It’s the year 2000, and you’re tuned into Disney Channel. If you suddenly feel like sketching Mickey ears with an imaginary wand, you likely know who I am, and I’m thrilled to say I’m back. That’s right, it’s me, Tom Morrow 2.0! I’m just as inquisitive, talkative, and brimming with questions as always, and I’m here to answer whatever’s on your mind in 2025.
So, if you’re new around here and not a millennial (that’s what they call them, right?), you might be curious about who I am and why my comeback is such a big deal. Well, I’ve got great news for you! I’m here to fill you in on my fabulous return quicker than you can ask, “any questions?”
Who is Tom Morrow 2.0?
Why, that’s a very philosophical question. I assume you want to know my history, right?
I’m a little matronic robot who loves hosting educational shows, cracking jokes, and diving into the wonders of Disney Experiences. I first appeared at EPCOT’s Innoventions, my former home, and soon became a crowd favorite thanks to my inquisitive nature and my car. My car is back, but the Imagineers have mentioned that Innoventions is no longer around.
You might recall seeing me on the Disney Channel back in the early 2000s during the segment “Imagineer That!” I had the chance to chill with Imagineers and dive into the science, storytelling, and engineering that make rides, fireworks, and Audio-Animatronics work—pretty much anything that goes boom, whoosh, or sparkles!
Where Have I Been?
My Innoventions days wrapped up in 2007, and I retired to the not-so-quiet halls of Walt Disney Imagineering in Glendale, California. I spent my days recharging, running diagnostics, and occasionally eavesdropping on Imagineers (while silently critiquing their coffee habits).
Sounds like some pretty good downtime, yeah? You may be thinking, “Wow, Tom, why’d you decide to come back now?”
Well, Imagineers have been cooking up more magic than ever— with projects currently in development around the world. With so much going on, people have more questions than ever about what’s going on at Walt Disney Imagineering, so the Imagineers got to work on “rebooting the ol’ circuits” — their words, not mine—because I’m the right robot for the job.!
A team of dreamers and doers from all over Imagineering assembled to bring me back online. First, they caught me up on what’s trending and what all the kids are saying these days. Then they teamed me up with our research and development techies to update my design and motion programming — aka, a system upgrade with extra charm installed.
They even refurbished my iconic car, redecorated my workspace, and basically made sure I’m ready for my big comeback. And with that, I’m here!
What’s Next for Tom?
With a shiny new parking spot, I’m ready to ask more questions, make bad puns, and dive deep into the magical minds of Imagineers everywhere.
In this reboot of “Imagineer That!,” you’ll hear directly from the creative minds behind Disney Experiences. And yes, I’ll be there every step of the way, asking the your questions and some you didn’t even know you had — and maybe cracking a joke or two while I’m at it.
Oh, and here’s a clue (you didn’t hear from me,) be sure to keep your eyes peeled during each episode. You never know what you might spot in the background.
Check out the first episode of “Imagineer That!” and check back here for more adventures with yours truly: Tom Morrow 2.0, Imagineering’s tiniest, talkiest, and most inquisitive host.
Next episode of Imagineer That! will be loading September 15th!
