is this really not hand operated?the movements are so smooth and fast?!@

[axtv321]

@guysytaccount Correct...it's 100% animatronic. It's a unique system that captures live hand controlled programming so it looks amazing! You can see in the wide shot that it's sitting on a pole stand. We did this so you would see there is no puppeteer.

@axtv321 You need to get this monkey to play The P-P-Platypus Song!

[axtv321]

@Ryanteck Great idea! We will be making an animatronic Platypus as well, but having the monkey playing the piano doing my part would be hilarious as the Platypus sings. Hmmm.....

I think I saw this monkey in the second Monkey Island game.. o.O

Great animatronic! XD If only the fingers moved...
