Mickey Tests Some Magic Words at WDW

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Mickey Tests Some Magic Words at WDW

Mickey Tests Some Magic Words at Walt Disney World.

That was only a test for a limited number of guests, it'll be really neat once he starts speaking to everyone. I wonder how it all works.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Very very cool. But I worry about it damaging the magic when Pluto, Goofy , Donald et al are not able to talk at their meets. It seems to me it should be all or nothing for talking characters. Kids seem to readily accept that Mickey and friends are saving their voices for a show. Just because he can talk, doesn't mean that he should.
Home er I know the thrill firsthand of chatting with a living character. At Animatirs Pallete on the Dream, Crush singled me out for a chat about the dangerous bear (Duffy) who was sitting across from me at dinner. It was unbelievably cool!

That actually is pretty cool! Having Mickey interact vocally with the guests will really add to the experience.

yep, I just hope it is self contained.
having a puppethead would only be good for shows.
