 Who's Your Fave?
Howdy to all my fellow Intercotees!  I have been on a long hiatus from here, but now I'm back, from outer space...You just walked in to find me sitting here with...wait, where was I?
Oh yeah: So, to jump back in, I thought I'd ask an opinion question. One of my favorite animatronic characters is Trixie, the large wine-holding singing bear in CBJ. It may be a nostalgia thing for my childhood  , but I was in love with her then and now. And I always wonder about the liquid in her glass. Is it sealed? Or do they refresh her glass every night? Hmm...
So which animatronic figure is your favorite? Try to just name one specific one instead of a group of them.
Tears will be the chaser for your wine...
GO!

From a former CBJ Cast Member: it's "sealed" 
Interesting note on Trixie: did you know that Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe' is a "spare" Trixie? Instead of coming up with a completely new animatronic for Sonny, the Imagineers had to save money. So they used a "spare" that was just sitting around Central Shops

I don't know that I could just name *one*.
The alien in "Alien Encounter" was pretty amazing.
Anything in CoP
The redhead. 
Jack Sparrow is pretty awesome.
All of the Presidents in HoP.
American Adventure's Ben Franklin, as he "walks".
Too many to name just one

The yeti!
No I kid really ... lol 
For me it's definitely the Abe Lincoln animatronic in Hall of Presidents. He was so advanced for his day and he really represents the dawn of audio-animatronic development by Disney (a la Great Moments With Mr Lincoln).

I do believe the current Lincoln in Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln is again the most advanced AA. He's incredible.
I also will say the Wicked Witch in the a Great Movie Ride.

This is easy. C-3PO!!! As a longtime StarWars/George Lucas fan, for a character to come to life and even pilot my Star Speeder, that's just too cool.

Not sure if this is what you mean... but of anyone (that I don't know personally,) George Washington is by far the greatest person to ever live. So I'll say him in both HoP and The AA.

Not necessarily the most advanced or most impressive, but my favorite is Sonny Eclipse for the nostalgia. I have such fnd memories of having meals with him as a child and what a kick we got out of him (particularly my dad in my memories...and in fact I'm pretty sure he still loves Sonny) that he is still a favorite and I make a point of having a meal with Sonny every trip.

Yes, he was so amazing-and realistic! Besides him, my other favorite was the previously mentioned Timekeeper from the now defunct attraction where Buzz Lightyear is. The voice was Robin Williams. For now, I like the drunken man with the hairy legs that sits above the boat in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor is where TimeKeeper used to be. Buzz Lightyear inhabits the old "If You Had Wings/DreamFlight" attraction building.
