Disology 24:  No Strings Attached: Digital Puppetry and the Secrets of Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor and Turtle Talk with Crush (Featuring Chris from Orlando)

Rachel and Sam go through the history of digital puppetry technology, how it’s applied to the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor and Turtle Talk with Crush attractions at the Disney parks, and its surprising connections to another (non-digital) puppet-based attraction. Plus, Rachel sits down with former cast member Chris from Orlando to learn more about the secrets of the Laugh Floor.

Send us your funny/sweet/memorable stories from either attraction to [email protected] and we’ll feature it in our next minisode!
