Magic Kingdom enhances Disney magic

[GreenLantern13]

Dream Along with Mickey, the current castle stage show over at Magic Kingdom, has become the first to implement a state of the art enhancement seen only in Mickey's Magic Show lines up to now. It certainly looks promising.

For those having trouble seeing the video, load this VLC player. Since I loaded it I have yet, had trouble watching MP4 videos.

I watched it live at the Kingdom yesterday. I was crying with joy actually seeing the characters talk and blink for the first time. For the first time, I felt like I was actually seeing Mickey, Minnie etc live and in person, not people in suits. I give Iger props for taking a chance on this technology.

Can you imagine them doing this with ALL the mask characters in the park? Use voice changer tech or something and have them do meet-and-greets?

Thanks for posting the google video, this is really cool to see them actually move their mouths and eyes.
