Bill Robinson’s Robotics and Animatronics
RULE YOUR WORLD, ONE ROBOT AT A TIME - IF YOU DARE!
AnimalTronics StoryTime Theater
A favorite, exciting project was AnimalTronics StoryTime Theater, in a shopping mall, where parents could escape from the children – or children from their parents! – and enter a world of classical fairy tales, brought to life by fully-preprogrammed animatronic robots.
On the far-left stage was the storyteller, Mother Goose, and her pet parrot, Augie. On the far-right stage was their friend Chester, a raccoon that visited during story time every day. When Mother Goose told the story, it was acted out by animatronic characters on the middle stage, bringing to life the unfolding fairy tail.
Please play the videos of the Behind the Scenes (run time 19:11), where you’ll see how the animatronics robots were “brought to life,” and then watch them perform Hans Christian Andersen's “The Traveling Companion” (run time 23:32).
