Disney World ditches animatronic potentially offensive to alcoholics

Published



Walt Disney World reopened one of its attractions on Wednesday following a six-month refurbishment, though one animatronic character, Liver Lips McGrowl, was noticeably absent from the lineup.

The character, which had been one of 18 animatronic bears at the “Country Bear Jamboree” in Magic Kingdom, had been part of the attraction since 1971, when Disney World first opened in Florida. In January, the attraction was closed to undergo refurbishment, reopening Wednesday with a new character, Romeo McGrowl, in place of Liver Lips McGrowl.
