It's AA, it really looks good. A good step for WDW.

I thought I could see someone controlling him from behind the door he enters from. I swear I could see movement through the door slats.

But he's really cute. I love how he hops just like in his short and the Pixar logo intro.

He is a fully automated animatronic. (not a living character by any means) For a real treat, come back at night and watch the show then... Luxo Jr. controls all the lighting in the area... and when he comes out, he conducts a musical light show!

Very nice, adding life and interest to the area. Hope Pixar Place keeps getting better. Now if only they'd get rid of that Hat...

That's awesome. It's these little touches that make the Disney park experience so neat. I feel like Disneyland does it so well with things like the queen from snow white in the window or the sword in the stone. It's good to see these touches coming to the other parks.

Re: Luxo Jr. Makes It's Debut @ DHS!
That is just great. I'm glad Studios always seems willing to try things like this. He is...a risk. He does nothing for a return on investment, except make people happy...and I am glad to see they put him in.

Its a great little touch...now I just need to get to see him.

That is my video, I have pics of it here with some explanation of what it is:

MouseSteps - Park/Resort Updates

I plan to add pics to the MC weekend update too, and the night version is different than the day (I have several videos now on YouTube).

It's an AA. I'm glad to see its up and running now. I'll have to make a trip to the Studios one of these days.
