Does Abraham Lincoln’s Hand Size Matter? #disney #disneyparks #disneyshorts

“You know, he can’t do that with his big hands. When you’re gone, he has a pair of little hands that he gets out of the drawer. He uses those to do his tiny work.” - Walt Disney, commenting on how Jack Ferges could make such miniature models despite his large hand size 😂

Jack was a former football player who worked as an assistant to Blaine Gibson, and was also the one who created the models for the Museum of the Weird by Rolly Crump.

If you’re looking for these early models of Mr. Lincoln, you can find the audio animatronic in Hollywood Studios inside One Man’s Dream and the blueprints/frame/sculpture in the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Fransisco.

I would think that his hat and beard size would matter even more

Of your Mrs. Lincoln or President Lincoln's bed dude? Then, yeah, I'd say his hand size matters 😅

It's too bad they didn't go for an accurate Lincoln voice. He didn't sound like any of the movie or TV or Disney versions. There are Lincoln reenactors who do the correct voice and everybody who sees and hears the correct voice is shocked he sounded nothing like the movies.
