It's being done entirely for the sake of doing it, the self gratification of the projects - there's very little merit in it as it pertains to the overall show. Does MILF improve anything by having the technology? No. Does the Mppet Mobile Lab serve any real purpose showcased at Epcot for two weeks? No. Let's do it because it's neat and we think it'd be cool! Ugh, if i could revoke their artistic license I would. "Engineer-think." Yes, that's derogatory.

Speaking of Lucky, did he ever get his upgrade leemac? I sure wish they would send him on tour again. The last I heard he was just sitting in Glendale. Maybe you could set him free when you go back. I am completely fasinated by Lucky, and the Muppet Mobile Lab. I just doubt if I ever will get the chance to see them. I certainly wish you could comment on IASW also leemac.

Lucky is back in Glendale but has a new starring role - he is the actual part of the new Adventures by Disney tour - Backstage Magic. It is a new 6 day ABD package that includes Hollywood and DLR. The first one ran earlier this month. One of my favorite stories about Lucky was that Creative Entertainment were asked to create a show involving him. They asked a multitude of people to try and work up a treatment including Kristen Anderson-Lopez. Naturally that project never saw the light of day - but Kristen went on to write Finding Nemo - The Musical at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Originally Posted By MPierce Lucky sure seemed to draw a crowd when he was out, and about everywhere he went. I've only seen pictures, but nobody looks like their sleeping in them. I think he is an amazing piece of technology. Anything the imagineers can come up with that draws a crowd, and makes people smile, I consider a sucess.

Originally Posted By leobloom Living characters might have potential for use in attractions, though I don't see the appeal of the roaming characters other than the MuppetMobile (and that's just because people like seeing the Muppets live). But if the best they can do with living characters is MILF then no thanks, just keep building dark rides, thank you very much. Turtle Talk works for me because it's a minor attraction. When you suddenly take that technology and put it in a big theater at the front of Tomorrowland, something seems lost in translation. It seems like more of a novelty act than a big advancement in Imagineering...
