Disneyland Goes to the Worlds Fair (1964)

[iMickey503Participant 12465]

A Wonderful Documentary of what was Possible with the Imagination of a great man.
WALT DISNEY!

Walt was always ahead of his time, and arguably, one of the greatest imaginative minds there ever was. He was always looking to further his dreams of the future. His kindred spirit, and his never ending wonder was what made this Mr. Disney the joy of all children around the world.

From his visionary theme park in California, to his legendary and sites in FLorida. Walt was always a man who always sought out what was possible.

His original visions sadly never came true.

Walt always had to deal with the realities of life,money, and limited resources, but what an amazing site it would have been.

But nonetheless, he created a park that would still wow generations to come.

But this is the story, of how Walt made his genius known for all the the world to see at the World’s Fair, (Now called Expo)

We look at today our fever to make humanoids that look real. Walt did this BACK IN 1960’s!

“As part of the Journey into Imagineering pavilion at the D23 Expo, parts of the latest Audio-Animatronic figures were on display. This head of Mr. Lincoln is one of the most advanced Audio-Animatronics and is used in the parks. Mr. Lincoln has 16 facial function, previous AA figures had approximately 6. He is all electric. Skin composition was also demonstrated. Imagineers reformulated the AA skin so that light would better reflect in all directions, as it does with real skin. An AA finger was passed around to show what the face actually feels like. “

Today this attraction is still in use today, with a few upgrades of course, but Walt made this all possible!

This amazing machine is still a pinnacle of the worlds foray into the Mechanical humanoid that is so sought after today.

Just looking at these makes you wonder why today, the best efforts of some pale in comparison to what Walt was able to do.

Walt Disney:

A TEAM OF WOMEN headed by a man, who’s robot was made by another company…Headed by a man…You get the idea. 🙂

Walt was imitating reality starting in the 1950’s, and laid the groundwork to just a few of these amazing things.

And he even used computers, to work out movement of characters!

Computers were the amazing thing that made this all work. Even back then Disney was forging ahead.

Aesthetics and art was important to making the animatronics look alive.

Back then, they made life like attractions that looked as human as anyone else.

Remember, THIS IS DISNEY. Not a robotics company.

And check this out!

And as far as robots?

And this is Disney’s NEW animatronics efforts

As a company, they were always ahead of their time.

And today, this wonder has sparked thousands of people to 3D print their own robots.

And some of the very things that Mr. Disney’s Company pioneered are just NOW being used today.

Walt unlike others use to take a hands on approach to making these Visions come to life.

It was the Simplicity and the engineering behind this that made it all possible with the countless numbers of engineers, technicians and support staff behind the scene. Just tale a look at this simple bird. But what it did was almost as real as the real thing. Even if it did not exist in real life.

And even taking something straight out of the imagination and bringing it to life.

Walt may have passed on. But his dreams, his vision still lives on with us today.
NEVER grow up. NEVER stop Dreaming.

You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home

I went to the fair in 64.
I was 53 at the time.
Kidding. I was a kid.
I remember they had these exibits of the kitchen of the future.

Everything was push button operated.

Little machines, put food in, push a button and 30 seconds latter a hot meal.came out! Amazing!

Dad was sitting at the table waiting, Mom in a beautiful long dress and pearls was cooking the effortless meal.for her loveing Family.

Well, they got the microwave part right,
But now mom wont even cook at all, and there is no Dad.

Little Johnny the mangina, and Susey his tatooed slut of a sister.
