  • I think to clear some of the air, I do not like the corporate side of Chuck E. Cheese; however I like the people who have worked for the company and have so much respect for the stuff they have to put up with working at the corporate office.
    The question here is, what happened to the E in Chuck E. Cheese, after so many years of entertainment, the company has simplified and cut corners. What key things caused these issues to grow bigger and bigger?

    This is why I am so appriciative of folks like you bringing the OG experience to us
    to enjoy since the animatronics have been dying. It hurts to see so much hard work being treated like trash,
    I love the detail and love poured into the old shows. I just don't understand why you would
    waste them like this.
    Just... Reading about how the old animatronics just got trashed immediately after their run
    or just left to rot in some locations (not unlike what happened to the Rockafire :( ) it just makes me so sad.
    The CEC animatronics deserved better.
    Animatronic shows deserve better.
    All of them.

    If programmed right, I think the Studio C bot can be eye candy to watch, but of course in recent times, all of the programming is just:
    mouth
    head turn
    lower arm movement
    head tilt
    body turn
    eyelids
    and sometimes ears
    it looks so lifeless and robotic now

    I’m already writing a 2D animated Chuck E. Cheese movie, & I’ll be happy to share it with the corp, & I hope they’ll like it. In case they do, they’ll probably team up with WARNER BROS FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT since they’re celebrating 100 years next year, or maybe Universal Cartoon Studios since they done wonderful animation back in the 90s to the 2000s. But I’m not letting them work with Disney now because the company is greedy as heck.

    Remember those 10 minute showtapes of animatronic and puppet shows were characters would sing covers of parodies and existing songs and the banter in between shows those were so good back in the 2000's and 2010's, yeah cuz that's gone now since Fall of 2014 there just strictly puppet shows, the banter is gone now and Jasper is part of the reason the old showtape segments were so good compared to now, but that's just my take to the segments nowadays

    Honestly, CEC's problem is cheap, cheap, cheap. They're so fixated on saving money that the experience is laughable now.
    Little to know ambience in the gameroom. Very bright lighting and some of the most boring, cheap game selections... kids aren't impressed with cheap games anymore. The older games were much more creative and fun. Looking at games like Sidewinder, Jambo Safari, Brave Firefighters, Jurassic Park, YoYo Bop, etc. New games suck, plain and simple...
    The pizza is very, very hit and miss.
    But most of the time it's so hard it literally cuts my mouth.
    The showroom is so bright, you can't even see most of the lighting. Not to mention the audio is usually barely audible, and anything other than a Alpha or Beta 32 just looks cheap and unimpressive. Not to mention they had been cheapening the Alphas for years. Reduced movement programming, console removal, robocolor removal, removal of some of the extra scenery, removal of blue screen, removal of gameroom show monitors, using one feed for all the monitors instead of separated feeds like before, removing the extra Alpha decor...
    And then the stages being installed in 2.0 look cheap and bland. There isn't ANY lighting. If it's supposed to be a performance, Chuck E. Ought to have some lights shining on him when he performs otherwise it's just background noise in a very bright "table room".
    Honestly, CEC isn't good at anything in today's time. It makes me sad because I have fond memories of the golden age of CEC in the early 2000s - 2013. If they keep this up, they'll run themselves out of business. Without going back to thier roots, they're honestly a really shitty pizza place. And that's all.

    as someone who works at a 2.0 cec, the kinetic energy is gone, I have to constantly teach people how the cards work, the shows are just background music now, most of the managers don't care, the trampoline costs $15-$20, they won't even let me do live shows on the dance floor where they should be, since Northridge is close if I ever get a complaint about the band I let them know about northridge, oh, and did I mention I can't even finish or even do birthday shows now because 1. the kids end up swarming me as the is now no stage to protect me, and 2. my handlers want to get it over with so they always try to rush me through things, they sometimes deny me from doing live shows even. 2.0 was never a good idea, I hate having to watch a brand I love deteriorate and become pretty much youtube kids content.

Or why not bring back the REEL FX Chuck in the commercials? Also have you even WATCHED FREE BIRDS on Blu Ray? Have you tried the wings and nuggies there? The eyebrowless Chuck is SUPER CURSED by the way Double also what do you think of the early rockstar Chuck E ads WITHOUT the guitar music? Should they put Wubbzy on CEC TV? Is FREE BIRDS: CHICKENS & DUCKS a good idea? I mean FREE BIRDS is a good movie so a sequel sounds like a good idea! Am I too weird? Is this too long for you? What do you think of Dave & Busters? Should they collab with Dole again? Do you think REEL FX is a awesome studio? What would Wubbzy look like in CGI Surgery? Who are Wubbzy's parents?

The 2014 and onward puppets are awesome! I grew up with those puppets including rockstar Chuck! And yes the 3 stage characters are reskins if the rock afire explosion it still doesn’t matter, if rockstar is still around, 2.0 existing, avenger ain’t around, studio is now 16m, no showroom walls or anything else, Chuck E. Cheese Still has Magic, and it will always be a place where a kid can be a kid. Now you CEC Fans Apologize to the company because ranting about modern day CEC is wrong. 5:27
