The animatronic began to appear in the early years of the film development, and the first, black-and-white King Kong (1933) had already presented the shocking public with the effective results of such a methodology.

However, its history can be traced back to a century in the past, linking it to autopsies and mechanical dolls, which are incredibly fashionable in the age of Renewal. And the peaks of the animator's art have reached these days - it's enough to look at the realistic animate head produced for the Armageddec movie (2013). Her face ' s movements create 12 accurate servitudes, of which 10 are controlled by eyes, centuries and eyebrows, and two by lower jaws. The head is entirely self-sufficient: it has a built battery.

An even more impressive animate head was produced by a special impact studio Legacy Effects to promote Siemens Biograph mMR.

The Legacy Effects has been developing animated creatures for a multiplicity of cinema hits, including dinosaurs for a science-fantastic film of 2015, the World War. The last skate shows the work on the moving figure of the apatosaurus, I think it's quite moderate. Living about 150 million years ago, they reached a mass of about 20 tons, in order of the more complex system produced in Legacy Effects, which is otherwise very realistic.
