It's pretty realistic-They use the moving mouths, the blinking eyes, and what seems to be RFID to know the names and all. Seems to be just the beginning on that front. Pretty cool, if just for a Meet and Greet! we might not be interested, but for a kid who has never been to WDW, or met Mickey, that would be pretty amazing. Heh. Thoughts?
