Tom Morrow 2.0 (or simply "Tom") is a robot character that was the host of the Imagineer That!' interstitials on Disney Channel, and the mascot of Innoventions in Epcot from 2000 to 2007.
History[]
Background[]
Tom Morrow 2.0 is a robot who served the function of hosting Innoventions within E.P.C.O.T.'s Future World. It is seemingly the successor to a robot known simply as Professor Tom Morrow who served a similar function in Tomorrowland, where he also served as mayor. It is unknown what their exact relationship is. At some point in the 2000s, Tom Morrow 2.0 came under the possession of RoboMart, a subsidiary of the evil alien corporation X-S Tech.
Development[]
Tom Morrow 2.0 is an audio-animatronic character inspired by the character of Tom Morrow, here most notably featured in the Disneyland incarnation of Innoventions. The character of Tom Morrow originated however from the original Rocket to the Moon attraction in Disneyland, originally having been portrayed as a human. He could've also been inspired by TOM, the robot host of competitor Cartoon Network's weekday afternoon action block Toonami.
Tom Morrow 2.0 was removed in the 2007-2008 renovation of Innovations. The robot later made an appearance at the Odyssey Building which also features Figment from the original Journey into Imagination ride, and one of the characters from Kitchen Kabaret.
