By Robert Niles: Disney's now released its own video of the talking Mickey Mouse walk-around character at Disneyland (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/disneyland/):
This comes after a tourist posted a YouTube video of the previously unannounced test:
Disney in recent years has been developing voice interaction with its guests, as seen in attractions such as Turtle Talk with Crush (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/epcot/turtle_talk_with_crush/) and the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/walt_disney_world's_magic_kingdom/monsters,_inc._laugh_floor/). But a talking Mickey's the ultimate for Disney, and the initial tests look impressive.
So far, the talking Mickey is available only in Mickey's House (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/disneyland/mickey's_house/) in Toontown, and at selected, unannounced times. And if you do luck out and see the talking Mickey, Disneyland's now making visitors sign "no filming" waivers first, too.
