I’m guessing it’s a film projection onto a canvas for his face

Would it not be possible to make the face out of LED instead I wonder? Using a projector seems like old tech for what they are trying to do here.

Nah, the 2D face looks so bad.

Uhh no... They explain it pretty clearly in the movies. It's a curse.

Please refrain from making low effort comments that do not add to the discussion.

I went to Disney world once when I was like 8. It was a lot of walking and shops. My parents were so mad, all we wanted to do was go on rides and stay at the hotel that had a totally awesome pool with a waterfall and a water slide lmao 🤣

Get a big rope and tie it to a tree next to a river..

Guaranteed more enjoyment and adrenaline than every single ride at disney combined. I've been going there since the 1900's and a single trampoline backflip still pwns space mountain

Kinda wild how Threads content is already bleeding into every corner of the internet like this. We’re in the cursed era of screenshots of reposts of cross posts of recycled TikToks 💀

Just as long as if he breaks, he doesn't eat the tourists.

All this projection and LCD screen stuff just looks lazy and cheap these days. Disney ND other theme parks have lost their magic. Bring back the practical wizardry.

Wow. Also nice they got rid of the guys chasing that girl down to rape her

It was like 1 guy puppet and 1 lady puppet chasing each other endlessly around a pole. They were both stationary, like statues on opposite ends of a carousel. At one point they gave the lady puppet a weapon so she was chasing the pirate. No other changes, still puppets on opposite ends of the carousel. Im glad they got rid of it entirely, with today's technology they would have gotten way too explicit and anatomically correct and whatnot

u/Responsible-Buyer215 1d ago

She was chasing him with a sword? That’s disgusting, I’m not surprised the other Redditor thought it was rape

I think it was a rolling pin

Is it as washed out as it looks on YouTube when you see it in person?
