If you know anything about Walt Disney and his animation, you know that Walt was famous for the accuracy of his animated objects compared to real life. Accuracy for animals as well as humans.
They have lots of data to compare with Walt. Film and video. Photographs. People who knew him. There is no excuse for the inaccuracy shown here. A good movie makeup artist could do a better job making Tom Hanks look like Walt. Walt would not approve and would order it to be redone immediately. They screwed up the likeness out in the promenade last month. Now this. Time to fire some bad imagineers for incompetence and hire some real talent to continue the Disney traditions. Maybe give the fired employees some glasses as a parting gift.
I noticed immediately that the face and head proportions were off the first time I saw the videos. You would think they would have done a better job on Walt. Great idea, not so good on execution!
Comments for Backlash Erupts Over New Walt Disney Animatronic: “It Looks Nothing Like Him”
Cool
So what if they got the hair wrong? And the eyes? And the chin? And the mustache? And the size of his head? And the shape of his head?
Oh…..I see it now. Never mind.
