So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate the theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going?
It was once an ambitious "sequel park," a theme park designed to be visited only later in the day. Now, it's been abandoned for three times longer than it operated.

For years, I have been working on a documentary project about the history of children's birthdays, and I am again putting out a call to anyone willing to share photos and videos from their childhood birthday for us to possibly use in the film. More details below!
I first did a call for birthday media a few years ago. I initially envisioned this as a short video, but the submissions were some of the most beautiful, touching, funny, and human artifacts I had ever seen, and I knew it had to be something more to do this justice.
This is the biggest project (in terms of production, not runtime) that we've done yet, and we are grateful to anyone that will consider helping us in our search for more birthday media. Thank you and take care!
I love Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie so much. It's in theaters for a very limited time. Don't watch a trailer, just go see it. It's one of my favorite things made this decade, maybe ever.
The music from our Animatronics/Living Characters duology is now available to stream on Apple Music, Spotify, and other music platforms. The new album, titled Living Machines, features nearly two hours of original music.
We are sad to learn about the passing of former Imagineer Eddie Sotto. He led the design of Main Street for Disneyland Paris and the master planning for Tokyo Disneyland, among many other projects.
Sotto reflected on his career during our 2023 interview: buff.ly/2NVjfWh
