They're also huge (taller than a grown man), strong, and made of metal, making it easy to imagine them accidentally harming a child. Animatronics built for children are typically bright and colorful, and behave in a friendly manner (sometimes a little too friendly), but sometimes lean too close to the valley and make children scream in terror instead of delight. The origins of this trope lie in a phenomenon called the "uncanny valley." This is when something has human-like features, but doesn't imitate them closely enough, and so a person looking at it feels unsettled or frightened. Now, the animatronics don't have to actually kill anyone, or even, strictly, be trying to. And sometimes, they'll come to life and try to kill you. Ah, animatronics, a staple at any " child friendly pizza house" or amusement park.
