The Timekeeper


[ Disney Vacation Planner ][WDW Home] [Animal Kingdom Attractions] [Magic Kingdom Attractions] [Epcot Attractions] [Disney MGM Studios Attractions]

At A Glance  

The Timekeeper is currently closed, and it is unclear whether or not it will re-open.

The Timekeeper is a 20 minute presentation which combines the best of Audio Animatronics, with a 360-degree CircleVision film, and various special effects. The storyline is hosted by a mad scientist robot known as "Timekeeper" who has created the only known time machine.

Timekeeper sends 9-eye, a flying robot camera (reminiscent of the 9-lens camera used to create CircleVision films) back in time on a whistle-stop tour of the past, all of which is then presented through the CircleVision film medium. Note that one of the interesting points of a CircleVision film is that with the film-show taking place all around you, some sections can be quite un-nerving, particularly to anyone especially prone to motion sickness.

The Timekeeper is voiced by Robin Williams, while Rhea Perlman provides the voice for 9-eye, Jeremy Irons for H. G. Wells, and Michel Piccoli for Jules Verne.

The fiml shown at the Tomorrowland Circle Vision theatre has been changed on regular occasions since the park first opened in 1971. The full lineup from the beginning is:
