 Walt Disney -- Audioanimatronics (Disney Lies)
Audioanimatronics is the name Disney used to label his proprietary, patented, trademarked, and copyrighted method of making lifelike mechanical figures.
Audioanimatronic (or, more simply, animatronic) figures can be seen, for example, in the Tiki Room, Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, and the town of Stepford, Connecticut.
The word "audioanimatronics" is a combination of three roots: "audio" because the figures are noisy, "animal" because they look like animals, and "tronics" because they are high-tech, just like the movie Tron.
