Today, I had an interaction with my colleague @PSchrags both on and off the air that I regret. I have apologized to Peter and taken accountability with ESPN leadership. I value working with Peter and look forward to this season. My focus will remain on professionalism, teamwork,…

@drewthedisneydude Walt Disney Imagineering just revealed a next-generation robotic character representing Olaf, the beloved snowman from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen. This debut marks a new chapter in Disney character innovation, one where technology, storytelling, and collaboration come together to bring screen to reality. From the way he moves to the way he looks, every gesture and detail is crafted to reflect the Olaf audiences have seen in the film — alive, curious, and unmistakably himself. As for his snow-like shimmer that catches the light just like fresh snow, this was enhanced by iridescent fibers. These details make Olaf one of the most expressive and true-to-life characters built, and he’s soon making his debut at Disney Parks. Walt Disney Imagineering collaborated closely with the film’s original animators at Walt Disney Animation Studios to ensure every gesture felt true to the character. To make Olaf as authentic as possible, Imagineers used a branch of artificial intelligence called reinforcement learning, pushing the limits of hardware to achieve the creative intent of the artists. Olaf’s “snow” also moves differently than the hard shells of other robotic characters, and he can fully articulate his mouth, eyes, and removable carrot nose and arms. Most importantly, Olaf can speak and engage in conversations, creating a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Olaf will soon greet Guests in World of Frozen, coming soon to Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris, and World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. #DisneyParks #DisneyAnimation #Frozen #Frozen2 #Olaf ♬ original sound - Drew Smith
While the BDX droids — the Star Wars free roaming robotic characters that mimic movements in a simulation — have been interacting with guests for a while now, Olaf presents a far greater challenge: an animated character with non-physical movements. To make Olaf as authentic as possible, the team used a branch of artificial intelligence called reinforcement learning, pushing the limits of hardware to achieve the creative intent of the artists.It takes humans years to master walking and even longer to perform graceful motions. Deep reinforcement learning helps him acquire these skills in a fraction of the time.Olaf’s “snow” also moves differently than the hard shells of other robotic characters, and he can fully articulate his mouth, eyes, and removable carrot nose and arms.

A man wearing scuba gear reportedly stole as much as $20,000 from the Paddlefish restaurant at Disney Springs, then jumped into the water and escaped before deputies arrived early Monday morning, according to two restaurant employees who were tied up during the burglary. pic.twitter.com/9ZLYzol5nE

Reportedly swam up, restrained the employees, and swam away with over $10,000
Also I'm sure no one's gonna get this because it's intentionally distorted and I definitely got the grammar wrong, but the huttese at the beginning of the credits song basically says "I was disappointed by the price"

It's apparently been replaced by a properly sculpted one. From his substack:
The imagineer closed with a fascinating bit of Disney animatronic trivia
Alot [sic] of people hear that Disney has a new animatronic, and they think it’s getting designed somewhere from scratch in a Swiss lab. For some of the more advanced ones, that’s definitely the case but for most of them, it’s much more like Dr. Frankenstein’s lab. They’ll repurpose and put together existing heads and appendages for new rides or if they need spare parts. There’s an old attraction called Ellen’s Universe of Energy. It was a really long ride, and I’ll bet there were at least a dozen Ellen Degeneres animatronics. After the ride closed down, they didn’t throw out those Ellens. They repurposed them. I know they put a beard and probably an eyepatch on at least one and moved it into one of the background scenes of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.So just because it appears Hilary is no longer hiding underneath a latex Trump mask in The Hall of Presidents, it doesn’t mean she couldn’t be hiding elsewhere in the park

Along with dozens of other titles, the first season of Y will be removed from Hulu (likely never to be available anywhere else again) this Friday, May 26
“I discontinued all writing and writing-related work on Andor prior to midnight, May 1. After being briefed on the Saturday showrunner meeting, I informed [co-chair of the WGA’s negotiating committee] on Sunday morning that I would also be ceasing all non-writing producing functions,” Gilroy said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
...
On Friday afternoon, THR reported that studios including Disney had sent letters to showrunners demanding that they continue their contractually obligated non-writing services amid the strike.

From an article focusing on Marvel's Yelenova Belova character:
Another way Marvel shrinks payments is by classifying some film appearances as “cameos.” According to sources, if a character appears for less than 15 percent of screen time, that’s considered a cameo — and thus its creators are due less money. By that standard, Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier, a character key to Captain America: Civil War, would be considered a cameo; he appeared in 22 minutes (just under 15 percent) of its 2 hour, 28 minute run time. Ditto for Captain America, who appeared for less than 7 minutes, 30 seconds of Avengers: Infinity War.
One potential money saver for Marvel is the world of video games, which every year eclipses the box office in terms of entertainment market share. According to sources, Marvel will pay creators for character appearances on console games only — not mobile games, a segment gaming observers note is on a fast rise and one source likens to being offered VHS royalties in an era in which Blu-ray is about to be the dominant force.

ABC:
About 2,000 jobs are slated to move from California to Orlando’s Lake Nona community. The Disney campus will be home to imagineers and other professionals
...
Disney is on track to get more than $570 million in tax credits to move the jobs here. The capital investment tax program would be spread over 20 years. It would be among the largest tax breaks in state history for a single corporation.
Although I suppose pretty much anyone attending Starcruiser this early is influential in some way. A sampling:

Yeah there's no way in hell that's happening. We did a bunch of overtly first order stuff in the app and in person and then were handed resistance intel for no reason. We were like I guess we'll try this storyline then, but all the story moments were too crowded to interact with
