Protect John Connor. The Judgement Day is near. Join the human resistance now, before it’s too late.

Well if it’s controlled by human and completly scripted, it’s not that kind of interesting projects we’re all waiting for 😂

One of two things is going to happen:
1. Olaf is getting jumped by park goers
2. Olaf will be escorted by security

Imagine making a smaller version of this AI Olaf robot for folks to have at home. I don’t think folks would mind having this particular robot.

It’s ai mate. They keep it a secret from you because its designed by the devil and his minions. Thats why they told you you can’t film it.
Sounds just like the 1945 Ufo crash sight conspiracy theory, which actually happened.
They dont want their corrupt actions to be exposed. So they silence those who know too much, and assignations happen often.
Those who are weak, and told you cant film anything are dangerous.
They are the flying monkey’s to that grey haired scandral.
