This is the original preshow to the Alien Encounter attraction, starring Phil Hartman as a bumbling presentation robot for XS Tech. In this version, the preshow tries to establish XS Tech as a bunch of incompetents. Skippy emerges as the defacto hero of the show, unlike the revised version in which he was deliberately (and rather sadistically, I thought) fried by the blatantly evil robot voiced by Tim Curry. Enjoy.

A remarkably lifelike Audio-Animatronics figure of President Barack Obama enters the spotlight in a revised and refreshed Hall of Presidents show when it reopens July 4 in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort.

Pulitzer-Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin helped develop the show with Disney Imagineers. In this video they talk about the Hall of Presidents: A Celebration of Libertys Leaders.
