The clip first surfaced in one of Boyega’s Instagram Stories, and was just so perfect that it was quickly captured and reposted in a more shareable format. Read more…

For over 50 years, Disneyland and its sister parks have been a showcase for increasingly technically proficient versions of its “animatronic” characters.
