D.U.D.E.

D.U.D.E. (Disney's Unilateral Digital Electromagnetic Computer) is a rapping computer who was featured in the now-defunct Mickey's Starland (predecessor to Mickey's Toontown Fair) in a show called Mickey's Starland Show, in which is a surprise birthday for Mickey. It was hosted by him and his "deejay protégé", C.J. In order to turn him on, the audience had to yell "Hey D.U.D.E., what's happening?"
==Background==
===Development history===
The D.U.D.E. character was created for the now-defunct show "Mickey's Starland Show", the predecessor to Mickey's Toontown Fair where the attraction opened on May 26, 1990 with D.U.D.E. being installed on the stage. For every variant of Mickey's Starland Show, his voice and a few of his lines changed depending on the show's theme. The show ran in several versions from 1990 to March 11, 1996, the closing date of the show.
==Role in the show==
D.U.D.E. became the star of the former Magic Kingdom attraction, Mickey's Starland Show where the audience was encouraged to wake him up. He would occasionally light up and show the lyrics on his screen throughout the show and for every variant of it, characters (especially those from The Disney Afternoon block) would interact with D.U.D.E. as well as CJ, a D.U.D.E.'s deejay protégé. Whenever D.U.D.E., spoke, his dialogues would occasionally be said in rhymes whenever he spoke, although he would occasionally tell the audience to clap along with him throughout the variants of the show.
