Many Presidents have appeared at the world's Disney theme parks since the first one opened in 1955, but on November 18, U.S. President Bill Clinton will become the first to speak in Audio-Animatronic form. Walt Disney Imagineering has built a Clinton robot; on that day, the robot will rise from a chair on the stage of a large theater in Walt Disney World in Florida, walk to a lectern and give a four-minute speech to an audience consisting of other presidential robots, and live people as well. Clinton's robot is part of the cast in the Hall of Presidents show, a sober attraction that enlists Audio-Animatronic figures of all the Presidents.
