Disney World is the happiest place on Earth, but a Disney family member does not smile with a new park innovation.
Joanna Miller, granddaughter of the missing Walt Disney, exploded Walt Disney Co. To create an audio-sympatronic version of his beloved grandfather to pay tribute to Disneyland Resort’s 70th anniversary in July.
In a Facebook publication, Miller exploded the park’s new addition as “dehumanizing” and said that the “Robotic Grampa” went against the wishes of family patriarch, who died when he was 10 years old.
“People are not replaceable. You could never get the chance of their conversation,” he wrote in the publication.
The Walt Disney recreation would live at the Opera House on Calle Mayor, USA for a new show, “Walt Disney – in Magical Life”, which hopes to give the plots an idea of ”how it would have been to be in the presence of Walt.”
Miller is one of the few who have actually seen the immortal animatronic, as Disney is notoriously secret about its developments.
“I think I started crying,” Miller recalled his reaction. “I didn’t think he, for me.”
Most today’s animatronics are representative of the company’s film characters or the political figures of real life for the Presidents’ Hall; Most do not speak or move much. The Walt Disney Animatronic entrance promises to be the most realistic, removing the dialogue of his most deliberate and subtle speeches and movements.
Miller, who lives an extremely private life, does not regret calling the company. She is afraid to speak against Walt Disney Co. That the entertainment company could resume to eliminate its access to the park, an agreed advantage when Miller’s late father, Ron W. Miller, left Disney’s CEO in 1984.
“You just start to leave -and you get tired of being calm. So I spoke to Facebook. Just as I was going to do something? The fact that he returned to the company is quite fun,” he told Los Angeles Times.
Miller soon was in person with the current CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, to talk about animatronic.
Miller makes it clear that he does not represent his five brothers or other family members, but, as he emphasized in a letter to Iger, “I speak for my grandfather and my mother.”
Shortly after sharing his concerns on Facebook, she was invited to see the figure in person and sit with Iger and members of Walt Disney Imageering, the back team that gives life to the immersive experiences of the parks.
“It was very kind,” Miller said about the CEO. “Let me make my spiel.”
Miller’s main argument is that his grandfather did not want an animatronic version of himself. Her mother, Diane, founded the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco and rejected a robotic version of Walt.
“In all our research, we have never found a Walt documentation by saying it,” Imagineer Jeff Shaver-Moskowitz said in April. “We know that he is anecdotal and we cannot talk about what he was told privately.”
This is one of the biggest challenges that Miller is against. People who say they understood the walt Disney’s wishes, his parents and his trusted collaborators as the old imagined head, Marty Sklar, have all died. Unless others take a step forward, it is the last direct link with this legacy.
However, Miller is not naive on the situation. In his opinion, the malfunction of the family was to sell the rights to the name, image and similarity of Walt Disney in 1981, a $ 46.2 million agreement that effectively decreased its control.
As a result, the family has little or no influence on how Walt is portrayed in the parks. Imagineering, however, argues that he consulted the Walt Disney family museum and the current descendants of the Council during the development of the animatronic tribute.
