The late 1990s-early 2000s were truly the golden age of CEC. I miss the emphasis on entertainment that the company had back then -- you could really tell that they were investing a lot of money and talent into the production of the shows.
Makes me wish I was born around that time because it would’ve been so cool to see all the stages in person! I’m glad I was alive during the Avengers era but I genuinely believe that the late 1980s - 2000s were the best CEC eras
This is still just as impressive the twentieth time seeing it, your archival work is stunning and it’s always a treat seeing new rarities like this being unearthed!
Really wish they would’ve kept this stage as a more simplified version instead of scrapping it all together. Its such an interesting and beautiful idea. I could see why they would get rid of it because of all the complexity and how expensive it would be, but like i said they could’ve made a simpler version of it or just keep it in 1 location as a special stage. Its just such a shame most of this beautiful stage most likely ended up destroyed in a landfill. It would have made a wonderful “tourist attraction” for CEC fans. Still so sad how this idea was scrapped and never even got archived in any way beside this video :(
Wow, the Dolby surround sound integration, the theater environment, the crazy effects, everything came together to make this stage one of the most awesome things I've ever seen. CEC went all out with this stage and the result was incredible. This would've blown me away today, never mind the fact that it was produced in the late 90s.
Hello! I am Ashley, I turned 21 years old yesterday and I just recently went down a deep rabbit hole of things from my childhood and I was actually a huge CEC fan starting in my baby years when my parents took me to various locations and I had CEC merch in photos. I just recently discovered the history of AAM and let me say, I am very impressed with the amount of quality, love and care that went into bringing the stage into reality. I was not from the 90's art era but I will say the futuristic 90's art on the stage is absolutely beautiful, and I love all the lights and gizmos and gadgets on it as well. This would have been such a cool stage show if it was approved and made all across the chain but due to tech problems and budget issues, that couldn't happen but I wish it still would have been kept alive at Dallas Texas instead of quickly thrown away and reworked to CEC Studio stages. Also, the CEC beta animatronic in this location was moved to my childhood location in Sunnydale Moreno Valley CA after the Dallas building closed after I researched it. What's also weird is that the Sunnydale one opened in 2002, the same year I was born. Anyway I wanted to thank you for all the footage you have of AAM because it was a rare and ambitious experiment but it's also lost media due to the lack of footage that was recorded.
The AAM is so incredibly cool, but I can definitely see why they settled for Studio C instead. There are so many moving parts that would be impossible to keep totally functional over the years. Plus, it's a neat gimmick, but with the way CEC evolved, it would've become dated pretty quickly I think. Considering how important the screens were, they would've had to consistently make new footage to go along with the shows, which probably would've been incredibly expensive. If they'd kept that one location, though, it could've been really, really neat to see how it would've turned out!
I kind of wish we had the unedited versions of the Awesome Adventure Machine showtapes. And before anyone tells me yes the Awesome Adventure Machine showtapes are actually available to watch but they have been edited for other existing stages after they scrapped the stage.
The masters for "The Awesome Adventure Machine" shows (left and right screen) should still exist on Digital Betacam tapes. That is if the library at Department 18 has been kept intact over the past 23 years.
I miss the 1.0 Chuck E. Cheese places, 1977 - 2019 never get old, places these days back then put a smile on my face! I do miss studio c too, studio c had a full set of new Mac valves, and those had a tablet for testing movements, that gave me happiness. Goodnight.
Truly wish this was in a actual Chuck E. Cheese for a few years, but I can tell why they decided not to use this, I mean, all the stuff moving around Chuck E, how would you even get to it if it malfunctioned?
Interestingly enough it was quite easy to access all of the show elements. The complicated part was how intricate and customized all of the parts were for the show. Trying to stock all of the components in the parts department was one of the concerns of putting this show in hundreds of locations.
it was in a Chuck E. Cheese's (the original location in Dallas, Texas on Montfort Dr, relocated in December 2001, the current one has Circles of Light and Dance Floor now)
It would be so cool if the stage was kept and that location and put in a few more locations, but the stage has more parts than animatronics combined on the three-stage
It would’ve been cool if a few stores got an AAM, but I doubt they would’ve been well maintained well with all the moving parts it has. Especially in modern CEC.
The speed of this prototype had an initial slower overall movement as we were trying to work out the movements vs obstacles in the cabin of the "Adventure Machine"
I can see why they didn't go through with this, given how much of a nightmare this looks to maintain, not to mention how expensive this looks. I do like how the animatronic looks. This and the Studio C animatronic are the best animatronics of the character. I feel people's fear of animatronics wouldn't be as bad, if not extremely rare, if animatronics like this and the Studio C animatronic were CEC's standard. If the setups with all of the band looked on par with AAM and Studio C, I feel more people would respect animatronics.
honestly this is the cutest Chuck animatronic, he looks so silly!!!! I wanna squeeze him really hard and throw him out a window at 50mph at a brick wall. /pos
This was actually the most complex in CEC history it was a prototype for studio c and it was only shown for 1 year which is sad because I would really wanna see it rip prototype alpha c 1996-1997 and yes I do have source

The beginning of the tape(0:00) sounds so goddamn similar the fnaf Security breach main theme. I think one of the devs had heard the song or i may be wrong
What is your favorite studio c stage? My favorite studio c stages is the awesome adventure machine and the studio c Alpha. Sadly the any of studio c stage's doesn't have chucks friends if at least they planned to make them
From "The Awesome Adventure Machine" forward (i.e. Studio C) the plan was only to have one CEC animatronic and all other characters would be in video only.
This stage is so much fun but I see why it didn’t stick around. The amount of moving parts was probably a pain for upkeep and having to make content for it would cost way more than they were willing to shell out
Hey Brian is it fine if I use this video for my up and coming video about the studio c animatronic and if so can you provide some information on the studio c and AAM thank you very much
Unfortunately due to the large production costs involved, a Holiday Show was never created for this prototype stage. It played the Awesome Adventure Machine Show through the Holiday Season in 1996

It’s actually quite a coincidence that it sounds the same. The sound was from a sounds effects music library that was available commercially to anyone who purchased the collections on CD.
I wish CEC would do something like this again, kids these days would love the big screens and thee animatronic
They've got the big screen part down. Animatronics is a different story
@@Nayplays1 There are two here, the 2.0 models are only 1

Out of all the outfits Chuck E has worn throughout the years, this outfit is definitely one of the cutest he has worn!
Love seeing all this amazing footage! Thank you for all the amazing content Brian! This footage is so amazing to see how much details the AAM had.
Hi, Matt
Matt is here
i feel if they kept this stage it would had got so many people to watch the show other than the games

I could see this working with the studio c animatronic but like a smaller budget
it was in a Chuck E. Cheese's (the original location in Dallas, Texas on Montfort Dr, relocated in December 2001, the current one has Circles of Light and Dance Floor now)
Sounds like this song is saying whoop that ass
It would be so cool if the stage was kept and that location and put in a few more locations, but the stage has more parts than animatronics combined on the three-stage
I didnt notice this before but the 20th anniversary intermission is in stereo
It's the 40th anniversary now
This show also had "MGM Sing-Alongs" with it!
It would’ve been cool if a few stores got an AAM, but I doubt they would’ve been well maintained well with all the moving parts it has. Especially in modern CEC.
The music sounds similar to the fnaf security breach main theme song. I love seeing the correlation between these two franchises.
You know it’s good when they be activating the fog machines
What a cool stage! I get that they discounted it because it was too much, but they could have just simplified it...
They did it’s called studio c!

Chuck looks like a avenger chuck
How many movements does this chuck bot have and also what his endoskeleton looks like inside the chuck bot
This prototype animatronic had approximately 20 movements and looked very similar inside to a 3-Stage character mechanism.
The awesome adventure machine is a great stage shame it was only used at one location
