While this is something that is several years away, one day when we go to Disneyland, we may find ourselves walking and engaging with robot Disney characters! While I think this is extremely cool and something I’d love to see, it’s also kind of terrifying!
Hopefully, the robots don’t turn on the guests and start killing them.
