Fritz Winter is upon us. This was always one of my favorite winter-time cartoons. Enjoy.

Can't wait to see more of this figure. The facial movements look pretty good. According to this YouTube post, "The old Lincoln figure had 6 functions in the face, but this new one includes 10. Lincoln's mouth is now able to form vowels such as "O"."
I remember learning about the "F" lip movement when I first started to work on animatronic heads and always thought that was cool.
While we are on the topic of this historic and iconic AA figure, I'll share one of my personal experiences with ol' Abe. Back in high school I occasionally worked at the Mad Hatter shop on Main Street. There was a stock closet to the right of the stage. For some reason we thought it was funny to put silly hats on the former president and take pictures. Hilarious, I know. We'd sit on his lap and stuff. Aside from goofing around, I'd stand next to the thing in awe.
Sometimes I'd sneak in and sit in the back of the dark theater as Imagineers worked on Mr. Lincoln. One time I watched them program the figure with an electric piano keyboard. I felt like I was watching some Disney Channel behind-the-scenes special where they show animatronics without headskins or clothes.
Admin You have to check out what these guys did just before the the doors to future-living were shut forever at Epcot's masterpiece attraction, Horizons. Hoot and Chief did what we all have wanted to do but never dared. They jumped out of moving Horizons vehicles and experienced the elaborate sets and animatronic figures up close and personal- not once but multiple times. Masa Verde Times showcases their amazing story with incredible (and hilarious) videos and photos.
