Shock at Disneyland: Walt Disney's Granddaughter and Ex-Imagineers Condemn Bob Iger's "Dehumanizing" Choice
- Disneyland California plans to debut an animatronic Walt Disney in July 2025 for the park's 70th anniversary inside the Main Street Opera House.
- This project follows the company's goal to honor Walt Disney, despite his granddaughter Joanna Miller’s repeated requests to cancel it because it contradicts his wishes.
- The animatronic figure will be featured in a new Disneyland exhibit called Walt Disney – A Magical Life, designed to give visitors an experience akin to being in Walt Disney’s presence.
- Joanna Miller called the figure a "robotic grampa” and described the project as “dehumanizing,” stating, “People are not replaceable” and that her grandfather hated such immortalization.
- Miller’s opposition underscores family division and raises concerns that the animatronic could harm Walt Disney’s legacy rather than preserve it authentically.
