P&P Projects launches dedicated animatronics division

P&P Projects has announced it is launching a brand-new branch ThemedMotion that will specialize in the turnkey development of animatronics and animated figures.

This year, P&P Projects celebrates its 35th anniversary. Since 1989, the company has evolved into a renowned design-build partner for the global themed entertainment industry. As of today, P&P Projects has built a substantial resumé of experience for a wide range of clients and partners, from world-class theme parks and captivating museums to luxurious resorts and cruise lines.

Over the years, the company has provided the turnkey design and production of themed entertainment experiences; all centered around immersive theming and physical thematic elements. Dynamic, moving show pieces play an important role in this. Despite having developed a multitude of these products in the past, it has been long-held ambition of the company to develop animated, motion-based elements in the same turnkey fashion.

P&P Projects launched a specialized branch within the company that will focus on the design and production of animatronics and advanced animated figures: ThemedMotion. This follows a thorough exploration of commonly encountered issues and needs in this particular field of themed entertainment manufacturing. With a clear aim in its development, ThemedMotion will cultivate durability, reliability and innovation as its core values. ThemedMotion sets itself apart with a clear focus on a custom control system that allows for remote monitoring of performance. This is combined with ease of maintenance and seamless integration with show sets (due to P&P Projects’ overarching expertise in this field).

During a special press conference at IAAPA Expo Europe in Amsterdam, P&P Projects unveiled the first official ThemedMotion show model: Mormel. This model has been brought to life with twenty-one electrical actuators allowing for nearly thirty movements. It uses ThemedMotion’s unique custom control software combined with a program developed by professional animators, resulting in a lifelike dynamic figure.
