AnimeTronics (Johnsonverse)

AnimeTronics are a type of animatronic originated by Johnson Industries in 2010. Despite their name, they have been used for non-anime characters as well.

The first version of the AnimeTronics technology was first used in the World of Tokyo theme park, before making its way to other Johnson theme parks, notably Harveyland USA, which used it for characters from the Richie Rich, Little Audrey, Little Dot, Little Lotta, and Casper the Friendly Ghost series in the attraction A Tour of the Rich Mansion with Richie and Friends. It also began seeing use in McDonaldland USA, namely for characters such as Grimace, Birdie, and Hamburglar.

The second version debuted at ShowBiz Pizza Place locations in the Japanese states in 2016, produced in collaboration with Walt Disney Imagineering and Creative Engineering, Inc., for the cast of K-On!, which replaces the Rock-Afire Explosion in said locations.
