The animatronic Olaf debuted at Disneyland Paris. And then promptly DIED at Disneyland Paris in the most hilariously dramatic way possible.

RIP (2026 - 2026)

Congratulations; ELIZA is now your therapist.

Give her your answer, do. #Defunctland #DaisyBell

As critical as I am of generative AI, this is reminding me of how cool robots can actually be and what we do with them and could do if allowed. The amount of stuff Disney did is mind-bogglingly cool. #defunctland

#Disney's Living Character Initiative, is a dedicated effort to populate Disney's theme parks with free-roaming, interactive, mechanical beings. It was touted as the future of theme parks, so how'd it go? Nightmare fuel still burning. #Defunctland

*Finally* finished the newest #Defunctland

That was a TRIP

"...and to be clear, that's 'gaze' with a 'z'" 😂

Dead. #Defunctland

My dad dropped a BOMBSHELL ON ME TODAY. I showed him the latest #defunctland video because he worked at Disneyworld for a long time and also worked for R&D, and APPARENTLY, HE TOOK THIS PHOTO @28:13

from "The Awful Wiggles Dark Ride:" "In less than a decade, the big red car ride had devolved into a truly awful ride experience."

from "Disney's Living Characters: A Broken Promise:" "Remy was touted as the smallest animatronic ever created... the Disney press release stated that 'the 40-minute experience provides guests an up-close encounter with the Ratatouille star as he laughs, sniffles and even flirts with his new friends.' Why are they ALL like this?" (in this documentary there's a running gag about how Disney puppeteers frequently make their characters flirt with park guests).

from "the Bizarre Garfield Dark Ride:" "As an emailer so eloquently put it, "Garfield knows all of your sins." (the Garfield's Nightmare Ride was built on the Old Mill, a tunnel-of-love ride known to be a popular spot for couples to make out in at Kennywood park)

from "Disney's Living Characters: A Broken Promise:" "Maybe the definition of a Living Character is just a guy hitting on you from a distance using technology?" The giant knight robot from the show Knights of Guinevere has been given a speech bubble with a quote from a Mr. Potato Head animatronic that got caught in a loop repeating "anyone? anyone? anyone?" (In the K.o.G show the giant knight robot was being flirty with the main characters, similar to the flirty puppets in the Defunctland documentary)

I made some screenshot edits juxtaposing @defunctland.bsky.social quotes with Knights of Guinevere scenes. I hope this isn't too confusing to those who don't watch as much Youtube as I do. #knightsofguinevere #defunctland #animatronics #shitpost #collage #garfield #glitchproductions

#defunctland imagine if the massive dino bot made it out of R&D and into the parks and would flirt with you

A screenshot from the Defunctland video "Disney's Living Characters: A Broken Promise" of a creepy robot staring past the viewer with on screen text saying "Realistic and Interactive Robot Gaze". Kevin, the narrator, just seconds earlier, said this out loud, before clarifying that he means "gaze" with a "Z", as shown by the captions.

Kevin is locked the fuck in on his audience because we fucking said "Gays?" out loud before this clarification had us fucking screaming

Defunctland returns with an even deeper dive into Disney's ill-fated animatronic ambitions With deep apologies to Mr. Beast, Defunctland is easily one of the most fascinating channels on YouTube. Who doesn't like multi-hour deep dives into the many mistakes of the weird, expensive theme park industry? The only caveat is that there are often months or even years between videos, but when they arrive, they _arrive_. — Read the rest The post Defunctland returns with an even deeper dive into Disney's ill-fated animatronic ambitions appeared first on Boing Boing.

#defunctland if I were doing the Stitch living character meet, I'd take it very seriously now that the movie is out and the character is close to my heart. I'd memorize the alien phrases he uses and their meanings and sprinkle that in. And acquire encyclopedic knowledge of all Lilo & Stitch canon.

He's so me!

Working my way though the newest #Defunctland and the argument about the raccoon is KILLING me right now 😂

(Wait, they had a LIVE RACCOON in a theme park show with human actors at one point??)

Photo of a Mickey Mouse costume staring into a theatre makeup mirror, captioned: When the performer looks into the mirror and rather than seeing their own reflection they see a picture-perfect Mickey, who duplicates their movements exactly yet speaks on his own accord with a voice that is not their own, does this result in an immediate mental breakdown, or is there a delay?

A pen drawing of brandy the st. Bernard next to a Cobb Salad handwich, a sandwich cone previously sold at the Disney theme parks in the 80s and 90s. Text above and below reads HAND WICH and glowing yellow lines come off of the handwich.

It's the sandwich of the future of the past!

Holy shit, I’ve seen a lot of stuff in my life, but I’ve never seen anything like Michael Eisner trying to speak #French while cutting the ribbon at the opening of #EuroDisney 😵‍💫

It’s in the first 20 seconds of this #Defunctland video if you’re curious: youtu.be/SFE8RlKlLCE?...

Well, i lived in #Texas for the better part of 30 years, visited #SixFlags probably a hundred times over the decades, and I didn’t know until this very moment from this #Defunctland video, that one of the “Six Flags Over Texas” was - you guessed it! - the Confederate Flag 🤦‍♀️
