Can you think of any examples of animatronics? They’re used in many movies. Films like “Jurassic Park,” “E.T. the Extraterrestrial,” and “King Kong” helped make them famous. They were also key in making “Jaws” and “Gremlins.” Even Jabba the Hutt in the original Star Wars films used this technology.
