I wouldn't even call it an animatronic, it looks like a sock puppet. It has what looks to be three movements, it's arms are static, it's eyes are static, there are no intricate or unique mechanisms to make it look like he's alive. Hopefully, this is a test but even as a test it's FAR from being Disney-quality and is in my opinion, really bad show.

Not only would it have been cheaper, maybe I would have had a hot hamburger at WDW this trip.
