A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (2001) - Pair of Animatronic Teddy Heads
A pair of animatronic Teddy heads from Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi film A.I. Artificial Intelligence. In the late 22nd century, a Mecha child named David (Haley Joel Osment) embarked on a quest to become “real” so he could win the affection of his human mother. Teddy was a robotic teddy bear who accompanied David on his journey. This lot consists of two animatronic heads, one of which is fully covered in faux fur, while the second only has fur over the ears, with the interior mechanics fully exposed.

Created by Stan Winston Studio, Teddy was the most sophisticated animatronic Winston ever designed, containing 50 points of motion — far more than even the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Controlled by numerous puppeteers using cable controls and electronic servos, Teddy was designed to interact with the actors on set, in real time.

The fur-covered Teddy is mounted to a metal base, and shows “Frightened” written on a label stitched inside the fur, as well as on a strip of tape applied to the base. The fur features an open seam on the left side of the head, with access to the interior electronics. The Teddy heads show minor wear due to production use and age, with the foam on the fur-covered head brittle in a number of places. The lot remains in fine overall condition. Dimensions: (on base): 23 cm x 23 cm x 21.5 cm (9” x 9” x 8 ½”); (head only): 19 cm x 16 cm x 16.5 cm (7 ½” x 6 ¼” x 6 ½”)
