Parodies and critiques of the Disney classics!

Garner Holt Productions has a new animatronic Abraham Lincoln bust. It’s set to be part of a series called “Living Faces of History” – not necessarily headed to a Disney theme park near you.

This video is less “Hey, look, it’s Abraham Lincoln!” and more “Hey, look what kind of faces this thing can make!” but it’s still impressive.

First off, the range of motion and fluidity is amazing here, and second off, this really drives home how important subtlety and restraint are in animating human characters in robotic form, given how easily the expressions here range from stunningly convincing in terms of solemnity and gentle humor, which you would want in this type of application, to like roboAbe is high out of his mind, or wacky and crazy eyed, or will straight up fucking kill you. It has seamless transitions and very little separating how quickly the face changes or expressions amplified beyond a desired level, demonstrating the need for care and detailed planning in what looks natural in the art form of performing robots designed to look human.

I went to the Renaissance faire dressed as a warrior.  I had a real sword with me, too.  I was standing (in character) next to a sword-fighting ring, where kids of all ages got the chance to pick up a sword and challenge the champion.  Some woman walks by, with her little girl.  The girl starts walking towards the ring, saying she wants to fight.  But the mom pulled her away hella sharply, and was like, “That’s for boys.”  You don’t want to be a BOY, do you?”    And the girl looked around and saw me.  I think she thought I was a boy; I had my hair in a ponytail, and was wearing a hood.  So she comes up to me and asks me, “Do you think girls can be fighters, too?”  And her mom looks like she’s silently gloating.  Like she thinks I’m going to say no.  So I take off my hood, untie my hair so that it flows freely, and kneel before her.  And I’m like, “Milady, anyone can be a fighter.”  I swear, the look on that mother’s face made my day.

This post was good but then it got better

Okay, this is a slight topic diversion, but in response to the above comment. I’ve volunteered at the CT Ren Faire for years now. For the last 5 or so I’ve worked in the game section, and we have a game similar to the above comment called “Smite the Knight”. I’ve been in the ring before, it’s a ton of fun getting to run around with the kids. The main goal is entertainment. Have a good shtick, keep the crowd engaged, and let the kids have a good time.

In both work and observing, I have learned something about kids. A lot of parents try to get their boys to go fight. Of the young ones that do, they tend to be shy. You get the ones who just swing the boffer swords around with no regard for life, but, mostly, they’re reserved. It’s adorable. I mean, they’re kids.

But the girls. THE GIRLS. Holy crap. I swear, the pinker the dress, the more taffeta and glitter…the more intensity. I remember, the first year I worked there, one girl came in, grabbed the biggest sword she could, and WENT TO TOWN on our knight. Lifted it over head, let out this primal scream and mowed him down. Homeboy is 6′2″, she was FIVE. And once he was in the fetal position (He was fine. It was for show.) on the ground, she stopped, put her foot on his chest, and yelled “I AM A FIERCE PRINCESS!!”. Later in the day when she walked by a couple of use yelled “Ah! It’s the fierce princess!” and she stopped and flexed. It was the best, and I will never forget that girl.

like he’s a 9 year old boy dressing up as a villain from a kids movie about dogs for Halloween….like he’s a boy in a costume

[thebravepunzie]

This makes me very angry that some people are ignorant enough to say something like this, this boy, A CHILD and a boy found a super original and fantastic idea for halloween, not to mention how well he succeded at doing his costume,and this person dares call this inappropriate? Because of imbeciles like this children are afraid to let their originalities and creativity take it’s wing in fear of such ignorant comments.So where are children’s creativity you say? well boneheads like this make sure they have none i’m happy his father put this guy back in his place. His costume is amazing, heck, he’d deserves an award!

Please parents out there make sure you encourage your childrens creativity, don’t discourage them or make them complexed.

I’ve given Inside Out a lot of grief about how it portrays the dad of the family as super stereotypical and outdated, so here let’s give a shout-out to a dad who is doing it right!

Do you ever see face characters and think, wow, they’re totally the wrong face? I mean, this lady looks nothing like Snow White, but would actually be a very convincing Aurora.

I might actually consider PLAYING an assassins creed game if that was the case

Have model, toy & mask technology advanced that much over the decades, or is this more of a reflection of contemporary tastes? Because old displays & masks look just fucking creepy. Will the current Disneyland merch & costuming look creepy to people in 20-30 years? Is it like newscasters, who sound like they’re talking “normally” at the time, but in retrospect you can totally tell the decade’s affectations of the 30s, 50s, 80s, etc...
