Disney's Animatronics: A Living History
In the 1960s, Walt Disney carried the torch of one of humanity's oldest pursuits, the search for mechanical life. The result was Audio-Animatronics, a new breed of robots designed to mimic life.
In this first part of a two-part exploration into living machines in Disney Parks, Kevin explores the history of automatons and the initial development of Disney's Animatronics.
