    This document discusses animatronics, including their definition as mechatronic puppets used in films and theme parks. It notes that Walt Disney helped pioneer their use in the 1950s and 1960s. Animatronics function using remote controls or other devices to move them. They are used when using real creatures or actors is too risky, costly, or impossible. While still common in theme parks, animatronics also have disadvantages like high costs and being prone to damage. The largest known animatronic was a 25,000 pound Spinosaurus created for Jurassic Park III.

    WHAT IS ANIMATRONICS ?
     Animatronics refers to mechatronic puppets.

     They are a modern variant of the automaton


    and are often used for the portrayal of
    characters in films and in theme park
    attractions.

     Animatronics is a type of special effects which


    involves building mechanized creatures like
    dinosaurs, imaginary animals, and others.
    Initially, the concept was developed for Disney
    Studios, which used a giant squid in the 1954
    film version 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
    ANIMATION

    ELECTRONICS
    PURPOSE
    Animatronics are used in
    situations where a creature
    does not exist, the action is
    too risky or costly to use real
    actors or animals, or the
    action could never be
    obtained with a living
    person or animal.
    WHO CREATED ANIMATRONICS
    • In 1951, machinist Roger Broggie
    and sculptor Wathel Rogers (a
    year before they would be
    labeled Imagineers) led a team
    tasked with creating a nine-inch-
    tall figure that could move and
    talk
    • The term Audio-Animatronics
    was coined by Walt Disney in
    1961 when he started
    developing animatronics for
    entertainment and film.
    WHY WERE ANIMATRONICS
    CREATED ?
    The modern era of animatronics began in
    1961, when Walt Disney started developing
    animatronics for entertainment and film.
    Disney and his "imagineers" created a 9-inch
    tall Dancing Man figurine. Though primitive
    by today's standards, the little man captured
    people's attention and got the animatronic
    ball rolling.23-Jul-2015
    HOW DO ANIMATRONICS FUNCTION?
    Put simply, they're puppets that
    can move thanks to technology.
    They're run by people using
    remotes or other devices to tell
    them how to move. Can you think
    of any examples of animatronics?
    They're used in many movies.
    TYPES OF ANIMATRONICS
    • Classic Animatronics.
    • Withered Animatronics.
    • Toy Animatronics.
    • Shadow Animatronics.
    • Phantom Animatronics.
    • Springlock Hybrids.
    • Nightmare Animatronics.
    • Funtime Animatronics.
    DISADVANTAGE OF ANIMATRONICS
    • They are difficult to build or
    expensive to buy, they may wear
    out, they require electricity or
    compressed air, the cheap ones
    lack realistic movement or
    external coverings, people can
    damage them if they can get
    close and touch them, the
    mechanical noises they produce
    may ruin the effect, most aren't
    weatherproof.
    ARE ANIMATRONICS STILL USED ?
    Animatronics are also common in
    theme parks. Visits to Disneyland
    and Disney World wouldn't be the
    same without them. The
    “Enchanted Tiki Room,” “Pirates of
    the Caribbean,” and “Splash
    Mountain” are a few examples of
    rides that include them.
    WHICH IS THE BIGGEST ANIMATRONIC
    EVER CREATED
    • The largest animatronic created
    for a film is the Spinosaurus built
    by Stan Winston Studio for
    Jurassic Park III. The practical
    creature, operated via hydraulics
    to move and 'roar', weighed
    25,000 pounds and was nearly
    45 feet long.
    MODERN ATTRACTIONS
    The first animatronics characters
    shown to the public were a dog
    and a horse, as separate
    attractions at the 1939 New York
    World's Fair. Sparko, The Robot
    Dog (the "pet" of Elektro the
    Robot) is considered the first
    modern-day animatronic
    character, as it represented a
    living animal rather than a purely
    mechanical figure.An unnamed
    animatronic horse, which was
    reported to gallop realistically, was
    also exhibited.
    MODERN ATTRACTIONS

    • Laffing Sal is one of several


    animatronic characters that
    were built primarily to attract
    carnival and amusement park
    patrons to funhouses and dark
    rides throughout the United
    States. Its movements were
    accompanied by a raucous laugh
    that sometimes frightened small
    children and annoyed adults.
