So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate the theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going?

@ghoulishgouache Yes, that would be helpful! I have all the Disneyland Lines and Disney Magazines but do not have all the Eyes and Ears

Have been researching a very specific EPCOT Center attraction and am resorting to shouting into the ether for help.

So please ignore this if you don't know or care about EPCOT Center. But if you do...

[Defunctland @Defunctland]

@Askwho This is very helpful. Thank you!

The Electronic Forum had three elements in 1990. The Future Choice Theater (the EPCOT Poll with the buttons in the arm rests), the World News Center (TV banks showing news) and the Person of the Century terminals.

[Defunctland @Defunctland]

@davidymcdavid Thank you, this is very helpful. I am now trying to find imagery to see how much they changed the space. I know the theater was at least still back there.

[Defunctland @Defunctland]

I should clarify, while I appreciate everyone’s comments, we’ve been researching this for quite a while, so we’re really looking for first or second hand accounts not currently available online.

[Defunctland @Defunctland]

Does anyone have ANY information on this. Do you remember doing or seeing the Person of the Century poll, and if you do, do you remember when your trip was? Every confirmation of a Person of the Century poll between March of 1991 and 1996 will help greatly.

First episode of that podcast in six years, doesn't matter. He has a Bachelors in Microbiology and no one ever asks him about it.

[Defunctland @Defunctland]

Bob Chapek come on my podcast, I'll only ask you about microbiology

[Defunctland @Defunctland]

@TomKMorris I am desperately searching for info on the EPCOT Poll Person of the Century that started in 1990. Do you know of anyone that might have worked on that project? Thanks in advance!

[Defunctland @Defunctland]

@Marnis1971 Thank you! I have not been able to find it anywhere and was wondering if there was more media attached to whatever it came from. If you stumble across anything on Person of the Century let me know. Thanks!

[Defunctland @Defunctland]

@Marnis1971 Hi Martin, I am doing some research into the EPCOT Poll Person of the Century and saw you had the full list of 89 nominees in your Communicore Ultimate Tribute. Do you recall where that came from? Thanks as always for your great work!

To be a company hawking yeast in 1929.

DATE NIGHT AT DISNEYLAND - @disneyland

So stoked to finally share this spec commercial @MaxMagerkurth and I have been developing over the past couple years. Shot over two summers at the parks with the generous help and support of many incredible and talented people. Let’s dance!

It was once an ambitious "sequel park," a theme park designed to be visited only later in the day. Now, it's been abandoned for three times longer than it operated.
Watch The Abandoning of Celebration City now on Defunctland!

[Defunctland @Defunctland]

Should be up in a couple hours absent any issues with YouTube

[Defunctland @Defunctland]

New video today!
