Disney Parks at SXSW
During The Art & Science Behind Disney’s Timeless Storytelling panel at SXSW Disney presented their innovations in development in the form of a robot prototype, made by the team behind the Spider-Man robot at Avengers Campus that web slings above the crowds. This one is smaller and looks to be a part of the Shanghai Disneyland Zootopia expansion. Parks chairman Josh D’Amaro shared, “Disney’s 100-year legacy is built on the intersection of creativity, innovation, and storytelling,” he said. “We want to invent the future once again – together – drawing on a range of voices and perspectives that will help us continue to create even more happiness around the world.” Which, sounds great as long as we don’t give these rabbit robots any fuller sentience.
Hulk just dropped by! Did you know that Disney Imagineers borrowed design features from the anatomy of an ostrich for inspiration for creating the legs of this unique exoskeleton? #SXSW pic.twitter.com/kzz0hL5nqy
