Watch: Disney’s BidenBot Is Officially on Duty

After months of preparations, Walt Disney World’s Hall of Presidents was lastly set to reopen on Tuesday with a brand new star taking middle stage: RoboBiden. Clips taken of the forty sixth president’s wrinkly animatronic doppleganger present him proudly reciting the Oath of Office whereas standing among the many likes of Ulysses S. Grant, James Buchanan, and Franklin Pierce.

“I, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,” the bot recites. “And will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States—so help me god.”

Some parkgoers have already began sharing movies of the animatronic in motion. See for your self:

The new addition to the robotic Hall of Presidents—which has been a Disney mainstay ever for the reason that 1964 World’s Fair in New York—is actually much less controversial than the final face added up there. When Donald Trump’s animatronic was added to the stage not lengthy after he was sworn into workplace, rumors started swirling that his robotic wouldn’t characteristic any dialogue, since most sound bites that includes the forty fifth president usually included some sort of racist/sexist/offensive garbage. While the Disney workers was one way or the other capable of scrounge collectively some type of interesting dialogue for his or her TrumpBot, Biden’s go-to strains are, er, usually simpler to abdomen.

If you watch any of the videos folks have recorded of RoboBiden’s debut, you possibly can nonetheless see Trump’s visage to the far higher left of the stage, standing proper behind James Buchanan. And whereas followers have repeatedly asked Disney’s rank and file about eradicating Trump from the corridor solely, the corporate was cautious to notice throughout their preliminary debut of the BidenBot that his predecessor wouldn’t be leaving the stage. Squeezing him right into a nook appears like a compromise.
