  • is margret a retard?

  • @CharlieOmfg Wow.

  • @CharlieOmfg of all the things to say, you say RETARDED!!!!!!!!! not cool man not cool

  • its a robot thats how ic an imagine it :|]

    

  • @toyworld200 it's not fair that you have your star tours open

  • @TheDisneyFreakist hahah that's funny, well now your star tours is open too! LOL All Disney Parks should have talking characters! I love this! Disney World had a better opening for Star Tours then Disneyland, I'm sorry =( If you haven't seen it, you must watch it on youtube!

  • I hope they do this for other Disney characters. Would be a nice touch.

    Not sure how that would work for Donald Duck though...

  • @OMGulator: Translator?

  • the end is kinda depressing

  • DISNEYLAND IS SO LUCKY! DisneyWorld has no talking Mickey Mouses! O:<

  • @ToyWorld200 they do have one for the dream along with mickey show in MK and they have all the characters like goofy donald and minnie talk too. just got back from disney world

  • This made me cry a little, I'm not even going to lie.

  • 666 likes, until someone likes it jerk ninja

  • That must have been such a magic moment! I can't wait for this technology to be used in all the Disney parks! I want to talk to Mickey!

  • 0-o i told minnie

  • why dosent he talk at the disneyland in anehiam tell me why 8D

  • @dramadiaz1234: The talking characters are still in beta-testing, THAT'S why.

  • This is the most adorable thing I've ever seen!!!

  • That is SO cool !

  • wow the finaly talk now

  • Sweet

  • @softballfreako interesting :D Thanks :D

  • What how where now? HOW!? mechanical or... does the live person inside sound exactly like mickey?? O_O

  • @ngdj999 A voice translator. :) Like Darth Vader helmets have that you can buy. He's got the same inside of the head. And when he talks, the mouth also moves.

  • This just is.. just amazing. Seriously!!! I have watched this SO many times and I still am just flabberghasted. 

  • This is awesome! But there's something special about the characters not talking.. idk. LOL.

  • Then he walks into your home and says ''you still awake princess?''

    lol but cool...but kinda creepy

  • Damn... that's just creepy

  • Wow he actually sounds like Mickey! hehe

  • @LittleMermaid1997 That's because it's all pre recorded by the mickey voice actor. Someone is selecting what he says. It's pretty simple......

  • @BrianMcD86 I would actually disagree. It's a vocal pitch changer. The actor is probably told how nasal or into their head voice they have to speak before some sort of voice changer in their microphone changes it from their voice to Mickey. Names can not be pre-recorded; there are too many unique names in the world to even record and, most likely, this Mickey is visited by a lot. But either way, it doesn't matter how he is able to make sound, all that matters is that this is magic for the kids=3

  • @TBOEandJW The patent for this, at least I think, can change any voice into a character's voice almost instantly.

  • @BrianMcD86 Nope its live... and not pre recorded. Its pretty obvious really, (especially seen as mickey says the little girls name) its the same at Monsters Inc laugh floor at Magic Kingdom, or even the Fountain at Islands of Adventure which talks to guests, often commenting on their appearence and what not.

  • @lucassummers1 You are the closest 

  • Cool I never heard Mickie talk

  • Awesome!!

  • mind...blown!

  • This is AMAZING! Disney doing what they do best :) x

  • @Irharrisjr Who is director P

  • @Gabriel20097159 He said Director Pete.

  • Thumbs up if Carrie Hop Fletcher send you here and you think this is amazing! I Love it! <3

  • loooooooooooooooooooooove this <3

  • I DON'T THINK IT'S CREEPY

  • When I met Mickey (and Minnie!) I wish they had this technology. What REALLY is a bummer is that they introduced it a week AFTER I left Florida...

  • @iloveyouu1312 how is this creepy lol.

  • Director P?

  • @411jvg how is it creepy lol.

  • This makes meeting the characters for little kids more of a reality!

  • I'm a tom-boy so if he calls me a princess I MIGHT whoop his ass and scare the little kids! (Not really I was raised better then that but THAT'S JUST CREEPY!) I grew up with most of my Mickey encounters with sign language now it's HIM SPEAKING BACK! This is a dream come true along with a nightmare come into reality!

  • That is so cool it makes Mickey seem more real like a person great idea!

  • the day that i meet him it will be a dream come true.... Walt must be smiling where ever he is

  • HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY.......... how did he do that?!

  • ok, Someone please give me a somewhat detailed description of how they do this. i get that it might have been prerecorded, but then how did he find out their names and say them right back to them? Also, unlike the stage version where he has to move his fingers to move the mouth & eyes, how is the mouth moving? I do not think the guy inside is talking into a voice simulator, ud be able to hear him. Maybe there is someone backstage talking and working the helmet. but thats bret iwans mickey voice.

  • @clayrox117 it's Disney Magic. That's the best way I can possibly describe it.

  • @Tomahachi12 isnt it true? amen to that! disney truely is magical!

    (im still trying to find out how it works though, haha)

  • It's not hard to find a good actor who can do a Mickey impression, search on youtube there are hundreds, maybe a built in vocaliser to help. The mouth simply moves to sound when the actor is speaking. There is probably only one really good actor hence why it would be so rare to meet him for a limited time.

  • OK I GET THE TAPE RECORDER PART, BUT HOW THE HELL IS HE MOVING THE MOUTH??? LOOKS LIKE THIS THING IS ALIVE LOL.

  • @xPOLACOx Its the magic of Disney :-)

  • I wish that the characters from Alice In Wonderland could talk (e.g. The Queen Of Hearts,The White Rabbit and TweedleDee and TweedleDum),because they're miming and laryngitis drive me nuts.

  • I wish that Geppetto would talk,because I wonder what it would be like if I had a m&g session with him. He's go nuts over my pins on my lanyard,especially the 1 with his son,Pinocchio 2 represent that I'm Italian American. I'd tell him that I named him after 1 of my goldfish's babies.

  • Omg i have nvr been goin march. I hope I see this!

  • oh man I would freak....in a good way...

  • OMG THERES A TALKING MICKEY!!?!?!?!?!!?!?

    HOOOLLYYY S...... scrambled eggs im going next summer.... XD

    which disneyland was it you got ushered into the room?? nice going!! for ya and your family :d

  • Great to see that technology brought to Disneyland now. I remember seeing something like that for Disney World's Christmas lighting.

  • I don't think that all of the Mickeys talk. This appears to be a test run of a new, talking Mickey. If the guests love it (and I think they do), then perhaps we'll start seeing talking characters soon.

  • @TheKodaque I agree but I think also the "magic" comes with a huge cost. 

  • is this disneyland in california??? was this a special day or something??? ive been to disneyland several times and inside mickeys house and never ever have i heard or seen him talk...

  • this was so amazing!

  • HOW THE HELL IS HE TALKING? I MEAN EITHER IT'S A COMPUTER INSIDE SPEAKING, OR THE GUY IS DAMN GOOD AT THE VOICE

  • @xPOLACOx It is a tape recorder with the actor's voice implanted.

  • Oh wow I can't wait till they do this with the other characters! I can imagine Goofy saying "Oh garwsh, I think I blinked!" lol

  • i went and they did had the talking one there i was so dispointed

  • It's about time that they allowed Mickey to talk to his visitors! That looks so awesome!! It makes me want to do it, too!

  • About time

  • Oh my gosh that's so cool! I wonder how many others they are working on... O.O

  • Ohmygoodness! He's talking now :) The magic of Disney is truly amazing :))

  • @seller748 That is really mean and disrespectful i think she is pretty in her own way. Even if she was ugly(which she isnt) dont go saying it to the whole world, and at least she isnt saying mean stuff about people. i think thats really mean

  • @broganandella shut up you love her....

  • @seller748 did you know she has down syndrome 

  • @seller748 At least she doesn't fail at being a human being, douchebag

  • Waiiiiittttt they talk now? LOL..wow..we are headed up to disneyland in the am for a nice week vacay..so they now talk? bc my lil angel acutally cried when mickey would not say anything..LOL...

  • DUDE!!!! They started using this in the Disney Live shows! 'Mickey's Magic Show' uses this same technology, but not just with Mickey! Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy now talk and blink as well!

  • Where does the person playing Mickey see out of in the costume?

  • @UTBRAVESFAN it's none of your bussiness at all!! disney does not want anyone outside the cast to know anything behind the costumed characters!!!!!!! forget about it!!!!!!!!

  • @UTBRAVESFAN Mouth.

  • That's nice.Wow mickey now speaks whenever you visit and talk with him cool.

  • woaaa soo cool!

  • Will Mickey still be able to autograph? I think the classic mute costumes are still the greatest! But having the characters talk to their fans is much more exciting! But I still enjoy the cute classics! I hope the next time I go, Mickey will talk to me!

  • This is freakin' amazing. By the time I have kids and take them I'm sure this will be standards in their parks.

  • I think Mickey found a new crush @ 0:14

  • That is awesome! I wish they had that when I went there

  • this is the future at work

  • Is this still there or was it just tested for a little while? I am going to Disneyland this coming weekend and I'm dying to see this in action!

  • @Napy666 Talking Mickey isn't there at this time. It was only for testing.

  • Way to stay ahead of the technological curve Disney. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 only had this technology in 1991. 

  • Comment removed

  • I bet the Cast members are thrilled about this. They'll finally be able to tell the idiot children to quit punching them. Nicely, of course.

  • omg, i love this.

  • I'd be... kinda intimidated, to be honest, but it's still cool! :3

  • that is really trippy!!!!

  • Can't wait till this becomes the norm at all the parks! 8D

  • Dude...he talks! :D

  • I love this! I am a Mickey & Disneyland fanatic and can't wait to see him in person!

  • YEA ANY GUYS INSTINCT... just dont tell my GF ? aight.. thx

    Even mickey.. lol

  • mickey u pimp!

  • you 2 will be princesses and il be the prince just  dont tell Minnie LOL oh mickey you never get old lol

  • woww. I remember like so many years ago where mickey and such were all silent XD. This is awesome.

  • oh my god mickeys so cute

  • Mickey can TALK?!

    Ok, it's official.

    I HAVE to see Mickey when I go to DL.

  • @AngellMariie sorry but it was a test it all ready done

  • Just don't tell Minnie, Okay? ;)

  • I'm not a Mikey or Disney fan, I rather spend my days in Universal, but is nice to see they are working on this part.

    It is pretty nice and a lot of tech in that head. Must be a pretty nice experience for the kids. Kudos.

  • Excellent job to the guy inside that suit. Best Mickey i have seen so far (apart from the cartoons).

  • OMG i remember my cousin was talking about this they so should do this in ALL the parks!

  • well i will def have to add this to my Disneyland Guide on Youtube. lol

  • Cool! It was never right that these characters didn't talk! One more step forward in the Living Character Initiative. They need to work on his height still though... Ha, he should be like 3 ft tall. These costumes are okay for characters like Baloo and Little John, but they're going to have to go to robotics/animatronics for Mickey and friends!

  • talking mickey now ? :O

  • That's not the least bit freaky. lol

  • i went to disney about 2 weeks ago. They had told me that they were testing talking micky out. however alot of kids were afraid of it so they took it off. It involved a person with a microphone hidden (obviosly) and person in the suit would move the mouth. so it was very complicated. I went thinking that i was going to see this talking Micky but wah wah waaaaaah they went back to mute. Its actually amazing how advance technology is....

  • That's amazing :D

  • Director Pete is on his way now - oh, oh no!

  • So sweet!!!  :D

  • OMG... The formerly silent costume character NOW SPEAKS!

    No longer need Mickey be mute! (Toot-suite!!)

    So now Mickey can speak directly to his fans, just like the humanoid characters (Alice, Cinderella, Aladdin, Jasmine, Belle, Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, Hercules, Capt. Jack Sparrow, etc.)

    They keep this up, there won't be a silent character left in the parks.

    ('Cept maybe Pluto.)

  • @JKSpiero ROFLMAO!

    well they could make pluto bark haha

  • "Just don't tell Minnie" lol cracked me up

  • HOW COOL! I AM IN PURE AMAZEMENT!

  • So if it's all pre-recorded, how can Mickey say your name when you meet him?

  • @TheITinFIT

    If you are referring to my comment from the "highest rated" section, I was NOT saying that this was pre-recorded, I was responding to someone else and I was referring to the "Dream Along with Mickey" show in Florida. :-)

    But yes, the experience in this video is definitely NOT pre-recorded, Mickey is speaking live. :-)

  • lol "HAIII MADDIIEEE" That's cute :)

  • THIS VIDEO MAKES ME SO HAPPY THAT IT SHOWS DISNEYLAND EVOLVING AND GETTING BETTER AND TRYING NEW THINGS!!!

  • woo freaky but cool

  • Oh wow! He sounds exactly like Wayne! But that can't be right, he died before this video was recorded.They should do this for all the costume characters! And..no!..his mouth is moving! Oh, how can you not love Disneyland!

  • is he a robot O_o

  • @sk8tergal513

    He is not a robot. :-)

  • ... Is it wrong that I'm thinking of Pedobear? <:/

  • @lizardlord4k yeah probly lol

  • I personally think that it's truly amazing that Disneyland is getting ahold of technology like this. I've been going to Disneyland for years and while I enjoy the fact that the CMs can convey so much without speaking a single word, I think it makes the experience much more "magical" now that the characters have the possibilty of talking!

    I don't know how others feel about this, but I'm a Disney geek so I love it a lot.

  • @TheKodaque I TOTALLY AGREE!!! This is amazing! <3

  • @TheKodaque Haha, me too.. you said it a lot better than I would :)

  • i dont wanna sound stupid but how is that possible? lol

  • This is too awesome, fans must be getting a kick out of this!

  • wow he actualy he actualy talks to you

  • Thats Cool, They Should Have All Of Them Talking Like That

    Goofy, Minnie Etc

  • that is so cool i just went thair on thursday did not se him talk

  • Comment removed

  • Aaww may 3rd! Right after my birthday I shouldve gone to Disneyland T^T

  • lol dont tell minnie

    

  • what were they talking about at the end

  • whats the new like of technology for disney now? Voice modulators for the characters now?

  • Do you know what would be really funny?

    If some group of people decided to do a prank on Mickey by walking in and not saying anything, just standing there. Imagine Mickey.

    "Hey guys! Ready to have some fun?"

    "...Uh, guys? Ready to have some fun?"

    "....Sorry guys, I can't hear you. Can you please speak a bit louder?"

    ".........Pete! Something is wrong with my hearing! I think I'm going deaf!"

    I so want to try that one day. LOL.

  • XD LOL

  • I love Mickey,but if I was there,it would scare the shit outta me.

  • YAY!!!

  • I'm a little scared...

  • that is actually really neat! would like to see other characters using this. 

  • Would you sleep with a guy with this voice?

  • Umm...kind of disturbing isn't it?? I don't think this'll work. I mean, with the whole 'uncanny valley' thing...

  • WOW HE CAN TALK NOW!?!?!?!

  • the woman when mickey was talking to them when he asked her wat was her name on 0:15 she was touching his arm and mickey kept holding her hand lol "Just don't tell Minnie okay? haha!! CHEESE" but that looked sick when the woman was touching his hand and why did Mickey say "Oh no!" and looks sad and scared? ; _ ; why??? lol but rly why? oh and is this epic mickey?

  • @MsRoxas101 If you didn't realize, the woman had down syndrome. And Mickey was looking sad because the worker was saying that Mickey had to leave..he was acting as if he was sad that he had to leave..:)

  • is he a disneyLAND or disneyWORLD?

  • @MsRoxas101

    This was from Disneyland.

  • @MsRoxas101

    Disneyland CA

    :) Its probbably gonna be at disneyworld tho!

  • I'm telling minnjie! lol jk, I wouldnt do that to you micky! wow, this actually seems more real now, its.. AWESOME!!!

  • omg, this was 2 days after my bday!

  • wow that is absolutely incredible. i think it would be cool for disney to finally have interacting characters like mickey! it would def make the experience more magical- i hope to sometime see it in the future! keep up the good work at disneyland! :)

  • Mickey's cheating on Minnie with 2 girls :O LOL

  • cute video but i think that mickeys face looks a little creepy compared to how he looked originally in the costume but its a good idea...

  • I remember they would say they had a sore throat and they couldn't talk

  • When did they start doing this? That is so neat!

  • @gjunior53

    This was just a test. Mickey is currently back to being silent. But who knows when we might see this kind of thing again. :-)

  • wow i never knew that they can talk !!!

  • hey you can kinda see the cast member talking into a tiny mic the cast member is hidden but this is really cool what they can do with costumes these days asome video.

  • wow i was there and had my picture taken with this talking mickey at first i was a little creeped out but after 5 min i was like this is asome am talking to mickey mouse he even said my name this was the best moment of my life thank you disney for makeing something this cool i will never forget my trip when i got to talk to mickey mouse.

  • THIS. IS. THE BEST THING EVEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
