When I was little I was a bit scared of the animal heads on the wall of country bear jamboree. Things like that creeped me out.
I will have to think a bit longer to decide my favourite anamatronic but these probably deserve an honorary mention for the jokes about it within the family since then.
The Dad on the Carousel of Progress. One of my very favorite rides.
Speaking of re-used audio-animatronics (as Main Street Jim was earlier), I'm almost certain that one of the minstrels in the Renaissance segment of Spaceship Earth is a recycled Dad from CoP.
He looks just like him.

Yeah, those guys. I wasn't even that young (about 8) but at the end of the show I was a bit nervous walking under them. I am 24 now and my family still think it is funny.
Definitely Stitch! I love how his ears and back spikes move, and how he squints.

There's a pirate in pirates of the caribbean with his hairy leg dangling off a bridge. That's my favorite one. Years ago on resort TV they did an overview of the rides and they showed the leg with a voice over saying "see the hairy leg!". It's always fascinated me for some reason.

Same for me! I still marvel at the detail whenever I ride Pirates of the Caribbean.

This is a good question! I will say my favorite are the tiki birds. Just so classic.
I was having a hard time thinking of my favorite when I came across Natalie's post.
My favorite are the tiki gods in the tiki room. They are so simple, funny and the way the show is designed, their singing and participation is a delightful surprise. I always look forward to their part of the show.
Definitely Stitch! I love how his ears and back spikes move, and how he squints.
Amen! I always defend that attraction from the haters on here simply because he is the most amazing AA in the parks. Well, the most amazing one that works (Yeti, RIP).
