he could walk and ineract with guests.

Here is a short video of Lucky that I found http://disney.go.com/videos/more/?conte ... tent=10773 which comes after an advertisment for Toy Story 3 (or at least that was the ad when I watched it)

Re: Disney reveals it is testing a talking Mickey Mouse
That's right, Lucky was his name!!! We never did get to see him either! He looked cool whereas the talking Mickey is scary!
