When to Use Animatronic Crocodile？

Just like any other animatronics animal, there is an animatronic crocodile as well which the people use in the theme parks and exhibitions. It is basically a crocodile model comprising of mechanicals, sculptures, scales, and exact color skin. You can control and animatronic crocodile with the help of a robotic device that allows them to move and make sounds. These crocodiles are powered by electrics or pneumatics. You can also use animatronic crocodile to catch the attention of the audience at a museum, zoo, exhibition, theme park, shopping malls, etc. 

How Animatronic Crocodile Are Made?

There are six production steps for creating animatronic corocodile that give them a realistic appearance. Take a look at the steps involved in creating these life-like creatures.

Framework

The first step in making animatronic crocodile is to create a framework. Then, they weld the steel particles in order to give them the right posture like that of a crocodile. Once the welding is complete, they paint it with anti-rust paint.

Electric System

The next step is the electric system. They install motors at different locations of the welded steel. After fitting these electronic components into the steel body of the crocodile, the next step is testing each movement.

Sculpture

Now they give the welded body the shape of an actual crocodile with the help of sculpturing. They further cover the frame with foam which they make with paleontological data of the crocodile.

Texture

After foam creation, the body of the crocodile is given texture with the help of soldering iron. It gives a more realistic look to the crocodile. 

Skin Work

Next up is the skin work that will give a final touch to the entire appearance of the crocodile. Then they apply the Layers of silk stocking to cover the sculptured body of the dinosaur. At last, they apply the glue hair to the skin for more authentic appeal. 

Conclusion

Tick-Tock is a crocodile in the 1953 animated film, Peter Pan. In Epic Mickey, he appears as an animatronic crocodile, retaining his craving appetite for Captain Hook. Tick-Tock attacks Mickey when he is about to board the Jolly Roger, and when you're fighting Captain Hook, you have the chance to send him to the Crocodile by defeating him without saving the Sprite. It is known because Captain Hook tells you "not to let me near that crocodile". If Hook is driven off the plank, the crocodile will attempt to eat him and drive him away while chasing after the pirate.

In the bad ending, it is revealed that Tick-Tock has devoured Captain Hook as only his hook is left floating in the sea before sinking beneath the waves. In the sequel, Tick-Tock doesn't make an appearance or isn't even mentioned.

Trivia

• In the original film Peter Pan, Captain Hook runs away and narrowly escapes from Tick-Tock (as mentioned by Walt Disney himself, he would get away because nobody would want him to die, plus he reappeared in the sequel, Peter Pan: Return to NeverLand). The animatronic version however, got devoured.
• In Epic Mickey Concept Art, you can see a Beetleworx called a Jumbler, and the only picture of it shows an amalgamation of Disney characters that include, but are not limited to: Goofy, Jafar, Tigger (Possibly) and of course, Tick-Tock the Crocodile, meaning that the Jumbler was intended to be in the game (mostly around Ventureland), but time restrictions only allowed them to make Tick-Tock and put him in Ventureland during the fight with Animatronic Captain Hook.
