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.

Here is a good video of Lucky the Dinosaur at the D23 Expo this past September;

I was there when this video was taken. He was very cool! I first saw him when he was doing play-tests at California Adventure some years ago, and I was very glad to see him again! (And to actually meet him.)
I really love WDI's "Living character" initiative.

I would love to see him too. last time I saw him at a live showing his computer crashed and he had to be dragged off stage. poor thing...

I liked his first companion better thou, Chandler the handler was the best!
now they can run a attraction off of a laptop,
just wait untill they can do fullsized wandering AA figures.

Yeah, Chandler the Dinosaur handler was cool. I remember, part of the "bit" during testing in DCA was that they were making their way to "Dinosoarin' Over California"
I also saw the Muppet Mobile Lab while it was testing at DCA. It now has a home in Hong Kong Disneyland. But I heard at the expo that the folks at WDI are apparently working on new mobile Muppet projects...
