What the 👆 But I agree this is a great show same with the animatronics and I’m glad even though Showbiz Pizza might be gone people not just Showbiz pizza fans but fans of all genres keep its memory alive.
I remember seeing this in the early 2000s, sad that it's gone now. Recently realized it was made by you guys when it clicked that the staging looked familiar
Thanks so much Aaron I really appreciate you posting this! I love this show so much and it was apart of my parents and my childhood! I got so many photos and even some pieces of show! I can not tell you how happy I am to see some new high quality footage of them in their own prime! This is Fantastic!
I also saw them at the park, twice (2015 & 2016) I went back in 2017 to find a new live character show in the Jingle Bell Theatre, and I haven't been back since (I am a sophomore now and go to Canobie Lake Park).
It’s crazy that this show had been the same since 79!! It held up, through my childhood in Jefferson NH it remained all the same. It was my favorite part of the park :) I didn’t know until now that this was Aarons doing!! Brings back so many memories
Whoa! I'm impressed! Santa looks REALLY realistic! The eyes and mouth movement are amazing! I like Rudolph, too... the elves are a little stiff, but not bad! Overall, an awesome show! So nice to be able to see the old stuff hidin g out in your warehouse all these decades! If you ever need help converting stuff to digital format, I'd love to get involved! This is the kinda stuff you became famous for! I was only 11 years old at this point! Animatronics is your moment in the spotlight, for which you will always be remembered. Few people get that privilege, to be remembered and celebrated for something that is still remembered and appreciated decades later...
This was a show I'd watch during my weekend trip to Jefferaon NH that I'd do every August from 2014 to 2018, I saw this show twice because sadly at the end of the 2016 Season, Santa's Village said they needed another live show and that it was just time to give it up. This was made in the 70s as well so it was becoming outdated, this was made around Elvis's death so it people of the 2010s were quite confused hearing and seeing Elvis on stage. It was still fun to watch though and I really miss it, happy it ran there for 39 years (longer than the Country Bears at Disneyland).
Absolutely love seeing all the old footage. Love sharing all CEI projects with my son. Wishing that he could have been able to experience Showbiz. I miss it so much!
Hello Mr Aaron I am your French fan you know for the Rolfe and Beach Bear stuffed animals I still have them everywhere I go they come with me. I wanted to tell you that when I was little I was passionate about Five nights at Freddy but over time I'm no longer passionate but when I discovered your videos during total confinement I could awaken this passion that slumbers in I thank you for everything you do for a child the importance is that it is not that they are robots but it is above all what they can become in the eyes of children 😉 Thanks you Mr Aaron 😊
I was a animatronics and control engineer at a theme park a few years ago. It’s cool to see the older stuff and how they did it back then. Always wanted to get back into it. Maybe someday I will move back.
I go to Santa's Village every year and I remember seeing it in its finial years this show was amazing and now seeing this video that you made it makes it even cooler because I and a big fan. where is this filmed?
Me too, it closed sometime in late 2016 or early 2017 but I saw the show in 2016 and '15 for sure. I never saw Tinker's Tune Up because after this thing closed I switched parks from Santa's Village to Canobie Lake Park.
It was 1977 and Elvis Presley had passed away by then which shocked everyone so this gag was sort of a tribute to him as well as his song Blue Christmas.
I was at Santa's Village from 2014 - 2018 and saw this show twice. Never knew I'd realize CEI were responsible for the show until I saw the Rock Afire Explosion performing at the 2015 Big E. So I was at the right spots at the right time.
Unfortunately no! The Jingle Jamboree was among the oldest attractions at Santa's Village, and the time came in the Fall of 2016 to replace the late show with a newer live show called Tinker's Tune-Up. The animatronics in this video were retrofitted about 10 years before the whole show itself closed, and the theatre was also renovated in the late 2000s. The building is now vacant aside from the concession stand up front. Show is in storage at the park currently. I was one of the very last people to SEE the Jingle Bell Jamboree, and it was a huge loss for me.
Really cool to see stuff from so long ago! One question, how did you manage to get Elfis to suddenly appear on stage? Did he get raised and lowered from the floor?
Always wondered the same thing, I only got to see this in 2015 and 2016 before it was removed and don't remember there being a trapdoor under Elfis's feet. I don't remember the stage being that tall either.
I live in Massachusetts and I have to say that I’ve been to Santa’s Village in Jefferson NH and I wish someone could tell me what happened to the original CEI JingleBell Jamboree animatronics somebody said that they’re in storage with most of their heads were missing but I don’t which one they are either the CEI animatronics or the Advanced Animations animatronics?
Maybe but I don't remember those things, just the animatronics and the show in general, I always thought it was in good shape until looking back at some 2015 footage seeing how beat up it really was.
I bet the elves are at the bigger location of creative engineering, technically you could re skin the country bear jubilee and probably use a klunk santa.
What are the names of the different characters? I know there is; Santa Claus, Rudolph, Elfis, and Elfin John. What are the names of, the one who plays the bass, and the one who plays the trumpet?
I meant, making a reaction video, the video you are reacting to is the early days of creative engineering. You could make it now or in the future if you want. I’m just recommending you a video idea.
I know. I was just foolin' with ya;! I have lots of stuff like that coming for the Premium Channel. Remember, Premium is for "Behind The Scenes". Free stuff is to show you what we end up with after all the "Behind The Scenes" stuff. If I gave my Behind the Scenes stuff to everybody, no one would join my Premium Channel, and I wouldn't blamer them. I have tons of old videos from the 80's I still have to put out on the Premium Channel.
@@therockafire Well it is almost Christmas, I recommend you watch a Retrospective video about “Jingle Bell Jamboree” made by Roskuil. If you have the time to make a reaction video.
For a animatronic show in the 70's..this is pretty impressive 👌
Because he was the best
Absolutely adore this show! The Santa's Village Show has always been one of my CEI Favorites! It's amazing to see the ORIGINAL bots in better quality!
SUSSY Roblox bottle chugging cheesy man 🤔
What the 👆
But I agree this is a great show same with the animatronics and I’m glad even though Showbiz Pizza might be gone people not just Showbiz pizza fans but fans of all genres keep its memory alive.
This show is very impressive to be your first full show. The movements and programming are very fluid.
Old show? Yes. Has a theme? Yes! All together great? Totally! Added to my list of animatronic bands to revive into a game? 100 percent definitely!
Yooo whats your game??? :D
I’d rather watch this during Christmas holidays and sometimes on November.

Really great audio and great movements on these characters

These animatronics are incredible! Great footage.
I'm only 16 but I'm a huge fan of aaron fechter and the rock afire explosion and this is amazing

This is awesome! It's always great to have some more footage of these more obscure shows.
@CEC Durham NC perfect timing haha
Great piece of history, so glad it survived. This was really sophisticated for the time.
It didn't, was removed after the 2016 Season & Replaced with a Live Show called "Tinker's Tune Up" in 2017.
Thank you for making this holiday season a little more magical
Yo the gas joke still holds up
Love the archive footage. Please keep it coming
love santa's village show 1979
sue
this is so cool not only we got new footage of the cei bots of Santa's Village Show but also clear audio of the show
"Elfis" 🤣 so cleaver! Love this, thank you for sharing 😍
It was 1977 and Elvis Presley had passed away by then which shocked everyone so this gag was sort of a tribute to him as well as his song Blue Christmas.
I love this. These animatronics look way better then the new ones.
Agreed! I never liked the design of the newer ones, as they just look more off-putting than anything. (Besides Rudolf)
Dang this great that we finally get this footage
I love the movement's of the Santa Animatronic! it looks fluid!
True
This is nice! I've been to Santa's Village once (but never got to see this)
I was at Santa's Village from 2014 - 2018 and saw this show twice. Never knew I'd realize CEI were responsible for the show until I saw the Rock Afire Explosion performing at the 2015 Big E. So I was at the right spots at the right time.
WHERE DID THE ELVIS ELF COME FROM LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Possibly the basement like CBJ at disney
He came up from a hatch door
This is amazing!
YESS, THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS
Ok no joke I was about to go there in about a week or 2. Never knew CEI had a show there. Super cool!
1979 the day that the 2nd pizza time theatre birthday skit
This is simply awesome!
I love this show
Cool to know that this was reused for Christmas show at ShowBiz 🤩 6:26
Wow thank you I would have never seen this!
Finally, Aaron uploads.
WHERE ARE THESE GUYS NOW
Been there soooo many times...
Greaaaaaaaaaat!
This is so cool! Thanks Aaron
The Audio quality is great! I'm gonna have fun restoring this footage!
Me too
How do you restore a tape? Bc I kind of don’t get it
man this looks so cool
Does the jingle bell jamboree still exist today?
Unfortunately no! The Jingle Jamboree was among the oldest attractions at Santa's Village, and the time came in the Fall of 2016 to replace the late show with a newer live show called Tinker's Tune-Up. The animatronics in this video were retrofitted about 10 years before the whole show itself closed, and the theatre was also renovated in the late 2000s.

I was one of the very last people to SEE the Jingle Bell Jamboree, and it was a huge loss for me.
@@Laserashtonthe animatronics aren’t retrofitted, they were replaced with newer animatronics created by Advanced Animations.
I heard this was the very first audio animatronic show outside of Disney
i think i like the santa animatronic the most.
yay new video of santa animatronic
Hey you wouldn't happen to have video of the hard luck bears. There is some footage but it has alot of the show missing also thanks for posting
Loved this! 👏
This is so iconic
Really cool to see stuff from so long ago! One question, how did you manage to get Elfis to suddenly appear on stage? Did he get raised and lowered from the floor?
I think he was behind center stage and when the curtains close the elf on the gift would move to the sidearm elfis would come out
you can see a trapdoor in the floor
Always wondered the same thing, I only got to see this in 2015 and 2016 before it was removed and don't remember there being a trapdoor under Elfis's feet. I don't remember the stage being that tall either.

Amazing!
Do you know how tall the elves were?
The deer animatronic seems to have the same mech as the Wolfman, were they the same mechanical?
Wait there was full cast for the Christmas shows ? I’ve only ever seen the Santa animatronic
Holy Heck! Cool!
Hi i love the video
Who did the voice of them?
I'm guessing your best friend is the inspiration for Billy Bob the bear? That's so cool!
Your Elf look liked from your Image of The Animatronics Experimenters Kit....
Interesting
How does Elfis appear on stage? I’ve never seen this show before, so I’m confused 😂
If I remember there is a trap door that opens and the lift that pushes the animatronic up to the stage
@@mechaitheracer2563 that’s what I assumed .
Maybe but I don't remember those things, just the animatronics and the show in general, I always thought it was in good shape until looking back at some 2015 footage seeing how beat up it really was.
I wish there were pictures of the mechs of these
Yesssss
Tá Quase Em 100 mil Inscritos
Can you upload the hard luck bears
Any updates on Aaron. ? He’s been afk for a while now , he seems to be stuck in the 80s
Aaron posts all this stuff, he is THE ROCKAFIRE
also ur work is amazing
I bet the elves are at the bigger location of creative engineering, technically you could re skin the country bear jubilee and probably use a klunk santa.
next month is my birthday!!!
Will you ever make a video of the bear country jubilee?
7:58
Hey Aaron I have a question about the animatronic that looks like Helen henny that I can get from you!
Random comment to keep the sub
Do you have a tape of the bear country jubalie?
This give me hope that there’s footage of The Bear Country Jubilee.
Was it Burt Wilson who voiced Santa on this show?
Nope. All the characters in The Jingle Bell Jamboree was voiced by John Cederberg who also did voices in most of CEI's early shows.
Hey do you know how I can get my hands on a billy bob mask for an animatronic
What are the names of the different characters? I know there is; Santa Claus, Rudolph, Elfis, and Elfin John. What are the names of, the one who plays the bass, and the one who plays the trumpet?
Aaron have you seen billy Bob's wonderland?
Will you ever release sheet music for shows like this? It would be amazing to play Elfin John's piano sequence!
Is there a name for the process of the Silicone/rubber face rotting?
Melting I think
Where are they now? Can u make more videos about them?
They're in storage next to the 3 animatronic s used in the 2010s. The show closed in 2017 but the animatronics seen here were replaced in 2006.
Is this elvis animatronic on a turntable like the new rock afire explosion or how are they switches out?
The floor pulls back and the animatronic is raised up on a platform I think.
animatronic legal cara
Why did the Kansas City Rock-afire shop close ?
Are you ever going to make a reaction video that talks about the early days of creative engineering in the future?
how could the early days of Creative Engineering be in the future?

Hello Aaron
how about pulling out all the old animatronics and recreating the shows?
Is there a full footage of early hard luck bears
Can you show me recoverd footage of the bear country jubilee please.
Hey Aaron would you ever and I mean ever open at least 1 official rock a fire explosion location in the future many people would love to see it
There is only billy bob's wonderland at this point
Can you show me recovered footage of the bear country jubilee please.
Aaron do you know your video is on youtube for the whole world to see?
He literally said in the description that it’s a special gift for the free channel
Aaron himself posted this.
Yay
wow, this is amazing~!
Omg
If only the country bear jamboree should’ve made their Christmas show in the late 70s instead of ‘84
