    Sadly, no, the bots do NOT go to collectors. The only ones we fans get a hold of, are the ones we go dumpster diving for when we know a location is getting their 2.0 remodel. If you make a part 2 covering the 90's era and early 2000's I would love to see it, and hope you tell your viewers what I said here, that way fans know that the animatronics get chopped in half and axed in the face before being tossed in the dumpsters, and it is up to us to save them from going to rot in landfills (provided each person checks to make sure dumpster diving is legal in their state).

    i ADORE your little animatic segments with the pencil on paper you do! theyre so charming and full of personality and even laugh out loud funny! theyre so unique i really cant think of any other youtuber who does anything similiar. the fact that theyre all drawn on paper too it just adds so much. you're genuinley really good at drawing expressions they all look so full of life.

    animatronic bands might be the hardestt art form. to make one work it requires a mastery of robotics, programming, puppet design, and music. there's something i find really intresting about early chuck e cheese and showbiz pizza animatronics. such a unique way to showcase characters, i wish i could travel back in time and see some of these shows in action...

      Me too! My dad built, repaired and recorded tapes for animated amusements like this. And I can tell you, this was his life through the early to mid 80’s all day until 3am. His shooting gallery amusements business went bust along with the rest so after that he only maintained the animatronics on call. He has Alzheimer’s now. All his electronics and schematics were burned in a wildfire. The people whose passion and knowledge went into this art form are a dying generation, and it truly saddens me that more people aren’t fascinated with robotics for entertainment and amusements, since it would be so refreshing in this age of having screens everywhere. My 7 year old for one is obsessed with animatronic videos and wishes she could go to the 80’s to see them! She was disappointed when we went to Chuck E Cheese and they had nothing but screens. She said mournfully “I have screens everywhere I go.”

      @@ArtForAllOccasions this is really fascinating to hear. I'm only 20 years old & I really have developed this deep respect & fascination with this era of animatronics & entertainment, & hearing a first hand account of this era is really interesting.
      I'm not sure if I'll ever see an animatronic band ever preform again in my life time time & that fact just makes me feel so sad in a way I cant describe. i think back when chuck e cheese still did shows I only was able to see one show when I was a kid since every other time I went there they were seemingly off.
      i don't think I could ever describe just how cool it would be to just see a robot in the middle of a small area of a restaurant crack weirdly adult & off color jokes sing 50s rock songs right in front of me.

    Fun Fact about Crusty, in a recent chuck e cheese video (I forgot which one), Chuck speaks backwards at one point, and if you were to reverse that, Chuck says that he was going to see Crusty at a baseball game, implying that Crusty went on to do great things, so he did get a happy ending

    57:07 PERFECT COMPARISON of 70s versus 80s shows. I never heard any of the original show tapes until this video, but they surprised me with how sassy they were.
    Also, maybe it's because I didn't grow up with the Rockafire Explosion in my area as a kid, but I will always find Billy Bob unnerving. Any other animatronic, I'm fine, some are even cute, but there's just something about Billy Bob's face that terrifies me.

    thank you for uploading this one it was so much fun to watch ^u^ I was a cashier and a walk around chuck for 2/3 years just before the pandemic hit. I never grew up with chuck e cheese but I quickly fell in love with the characters and silly stories, at my location we still had a animatronic chuck but he was kind of just that hunk of metal in the corner but I got to watch them do his diagnostics in the morning which is super creepy when no music is playing. On slightly sadder news about possibly preserving the animatronics its pretty unlikely, at least in accordance to my old stores rules from the higher ups. All robotics/games that were decommissioned for the restaurant were ordered to be destroyed to the point of no return even if there was no issues with them I guess this was to make them have no value for people who could find them in the trash? idk it was kind of a crap policy but what can you do. Either way really loved this one!

    I grew up watching TPM Vids (mainly about Disney and Chuck E Cheese) and the interests I have are huge. I dunno why, I never really grew up with Chuck E Cheese only going once when I was really little, but learning about the history is so comforting and interesting. I have loved FNaF, ever since it came out, however just learning about these real-life "historical" attractions is just amusing.

    So, I may as well throw one of my memories about the brand in here, since we're already sorta doing that at the end.
    But I really remember when I found out about the characters' earlier looks. My half sister, who for the record I was the baby of the family by about ten years, usually took me to a location that had the retrofitted Rock-afire iteration, but at some point she drove me to one that I'd never been to. And I remember vividly that it still had the original Pizza Time Theater signage. There was a mural on the side of the building with the older Chuck with various directional signs, straight out of an old cartoon, down to one pointing at the sky to say how far away the moon was. Then we went in and it felt very different comparatively, not to mention the fact that Chuck and the gang looked far different and much, much bulkier, let alone it being a much smaller stage. That's when, I think, I got interested in the characters. I mean, as a six year old I was already reading massive books about Chuck Jones and the Looney Tunes. It just turned into a need to find out more about these characters.

    nah most of us agree on you about avengers chuck. as fun as the old advertisements were, his animatronic just looked wrong. his fur looks like a mess and his eyes make him look honestly depressed. avengers chuck still had the star that he stood on for a while at my location. although i am kinda sad to admit that despite being Mitzi, Helen's movements were extremely stiff. She looked like an exact copy of Chuck E. Cheese. which, to me, sucks a lot. Mostly because Mitzi had a lot of fluid movement because she was designed that way, so it feels like a massive underuse of a great animatronic. Makes me kinda wish that I had seen what she looked like in person.
    and the newest chuck... the one that's so obviously a mouse...
    yeah no i don't think anyone likes that guy. I've yet to find a single child who likes that version. In fact, I've seen more kids who are fans of Mr Munch.
    which my guess is that him being an alien makes him more approachable? with the others, you know what they're supposed to look like. but then with Munch, anything goes. Plus, he's fluffy and doesnt really have a defined shape. Not the cartoon Munch btw. Cartoon Munch is an imposter.
    also, the machine that takes all your tickets and turns them into a little receipt you hand to the clerk at the prize corner is Mr Munch themed. it has a little drawing of Munch holding a bunch of tickets. Its all clear glass so yiu can see your tickets being taken. The gimmick is that Mr Munch is eating the tickets. it actually makes munching sounds lol.

    There was a other retro fit for the Beagles aside from those barber guys. And there was a Michael Jackson KING 9 ft. tall character who replaced Elvis sometimes.

    Thanks for making this! Really showing my age here, but I was a Chuck E. Cheese kid in the mid-80s thru the 90s. While you point out the characters became watered down compared to the early 80s, they were even SADDER by the mid-late 90s when I was entering my teens and grown out of this. I remember going for a young relative's birthday and even by then the show seemed like a relic, a big theater room with these robots performing for no one, no kids really caring about them anymore... And that was in 1997! These poor characters, like forgotten toys.

    Someone actually found a complete set of Beagles animatronics, and donated it to an automobile museum in Volo, Illinois. The great thing is that they programmed completely new showtapes for them that build off the original ones, and are actually better. All the Beagles get to talk, and some of the showtapes even have unique dialogue. It's really cool, and I recommend anyone who's reading this to check it out. The museum has uploaded a couple showtapes to thier TH-cam channel, so you really have no excuse.

    I can totally understand why they'd shift to a higher energy entertainer for children. But I find the big, fat, lethargic, and kinda burt out earlier direction for Chuck much more endearing. Like the parody Chubby Cheese from Dexter's Lab.

      Didn't the adult version have prominent cleavage or something like that? I think Yesterworld Entertainment briefly mentioned it in his video discussing Chuck E. Cheese.

    I've decided to headcanon that the original Chuck is a different person from the new version. In fact, there's three Chucks- OG, post-company-marge 80s-90s version, and the post-Avenger modern version. The differences are so stark that it makes sense to me. OG was a rat who found this mouse with nothing more to him than his first name digging through the garbage. Charles hung off OG Chuck like nobody's business, and the old ass grew a soft spot for this poor kid. He took Charles under his wing, showed him the ropes, even let him write some scripts for the band, though the tone was way less crass than they were used to. Everyone liked the kid, and Chuck was getting on in his years, so he retired and gave everything to the new Chuck, even his name. Chuck loved his job, but realized that after so many years, he wasn't hip enough for the kids anymore. So, he tries to reinvent himself as Avenger Chuck. That never fully worked out, though. He was just too old to be hip. So, Chuck followed in the path of his old mentor- he found someone new. A much smaller mouse, yeah, but he was hip and cool and bouncing off the walls with energy. He was the perfect replacement. He's taken over now, and 90s Chuck has gone off to join the OG Chuck on some sunny beach far away.

    I think a lot of these animatronics were trying to replicate the Country Bear Jamboree at Disneyland and Magic Kingdom. The side comments between numbers and the hick voices of many characters seem very reminiscent of that show.
    Back in the day, many companies would just straight up try and copy ideas they saw at Disney, but bringing the concept to a more local and regional audience, many of whom had never been, at the time.
    Though a nearly-forgotten gem at MK (Disneyland's being long replaced), the show was immensely popular when MK opened in 1971, where for years the show consistently had 60-90 minute waits. Before rollercoasters were common, animatronics were all the rage and fascinated people who had never seen robots moving around.
