The Disney Imagineers are at it again. The recent debut of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his nervous assistant, Beaker, is breaking new grounds in character interactions at Disney theme parks. Called the Live Character Initiative, this appears to be similar to the interaction we get during Turtle Talk with Crush, except the interaction is with a "live" character rather than the one on screen.
It is terrific to hear things like this. The imagineers are truly thinking up new stuff, and this pushes the envelope of animatronics that Disney pioneered a long time ago. I can't wait to see this myself when I get there in late May. Maybe now there's more of a reason to walk all the way to that area of Disney/MGM Studios, rather than just do Tower of Terror and Rock 'N Roller Coaster, and then leave!

Edit: ARGH! I just realized that this is only at California Adventure and not at MGM Studios. Oy! I should not do speed reading too often.
Zz.
