"A remarkably lifelike Audio-Animatronics figure of President Barack Obama enters the spotlight in a revised and refreshed Hall of Presidents show when it reopens July 4 in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort. The addition of the countrys 44th chief executive is just part of the most significant update to this classic attraction since its 1971 debut in the parks Liberty Square.

Pulitzer-Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin helped develop the show with Disney Imagineers. In this video they talk about the Hall of Presidents: A Celebration of Libertys Leaders."

I'd heard that Obama's face doesn't look right, and that seems to be the case judging from the video, but the movements do look pretty natural. All U.S. presidents are featured.

There was some technical trouble with the Robobama's hands. It was supposed to hold a copy of the Constitution but kept ripping it in half.

It's nothing short of a miracle that there's anything left of it at all after the Bush administration.

They didn’t seem to get the facial features right, but it is really remarkable how the body and hand movements seem so life like and natural. They really have come a long way with the technology.
