==Origin==
Sonny Eclipse, an audio-animatronic vocalist, is the unique performer of the astro-organ in Walt Disney World, specifically gracing Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe within Magic Kingdom.
Hailing from the subterranean metropolis of Yew Nork on the planet Zork, Sonny Eclipse is a Zorkie musician. Life on Zork necessitates dwelling underground due to the noxious methane clouds enveloping the surface. As a denizen of the entertainment hub on his planet, Sonny's upbringing in Yew Nork naturally steered him toward a music career, leading him to tour across the cosmos.
During a performance on Mars where his backup singers vanished, he encountered the invisible Space Angels, becoming his steadfast companions ever since. Subsequently, he secured a stable engagement as the resident artist in the Starlight Lounge at the inaugural Earth branch of Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe in Tomorrowland.
Exuding a laid-back and humorous demeanor, Sonny employs puns while interjecting between his tunes. Beneath the surface of his comical exterior, he reveals a romantic facet through melodies that extol Earth's beauty and a heartfelt serenade dedicated to his six-eyed romantic partner.
Found within the Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe, Sonny enchants Starlight Lounge patrons with jazz melodies emanating from his Amazing Astro-Organ while they dine. His ethereal vocal harmonies, delivered by the Space Angels—an unseen troupe of extraterrestrial vocalists—accompany his performance. His complete audio repertoire spans approximately 25 minutes.
Sonny Eclipse's repertoire encompasses eight songs, authored by George Wilkins and Kevin Rafferty.
In a notable twist of fate, the voice behind Sonny Eclipse was the accomplished singer and songwriter Kal David. Tragically, Kal David passed away at the age of 79 in 2022. Interestingly, in a 2013 interview, David shared that he had never witnessed a live performance of Sonny Eclipse at Walt Disney World.
It's intriguing to note that Sonny's animatronic mold previously breathed life into another character, Captain Zzzyxxx, located in Tokyo Disneyland's Star Tours exit corridor. Curiously, the two figures are depicted as cousins.
