There’s just so much information here I gave up on trying to write a summary of all this.
Everything you need to know is in this video from the D23 Expo:
new Hall of Presidents open
by MadWatchStudios on Jul.09, 2009, under Disney Parks
Over the 4th of July weekend I headed over to Magic Kingdom to check out the updates to the Hall of Presidents, now with Barack Obama. The new digital projection was the first thing I noticed. The images moving between the three screens were seamless, and I didn’t see any pixelation from my seat in the front row (possibly using the new 4k resolution DLP?). It’s been a while since I’ve seen the show, so I’m not sure how much movement to the animatronics was new, but all the presidents had a lot of subtle movements. When the narrator would say a President’s name, the spot-light would move to them, and several of the animatronics would look over in that direction – occasionally a President standing close to the one just announced would give a respectful nod. Obama’s animatronic was impressive, as expected.
Here is some video I found online (the audio is slightly out of sync in the video).
