I love Banksy. It's amazing how he managed to do such effective and good looking animatronic work, while his area of expertise is spraypainting and stenciling. I wonder if he had a lot of help for this exhibition.

This looks like an animatronic cat.

Gracias

When I saw the dinosaurs, I instinctively expected to see animatronic Jesus next to one...

Great Sift. I think I remember the Inner Space ride at Disney World from when I was a wee lad.

The entrance into Star Tours in Disney World (with the big AT-AT) was breathtaking the first time I went into it back in 91! I still have pictures of me and Chewbaca. I loved it.

Just recently I got to ride the one at Disneyland, and the entrance is just a boring passage in the side of a building, and Admiral Ackbar's animatronic neck was wrenching in a weird way that almost look liked it was breaking off while turning.

I'm pretty sure those kids were animatronic, too.

Did you see the creepy looks on their faces when they were eating?

I agree 100% with this photo - The first trilogy used technology without showboating. The new trilogy felt more like a showcase for the new technology!

I missed the latex and animatronics, I missed the Yoda puppet, I missed the Jabba puppet. I missed all the wonderful possibilities that modern technology could have done to the model making and creature creation.

I think the dogfights were much more interesting in the new trilogy but that just made them spend too much time on them showing us all the wonderful things they could do. Episode One should have been called "Star Wars: Podracing!"

he looks a lot like Zoltar the animatronic fortune teller from the movie "Big"

OK, My choice is a big obvious Star Wars but here’s why:

1). Star Trek
There has never really been a great Trek movie. I always liked DS9 but I always found trek to be very limiting. There is the clinically dry Asimov type Sci/fi which becomes quite limiting and there is is the Frank Herbert style of Sci/fi/fantacy which leaves room to grow and expand and expand. I found Trek to be in the Asimov category. (I still like it though)

2). Lord of the Rings
Rings delivered greatness, it had to or it would have flopped. The books gave way to a whole new fantasy world and expanded into things like D&D and inspired worlds upon new worlds. The movies however were not inspirational in themselves. Well done and a great watch but the punch was already given to the books.

3). Harry Potter
Again, The books were well done and drew in every kid from around the world. The entire world was recreated by Rowling which sucked you in and put you in that world. The movies are well made and fun to watch but they don’t explore or break any new ground in movie making.

The Matrix
4). Expanded our views and took us on an adventure that was unique and new, It had a premise to be an amazing series and truly it was. The special effects were great but the effects started to become the movies by the last film and overshadowed the storyline. They just didn’t have a clear direction to take the movie into and for some reason felt they needed to conclude the story, although they didn’t.

5). Star Wars – Winner!
Star Wars hit the world with a wake up slap to the face. Maybe you had to be in our generation to have felt the slap. I was in grade 4 or 5 when it came out. It became THE most influential Sci/Fi/Fantacy movie ever, re-defining the entire genre and raising the bar on every other genre. The world could not get enough. From special effects to sounds, musical score, creatures, animatronics and stop motion. Star Wars set the Bar so high that 30 years later, people are still trying to top it.

YES, The prequels didn’t have the punch the original 3 had! But as a Spaghetti Sci-fi it has all the pieces. Not to mention the reach it has into our culture, Quotes from all 6 star wars movies are everywhere, ingrained in our everyday language. The religion, the lessons, the imagination, the books it inspired, the gaming, the slave Leia costume.

Then the animatronic John Wilkes Booth jumped from the stage and made his getaway.

I was laughing before the clip even started... just the idea of an animatronic president malfunctioning. Ha!

Could probably still do a better job than W.

So where the feet animatronic? Looked rather like there was some unfortunate guy folded up in the bottom half of the 'table' too.

BAH!!! ANIMATRONICS!!

It looks uncannily like a dwarf in a bunny suit with an animatronic nose.
