Disney’s Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Ride Introduces Next-Generation Audio-Animatronics

The soon-to-debut Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, promises to feature some of the most advanced audio-animatronics that the Disney company has ever produced, in large part due to a collaboration between Disney’s Imagineering and feature animation divisions.

“This is the first time we’ve done a full 3-D design and delivery process on any of our audio-animatronics figures,” says Ethan Reed of Disney Imagineering. “It’s enabled us to do things with characters that we’ve never been able to do before like working with Walt Disney Animation Studios.
