Exploring Incredible Disney Character Technology With Special Guest Mike Celestino!

It all started with a mouse . . . an animatronic talking Mickey Mouse character costume, that is!

Thinking about Ouannii and the recent demonstration of those adorable BD droids shown recently at Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge brought to mind other times that Disney has experimented with walk about creatures, droids, and animatronic marvels in the parks. We brought Mike Celestino back to chat with us about these and other examples of Disney’s wizardry. We also chat about ideas we would like to see come to life.
