Custom Animatronic Characters

Start with a character only you could imagine.

Your character might begin as a brand mascot, a holiday story, or an idea for a themed attraction. Bring your concept to Roy Bull to discuss whether a custom animatronic project is feasible and what it would take to develop the right display.

Write the character brief first

Describe who the character is, what guests should notice, and what it needs to do. Reference artwork, approximate dimensions, preferred materials, and a clear use case give the discussion a practical starting point.

Define movement before appearance is finalized

A waving arm, a turning head, and a coordinated performance create different engineering requirements. Establish the desired actions, control approach, sound, and operating environment before treating the visual design as final.

What to include in your project brief

  • Concept art and character usage rights
  • Size, appearance, and requested movements
  • Controls, audio, and guest interaction goals
  • Budget, development milestones, and delivery target

Share your venue location and target opening date with Roy Bull so available options, project scope, and timing can be reviewed together.

What should I send for a custom animatronic inquiry?

Send sketches or references, intended use, dimensions, desired movement, venue location, budget range, and target date. Feasibility, scope, pricing, and production timing require review before a project can be confirmed.
