  • The rest of the animatronic’s movements, including hair, body, arms, and tail, continued normally during the clip.
  • The short video spread quickly across social platforms, drawing a mix of jokes and mild concern from Disney fans.
  • Specialty outlets emphasized that such glitches occur with complex Audio-Animatronics that operate continuously and usually receive routine maintenance.
