Test footage of new audio-animatronic Lincoln for Disneyland

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.

I seem to remember the old Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln as having a richer voice. I also remember going to see it, I think for the first time, when there was a point in Licoln's speech where he said,"children's babbling tongues", or something similar, and at that moment, a baby in the audience cried. I thought, nice touch. Or amazing timing.

On America's Funniest Home Videos, they have a video titled Mr. Lincoln's Bad Day--it shows Mr. Lincoln slowly toppling over from the waist, while still speaking.

I thought it was hilarious where they had the view of them sculpting Mr. Lincoln's head, and one sculpture had gold mouse ears on it! The video was jerky for me, too, so you're not alone if it was jerky. Heck, that happens to all videos I view online. And that's despite having high-speed wireless internet.

Last time I saw the Mr. Lincoln, it was with the head sets. When the guy was giving a haircut, it sounded like my hair was being cut. I can't seen to get the video to come up on my computer. Low memory... I will have to check it out when it re-opens during Dec.

I do have to say, it makes certain attractions much more interesting when I come around a corner, and Figment is so excited to see me that he starts to piddle.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
