A new episode of Walt Disney Imagineering's Imagineer That! takes you inside the daily work of keeping the Audio-Animatronics figures at Country Bear Musical Jamboree looking show ready.

The bears at Country Bear Musical Jamboree perform continuously at Magic Kingdom, but what does it take to keep them in peak condition? Host Tom Morrow 2.0 brings in an Imagineer to walk through exactly how that happens.

What the Episode Covers

The new episode breaks down three areas of Audio-Animatronics maintenance:

  • Show quality reviews keep figures performance-ready on a consistent basis
  • Character realism requires coordination across multiple disciplines, not just one team
  • Performance accuracy is as much about storytelling as it is about mechanics

The new episode of Imagineer That! is available now on the Walt Disney Imagineering YouTube channel.

They seem to have changed their mind about giving away how effects work since the last edition of Jason Surrell's Haunted Mansion book.

Stuff from the 90s looks horribly dated now and I lived through it.
