You don't really have muscles in your wrist though, you just have a bunch of tendons spread across the bone joint so all the wrist movement can be done by the muscles in your forearm.

Ok, so let me get this straight. So we have "pneumatic", "hydraulic" and "electronic" for use in our animatronics actuators, RIGHT? Shouldn't they also be calling them "animatics" and "anidraulics" as well? Just saying.

Do you think Thay will make Ray the Firefly a animatronic character meet-and-greet

Is this the Twilight zone?? Where is there a Pascal or Davy Jones anamatronic??
