 Which is your favorite?
So, I was thinking about all the magic that Disney has brought to life via its audioanimatronic figures (I love those words), and it occurred to me: Do you have a favorite one in particular? Not a group, like, "I love all the Pirates," but a specific figure that you have to see every time you go.
I know that there are some state of the art animatons, but I have to say that my favorite is that delightful, delicate, dedicated, and dimpled darlin' of the Dakotas, the last of the big time swingers. Swingin' Teddi Barra! My whole family always tries to sit right under the spot that she comes down from. We love her little feet when she's swinging! 
Well, there he goes, he hardly knows, the heart he's breakin'...

My favorites are all in POTC, so many to choose (especially now that they've added Jack Sparrow). My favorite would have to be the first of the new Sparrow figures because it is so amazingly lifelike to me. But also, one that always stands out for me, oddly, is the drunk guy with the cats around him.

I don't have a favorite, but one of my DD's just LOVES Big Al in the Country Bear's Jamboree - he's the one that sings "Blood on the Saddle". She thinks he is the funniest thing!

My favorite is still Abraham Lincoln at the Hall of Presidents!! I love him both because I love history and because he is basically where the whole audioanimitronic business started from! I realize he has been updated many times but he is still as close as it comes to the original!
-
My favorite is Stitch!! He's awesome! 
I love seeing a "life size" Stitch.

1) The master entertainer of tomorrow land, Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Rays .... got to love the act.

My DH and I always quote in unison "We wants the redhead!" when we pass this. That's a great animatronic.

I agree with you about that one. I tend to like the pre-show better than the animatronics there! Not too long ago on the Ellen Degeneres show, she was talking about how she had never seen her character at Epcot. I thought that was strange!
Now the ones I do like are Captain Jack at POTC simply because it is Jack and looks VERY realistic. On Youtube, I saw a clip where Johnny Depp was looking at it for the first time. He actually got out of the boat to go look at it, and he was impressed at how realistic it was.
Another one I like is the snoring monk in Spaceship Earth. I wonder if he will still be there after the refurbishments?

I hope the monk and the Egyptian royalty are still there!

I've never been to WDW, so I'm not sure if it's the same but I'm really hoping so!
On Splash Mtn at DL, when you re-enter the ride for the last time after the big drop, there are a porcupine and a racoon jamming together. The porcupine is playing the drums on a turtle shell and the racoon is playing a harmonica. They are my absolute favorite... so cute! 
Please tell me that they are also in the WDW version or I will be crushed!

Mr. & Mrs. Mouse are heading back to WDW! We're celebrating our 1st anniversary at the Wilderness Lodge in July!!
