Description
Advanced Animations produces animatronics and decor for theme parks, restaurants, trade shows and educational purposes. They have worked for big clients like Six Flags, Universal and Disney and are perhaps best known for their animatronic shows.
History
The company was founded in 1970 by Bob Marquis and Dan Long to sell animatronics to amusement parks. Not long after, it was bought by Warner Communications under which it produced various animatronic shows for parks and restaurants. In the mid 80s, the founders bought it back and moved from Southbury Connecticut, to Stockbridge Vermont where Advanced Animations still operates today under the Marquis family.
