Animatronics on Display

[furtech]

There was an article in the Times about the display of animatronic creatures on display at the Academy of Motion Pictures A&S. Looks like a good show: all kinds of creatures from the last twenty years or so on display. Some are in perfect condition, others are "skinned" to show off the mechanics inside. I think the admission may be free or a small "donation" at the door. If you're in town, take a look!

Here's the site:

EDIT:
For you fans of the Movie "Labyrinth", there's going to be a screening with props and discussions with members of the Henson Company:

Aww, thank you! I was hoping to come out of there with at least an honorable mention for individual presentation that I worked really hard on, but oh well... Guess they don't know how hard it is to keep to scripted movement in a fursuit? ::laughs:: Oh well, it was fun regardless, and I am quite ecstatic with the award I did receive. Your Yakitate skit was great as well! Hope to meet up with you soon (face-to-face of course! Or, if the situation calls, fur-to-fur). I'll continue to watch your LJ. You're on my friends list!
