Statler and Waldorf: Muppet*Vision 3D - Hollywood Studios Disney World, Disney California Adventure (formerly)
Propaganda:
"Waldorf: “Do we have time to go to the bathroom before the next show?” Statler: “We can’t, you old fool. We’re bolted to the seats!” These animatronics are the next best thing to having the real puppets sitting there in the balcony doing what they do best--heckling the Muppets."
I decided to be kind and add an answer between once or twice and annually.
Bonus question, how many of you as kids started to figure out the wealthy kids based on all your classmates who went to Disney every year and you never went once? I think I figured it out by 8.
Me and my mum were at Disney World and everyone was running around looking panicked and we were like, “Huh I wonder what that’s about,” and it turned out that Slender Man was there, terrorising the public.
Disney Parks Animatronic Tournament: Bracket A/Tier 1 Round 4
Shaman of Songs: Na'vi River Journey (2017-current) - Animal Kingdom Disney World
Propaganda:
"it’s stunning, a true marvel of engineering, it was magic to look at"
"Have you SEEN how beautiful this animatronic is??? And I don't mean like physically (although she IS very pretty) but on a technical side the Shaman of Songs has absolutely amazing movement and the early ads for this ride literally had the animatronic itself speaking to the audience as if it were an actor.
Amazing tech right there" "She's absolutely gorgeous, her movements are so smooth and lifelike it's incredible. Easily one of the most impressive animatronics in the Disney parks."

Hatbox Ghost: Haunted Mansion(2015/2023-current) - Disneyland and Magic Kingdom Disney world
Propaganda:
"His head disappearing affect is really well done. His also so dapper!"
A lot of people dislike "Disney adults" but I think that adults holding onto their inner child is so precious.
I myself would be considered a "Disney adult", because I wear Disney merch and go to the parks at my my big age, but I cannot understate how happy everyone is at the Disney parks. Or at least tries to be.
Not to mention that the parks have existed for over 30 years! there are people 30-60 who still attend the parks because they grew up with them, it's a comforting memory to relive for them.
