Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm very impressed that we're getting an attraction with an audio animatronic because all of this I don't know why they wouldn't lead with that, but I think uh what I'm going to talk about next is probably why Disney didn't lead with that.
That's the bad part. Um, so I totally understand people being upset about that. I get that. That's that's not great.
I'm very torn here. I I would ask you what your comments are, but I assume everyone's going to be upset there's no human animator, and rightfully so.
