    This documentary shows how FNAF games almost retold the Chuck E Cheese story in its entirety, as well as referenced animatronic history, in many similar ways. Honestly, if Chuck E Cheese kept their characters they could’ve been waaaay more popular now.
    Shoutout to that guy Damon who collected all those animatronics, and kept all of them in company working condition, just fascinating stuff.

      I disagree, I don’t think they would be more popular if they kept the animatronics. The animatronics creeped kids out and also it would just be a meme by now as kids are more into digital and virtual mascots in my opinion

    About 30 years ago when I worked as a Civil Engineer and I designed soft playground systems, there were many playground sets that I designed for Chuck E Cheese and Showbiz Pizza. When the playground sets were being installed, I had to be there and inspect them to make sure the installation crews were assembling them correctly. So I spent a lot of time in CEC and Showbiz Pizza.
    It was creepy because the maintenance crew's that maintained the animatronic units would come in every week and make sure the units were working well and had no issues about to happen.
    So they would take ALL of the skins off of the units and run them through their routines and just watch them operate to see their mechanisms performing and pneumatic tubes and fittings to make sure none of them were starting to leak air. Watching those units do their full routine without ANY of their skin on was pure nightmare fuel. I would usually always be sitting at one of the dining tables and drinking a Coke and periodically going over to check the assembly of the playground I had designed. So I could always clearly see the whole stage and had a clear view of the animatronic units dancing and singing without their skins. I would be there for hours so I always got the full performance at lesst twice. Then the place would open and the skins would be fully put back on the animatronic units and they would be doing their performance for the kids that were there. I always wondered if any of those kids had ever seen any of the animatronic units with their skin off. If I had ever seen anything like that when I was a kid I would have run out of there screaming. LOL

    I think these companies phasing animatronics out natural, but I also think all the animatronic puppets deserve to be either repurposed, or to be shown off in something like a museum. Some of these animatronics are a part of entertainment history that deserve to be preserved for future generations to learn about.
    Fnaf really has ignited a passion within me for animatronics, how they work, the history of it all.

    I'm a 90s kid so the Chuck E Cheese animatronics I grew up with were the full bodied ones that use to be the rock-afire band. I remember going to a birthday at Chuck E Cheese when I was 8 and enjoying seeing everyone on stage! It was the first time I had ever seen anything like it. Chuck was placed towards the edge of stage and everyone was going up to get pictures with him while he was performing his show. I was told to go up but I refused. I was afraid Chuck was going to hit me because he was making extremely jerky motions. I was talked into it though, so I went up. The audio for the show was very loud, I know now that was to mask the sound of the hydraulics but while standing front and center of him, I heard it all and the sound scared me so bad I started crying. He was the best and most creepy thing out of my childhood. This video brought back great memories! It's nice to see someone take the time and money to preserve them.

    @ReminaProd 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +57

    Incredible video! It’s great seeing people giving these shows more love and attention they deserve!
    As for more info on the half-bodied Chuck E. Cheese characters, the figures you saw are known as Cyberamics. They were first built in 1979 and were used in every Pizza Time Theatre from around 1980. Only 2 Pizza Time Theatre locations actually had the portrait characters, which were replaced with these Cyberamics. As for the Bandstand characters, the Bandstand show was done for a set of showtapes they had for the characters, and had different outfits for the characters to further fit the theme of the show.
    The King actually uses the same half-bodied mechanism as the Chuck E. Cheese characters, but has different arms, a large set of legs and ear mechanisms. The Beagles has similar head mechanisms to the singing birds that accompany the Pizza Time Players, known as the Warblettes.
    As well as the Looney Bird character in the arcade, he was from a later show by Creative Engineering called the New Rock-afire Explosion. The show was made after the Rock-afire Explosion was pulled from Showbiz Pizza Place, in the hopes of being the next big show by Creative Engineering that would shoot them back into the mainstream, like the Rock-afire Explosion had. Unfortunately, it flopped massively, and only around 6-8 shows were ever manufactured I believe, no full shows are known to be operational at the time. Although, there are a handful of people with characters, and Aaron Fechter still has a full show which he hopes to restore to be operational again in the future. As for Looney himself, he was from the left stage, which was on a turntable. The stage featured 2 Looney Bird animatronics, one per side. One of these was a head only, similar to the standard Rock-afire Looney Bird, although he was inside of a window, accompanied by Beach Bear. On the opposite side of the stage, was where the full-bodied Looney Bird would reside.
    Oh and the portrait show. There aren’t many manufactured, at all. Most were destroyed, and there are only 2 characters known to still exist, although they do not operate. These being the later iterations of the portrait versions of Chuck E. Cheese and a discontinued character, Crusty the Cat. There’s so little left of the show, that repairing and operating these 2 characters again would be extremely difficult.
    Either way, though, great video!! Very informative! As I said earlier, seeing people giving these shows more attention and care is always a great sight

    The Chuck E Cheese animatronics you see here are called "Cyberamics". They existed in both half body, and full body form in various stage designs. Around the time of Concept Unification, the existing Cyberamic shows were converted from older stages like the Balcony Stage, C-Stage, and Rocker Stage, into newer designs called Road Stages, 2-stages, and 1-stages. This is where the Cyberamics had legs added onto them, and the band name was changed to "Munch's Make Believe" at all locations. The creative engineering mechs were transformed into 3-stages.
