"The 2,000-pound Walt Disney animatronic at Disneyland weighs 10 times as much as the average American man and a thousand pounds more than the 9-foot-tall Frankenstein's monster animatronic that just debuted at Florida's Epic Universe theme park. It's a lot of machinery, according to Walt Disney Imagineering's Jeff Shaver-Moskowitz. It's 2,000 pounds of an Audio-Animatronic figure that steps and rises during its performance."
"The impressive Walt animatronic appears to walk toward the audience as he puts his hands on the edge of the desk, leans forward and takes a couple steps. The robotic Walt weighs 10 times as much as the 199-pound average American man, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.

A 2,000-pound Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic now greets visitors at Disneyland and performs stepping and rising motions. The figure weighs roughly ten times the 199-pound average American and about 1,000 pounds more than a 9-foot Frankenstein animatronic at Epic Universe. The $5 million Walt Disney: A Magical Life animatronic show debuted in July in the Main Street Opera House for Disneyland's 70th anniversary. Imagineering aimed to create the most life-like animatronic and produced the world's first robotic figure of Walt Disney that leans on a desk and takes steps toward the audience. The Walt figure far exceeds other park animatronics in mass.
