Editing Audio-Animatronics (section)

==Variations==
The Audio-Animatronics figures at Disney's theme parks around the world vary in their sophistication. Current technologies have paved the way for more elaborate figures, such as the swordfighting pirates inside [[Pirates of the Caribbean (attraction)|Pirates of the Caribbean]] at [[Disneyland Park (Paris)]], the lava monster in [[Journey to the Center of the Earth (attraction)|Journey to the Center of the Earth]] at [[Tokyo DisneySea]], the [[Fictional_universe_of_Avatar#Na'vi|Na'vi]] Shaman in [[Na'vi River Journey]], the [[dinosaur]]s in [[Dinosaur (Disney's Animal Kingdom)|Dinosaur]], the [[Yeti]] in [[Expedition Everest]] at [[Disney's Animal Kingdom]] (though the latter has been non-functional since 2008, using a strobe light to simulate movement of the still figure<ref>{{cite web| url= http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/expedition-everest-effects-status-watch.171808/page-83 | title= Expedition Everest effects status watch| work= Forums | date= 18 April 2007| publisher= WDWMagic.com| access-date= 13 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url= https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2010/07/31/disney-fans-dismayed-with-disco-yeti/| work= [[Orlando Sentinel]] | title= Disney fans dismayed with 'Disco Yeti' |date= 31 July 2010 |first= Jason |last= Garcia |access-date= 13 May 2015}}</ref>), and [[List_of_Monsters,_Inc._characters#Roz|Roz]] inside [[Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!]] at [[Disney California Adventure]] and [[Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek]] at [[Tokyo Disneyland]].

The Roz figure is able to interact with guests with help from an unseen operator who chooses pre-recorded messages for Roz to speak, thereby seeming to react to individual guests' unique appearances and clothing. The [[List_of_Toy_Story_characters#Mr._Potato_Head|Mr. Potato Head]] figures at the [[Toy Story Mania!]] attractions at Disney California Adventure, [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]], and Tokyo DisneySea do the same.

In 2006, the classic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction was updated at [[Disneyland]] and [[Magic Kingdom]] to include characters from the [[Pirates of the Caribbean (film series)|''Pirates of the Caribbean'' film series]]. The [[Jack Sparrow]] figure is based on the actor that portrays him, [[Johnny Depp]], and features his voice. The most advanced Audio-Animatronic figure is [[Abraham Lincoln]] at [[Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln]] at Disneyland. Lincoln can move his lips to form words and portray emotions to match what he is saying.

The Audio-Animatronic [[anglerfish]] inside [[The Seas with Nemo & Friends]] in [[Epcot]] is connected to a robotic arm to make it appear that the anglerfish is actually swimming.

The Audio-Animatronic [[Indiana Jones (character)|Indiana Jones]] figures inside [[Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye]] and [[Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull|Temple of the Crystal Skull]] at Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea respectively, resemble Indiana Jones actor [[Harrison Ford]].

In the [[Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin|Buzz Lightyear attractions]] at Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, and Disneyland Park Paris, the Audio-Animatronics figures of [[Buzz Lightyear]] use projections for their faces to make Buzz's mouth move and eyes blink. The projected face technology is also used in [[Seven Dwarfs Mine Train]] at Magic Kingdom and [[Shanghai Disneyland]], and [[Frozen Ever After]] at Epcot. These Audio-Animatronics were succeeded by the figures in use in the [[Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge|''Star Wars'': Galaxy's Edge]] lands at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2019, such as [[List_of_Star_Wars_characters#O|Hondo Ohnaka]] in the [[Star Wars: Millennium Falcon – Smugglers Run|''Millennium Falcon'' – Smugglers Run]] attraction. These new figures, known as A-1000 Animatronics, have a fully functional face, featuring a full range of motion in the eyes and mouth.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hondo Animatronic Revealed for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney Parks|url=https://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2019/02/28/hondo-animatronic-revealed-for-star-wars-galaxys-edge-at-disney-parks/|publisher=Laughingplace.com|access-date=December 21, 2019|date=February 28, 2019}}</ref>
