So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate the theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going?

The Electronic Forum had three elements in 1990. The Future Choice Theater (the EPCOT Poll with the buttons in the arm rests), the World News Center (TV banks showing news) and the Person of the Century terminals.

Does anyone have ANY information on this. Do you remember doing or seeing the Person of the Century poll, and if you do, do you remember when your trip was? Every confirmation of a Person of the Century poll between March of 1991 and 1996 will help greatly.

I should clarify, while I appreciate everyone’s comments, we’ve been researching this for quite a while, so we’re really looking for first or second hand accounts not currently available online.

Have been researching a very specific EPCOT Center attraction and am resorting to shouting into the ether for help. So please ignore this if you don't know or care about EPCOT Center. But if you do...

DATE NIGHT AT DISNEYLAND - @disneyland So stoked to finally share this spec commercial @MaxMagerkurth and I have been developing over the past couple years. Shot over two summers at the parks with the generous help and support of many incredible and talented people. Let’s dance! – at Anaheim, CA

It was once an ambitious "sequel park," a theme park designed to be visited only later in the day. Now, it's been abandoned for three times longer than it operated. Watch The Abandoning of Celebration City now on Defunctland!

Two crows were filmed eating Rapunzel’s hair at Tokyo DisneySea. The animatronic has since been removed.

For years, I have been working on a documentary project about the history of children's birthdays, and I am again putting out a call to anyone willing to share photos and videos from their childhood birthday for us to possibly use in the film. More details below!

I first did a call for birthday media a few years ago. I initially envisioned this as a short video, but the submissions were some of the most beautiful, touching, funny, and human artifacts I had ever seen, and I knew it had to be something more to do this justice.

This is the biggest project (in terms of production, not runtime) that we've done yet, and we are grateful to anyone that will consider helping us in our search for more birthday media. Thank you and take care!
