In an announcement that took lots of people at Imagineering (WDI) and TDA by surprise, Walt Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook, a former Disneylander who started his career 40 years ago as a conductor on the Disneyland Railroad, proudly mentioned to the TV cameras on the red carpet that next year Pirates will be getting animatronic versions of Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom to celebrate the third movie.
