So the pixar lamp is taking over the stunt industry....🤔

Great so the robot uprising will now have ninjas. We don't stand a chance.

The had the opportunity to call them AcroBOTS but didn’t. 0/10 wouldn’t recommend

[jmlee]

Imagine enjoying Avengers 7 or something and when the credits roll all actors’ name you see is like Stunt Robot 1, Stunt Robot 2, 3, ...

[UserRedZero]

This is NOT a profession I expected to be vulnerable to automation.

Disney can create as many stun robots as they want but one thing is for certain they will never and I mean never be able to top Jackie Chan

Little does he know.. the robot is learning his work and will eventually take over completely..by 2030.

Arnold schwarzenegger: Ahh sh*t here we go again.

[eeehmmwhat]

Imagine this mofo jumping from a building with a weapon and chasing you

[lobetec]

That stickman thing looks like the pixar lamp..

[AAvfx]

Actors are already facing hard times, so I can only imagine what will happen in a decade.

[nyamekyeakosah]

Well it’s been nice knowing you all, the robots are getting more advanced 😂

[gethecked]

Do you want a Terminator because this is how you get a Terminator

3020: how Disney took over the world with their robots

[AudreyBradford]

Half of me likes the idea because now robots can do the life threatening stunts.
The other half doesn't like that these robots will eventually take peoples jobs....
And this video is 3 years old...

[JenaRaschka]

I’d honestly be okay with these if they prevented a lot of stunt people deaths

[widowmakerx]

The Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland is about to get much, much cooler!

[xehanortjostar]

*Robots can Naruto Run*

Humanity:”Guess I’ll die”

[Menace-cj]

RIP to people who were planning on being stunt doubles

[filmmaker]

I can see this in the upcoming Marvel Land, for a show every 30 minutes. Imagine Spiderman flying over the rooftops and doing amazing stunts! Have actors perform the rest. It would be difficult for a stunt performer to repeat that stunt 20 times each day.
