Disney outsources its audio-animatronics

Actually, they've been doing a lot of outsourcing of it for a while, but this marks a formal close-down of their own internal AA works in favor of long-term partner Garner Holt.

While there's a bit of wistfulness there, this doesn't bother me too, too much. Disney still seems to be doing audio-animatronics, and I don't see CG replacing it any time soon for most purposes in its parks.  As long as Disney maintains the iron grip on its subs that it's known for, I have no big worries here.
