- this video gave me such a hard time my editing app would NOT WORK so there are a few segments that look a little frozen and janky so hopefully that sorts itself out somehow. anyways i like animatronics and now so will you! (threat)
i wasn't able to write in any credits or anything because the timing was lagging so badly once i got to that part so my apologies! i will try to remember to come back and add those into the description when i chapter this out!

Good news about Buzzy: The face is just a rubber cast made as a spare. It's not taken off of the animatronic. You can tell because the rubber where the eyes go is still present, and the seam for the glasses to enter is unbroken. If Buzzy is out there, he's not faceless. Great video!
yea that whole concept completely slipped my mind somehow LOL but yes that is very good news! i still have hope that he might get found in some capacity someday
fun fact; dr. dux is the nickname of one of the people who worked on the chuck e cheese animatronics, the animatronic was named after the guy but the character's actual name is unknown, however it is assumed to be dr. quack or something similar to the man's name
there were so many names i was finding for him so that makes a lot of sense ...
"Archive"... That sounds ominous... I was hoping when this was all over, I could go back to Alabama and see the Gulf again. That sounds... Unlikely.
Coming back to this video because I adore it so much! I have always wondered why the big pizza chains [Domino's and Pizza Hut. Some Little Caesar's locations had animatronics], never made their own animatronic/arcade hybrids. Especially Domino's with their Noid mascot. Will Vinton created The Noid, The California Raisins, and a lot of beloved 1980s characters [I'm a 2000s kid but my mom introduced me to a lot of these vintage mascots and cartoons], but his studio was bought by Phill Knight [NIKE founder] and Travis Knight, who KICKED HIM OUT OF HIS OWN STUDIO and turned it into Laika. Vinton's story is one of the saddest ones, but there is a bright side, his version of the M&Ms characters are still used today and are still popular.
I wish they could have saved the Toys R Us Times Square Jurassic Park T-Rex animatronic, it looked so amazing! As someone who adores dinos [and my mom, an 80s person, also loves dinos and even introduced me to Land Before Time], I wish they could've preserved it. I'm especially mad over how Chuck E Cheese treats their animatronics, considering all the hard work that was put into them. I honestly wish another company would buy CEC out and give the entire chain another reboot, preferably with a more cartoon-ier, sort of throwback design for the characters. Especially for Chuck, who IMO, desperately needs to look more like a mouse and less like the gross rat/mouse hybrid Rockstar Chuck is. I have always been fascinated by mascots who change so much over the years, such as Chuck E, Ronald Mcdonald, and Jack from Jack In The Box. Jack especially, because his past is actually overshadowed by his present. He dates all the way back to the 50s, but IMO, the best incarnation was the 1970s one. He had a cartoony design, his mouth could actually move, and while he was more chill, he still had a fair amount of snark to him. His friends were awesome too, especially Secret Sauce Agent! Sadly, only three commercials [Baseball, In The Park, Jack In The Box Animated Commercial 1970s], and three comics with records [personal favorite being How A House Makes Noise] are on TH-cam, but I'm glad they're here. I just hope more of the 70s era of Jack In The Box will be found one day. Sorry if I've been repeating myself, but I'm currently hyperfixated on mascots, mascot history, animatronics, and 2000s toys.
ikr like i don't HATE the new designs for certain mascots but a lot of times the older ones are preferable not even just because of nostalgia but because they genuinely just look better and more timeless,,
I love all your videos on animatronics!
THANK YOU they're always my favorite videos to make :3
yippee i love animatronics this was so interesting
Just subbed!!! Good thing the animatronic on my pfp is doing great
omg i need to make a video about the moonrockers
@@xephrou you should!!!
Love the Dr. Dux fan art!
thank you !! 💕
This makes my brain so happy, :D
yay i'm so happy to hear that!! ^_^
LETS GO the happy chemicals!!!
Fr for some reason I felt like getting eyes from show biz pizza animatronics because I wanted to make my own animatronic (never did.) but i really liked the idea of becoming an engineer for some reason
Honestly, I hope there will be an arcade and animatronic pizza joint comeback tbh.
Ur Ur Ur Ur Ur Ur Ur ur Ur Ur ur
YEAHHHHHH im so excited to watch this video
safe to say it was outstanding as always ❤️🫶‼️‼️
Maybe the Cranium Command attraction should have an Inside Out themed show.
Your videos are so well put together! They deserve more attention
thank you!!
I absolutey HATE IT when idiots who work at places are so careless around animatronics!
randomly stumbled across your channel today, I’m really loving the content! keep up the great work :3
thank you so much!!
This was a great video! I have always been interested in animatronics, and it all started with a Studio C Chuck E Cheese animatronic. A shame they're destroying the bots, though. While Avenger/early 2000s era Chuck E was my childhood, I actually prefer PTT era Chuck. He was snarkier, and had many funny quips, kind of like Oscar The Grouch. I also wish they kept Crusty the Cat, he was so cute and made a great foil to Chuck E. Chuck E Cheese actually also led me to another hyperfixation of mine: mascots. Whether it be fast food, food, drink, or theme park, I ADORE mascots. The 1970s animated version of Jack from Jack In The Box is one who is sadly underrated [overshadowed by the current era Jack], which is a shame, because he has such a cool design, and was voiced by Paul Winchell, the original voice of Tigger and inventor of the artificial heart. There's three ads [Baseball, In The Park, Jack In The Box Animated Commercial 1970s], three comics with records [How A House Makes Noise, Where Oil Comes From, How Pain Helps Us], and the Take Life A Little Easier jingle record on TH-cam if you're interested. Other mascots I adore are The Noid [Domino's Pizza, it's a shame what happened, but that wasn't Domino's fault.], The California Raisins [I love them, and I love Will Vinton's work in general, and I honestly just feel really bad for what happened to Vinton], Donny & Dottie Domino [Domino's Pizza, there's a compilation of Donny's ads here on TH-cam], Loveable Truly [Post Alpha Bits], Linus [Post Crispy Critters], the Kellogg's cereal mascots, and most of the General Mills mascots [I always felt bad for the Trix Rabbit, he very rarely gets any Trix]. Speaking of Will Vinton, I highly recommend watching the documentary Claydream, it's a good documentary, as bittersweet as it is.
I'm not too fond of the Rock-A-Fire Explosion though [but I do like Mitzi, as I can relate to her], but I do enjoy a lot of other animatronic bands.
I ALSO LOVE MASCOTS i have a strange love for cereal mascots tbh but my favorite by far will always be the pillsbury dough boy because like. he just embodies everything i love, he's small and he's squishy and whimsical and i would be his best friend.. also a big kool aid man fan lol i need to do a video about mascots soon
@@xephrou A video on mascots sounds awesome! Please talk about some of the more obscure ones, such as the 1970s Jack In The Box characters. They were very cartoon-y, and TBH, I prefer them over the Mcdonaldland characters. I'd also like to see you cover Donny Domino and Dottie Domino, they were also very cool, but sadly very obscure. Surprised Domino's is doing nothing with them, considering it's the 30th anniversary of the Donny ads this year [there's a compilation of some here on TH-cam]. There's even a Jack In The Box Wiki, which has tons of cool info on the mascots and the chain's history!
Ah, coming in to clarify some things in regards to Buzzy. So firstly, there's an image here showing the figure in a red jumpsuit and blue hat. Some may be confused by this and the fact that the figure doesn't look like Buzzy in the animated pre-show. This is because he was originally a different character, Captain Cortex. (I am only mentioning this because I am terminally obsessed with this scrapped character, and he deserves acknowledgment. ❤)
As for the Buzzy mask, that is not from the animatronic. It's a pull. You can tell based on the fact that his eye sockets are still covered with rubber skin. No hate to you. It's just a common misconception spread around.
There's actually a ton of information about Cranium Command, and while Buzzy is still missing, a bunch of things have been found such as audio of the Colossal Pictures version, pictures of the Captain Cortex maquette and General Knowledge's beta design, storyboards for the pre-show and the only existing footage of the animatronic when it was Captain Cortex, for example.
Honestly, I wish there was more coverage on the topic of Cranium Command beyond the theft. There's a lot to it that many are missing out on. Anyway, I'm leaving it here before I write a whole book on Cranium Command. I could go on for days about the silly little brain show if nobody stopped me. If you want more information, I highly recommend the Wonders of Life Archive.❤❤❤
to be completely honest yea i do think i could have done a much better job sleuthing into this if i thought a little harder about how animatronics work, i did think that was a little strange that it looked like his eyes would have just been painted on.. i do plan on making a disney attractions video in the future! i'm not sure which ones i'll cover yet but i might consider revisiting this topic with a broader look!
@xephrou Would love to see it. Also you're fine. :D Misinformation about the topic is easy to come by. Even I fell for it. The only reason I know anything more about it now is because I couldn't stop searching about it. I'm still glad you mentioned the Buzzy/CaptainCortex animatronic. I think you're the first person I've seen mentioning him in a lost animatronics video, which is odd since I'd expect such a viral story to be covered.
A really interesting video! I knew nothing about animatronics till now, this is cool!
A lot of Rockafire shows were scrapped (billy bob's pizza circus.etc) and even more are being scrapped now thanks to the CEC 2.0 remodel
3:07 are these geese? The beaks are way wrong if they're supposed to be geese. They look like seagulls lol
yea they're geese! didn't mention it in the video but the g's in the androids' names are referring to their previously being geese!! but yea i definitely agree they look more like seagulls with those pointy beaks
I still think that destroying animatronics is pointless, wasteful, and super disrespectful towards the people who worked on the animatronics. This doesn't necessarily just apply to Chuck E Cheese, but they are the biggest offender of destroying animatronics. Weirdly, Jack In The Box did something similar in the 80s, but towards the drive-thru clown heads and clown head signs. In the late 70s the chain was struggling, so they decided to become more mature, which included dropped Jack, as well as the Jack In The Box Bunch. They blew up some of the Jack clown heads in the commercials, and sent most of them to junkyards, but thankfully some managed to survive, and there's even a few in museums. Jack In The Box's history is incredibly crazy, this is just the tip of the iceberg. TBH, I prefer 70s era Jack, he had a more cartoony design, and was more upbeat, while still having a bit of snark. Kind of weird how similar my Jack In The Box and Chuck E Cheese hyperfixations are, starting with me preferring the older designs , right down to both chains destroying their history.
yea i think it's sad in particular that chuck e cheese animatronics are being so deliberately destroyed mainly because they are some of the better known ones,, it's something extra sad to see that prominent animatronics that are immensely important to the history of both the brand and the concept of animatronic dining entertainment are just as susceptible to being wiped out as any other lesser-known ones,, to "protect" their brand by destroying the very thing they're associated with just doesn't seem like a good business strategy
I just noticed your intro has digimon... I love digimawn
omg i also love digimawn...
Mega underrated
thank you
ty for this goober autism dopamine farm video!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :3
this was exactly my thought process while writing this
cool!!!!!!!!!!! :3@@xephrou
endoskeleton was a fnaf thing, not every manufacturer calls it that.
oh okay
But it’s still a term that lots of people recognize, so it’s valid
@@Webb_Studios no
what do the professionals call them then? (genuine question)
@@gemwolfz2860 mech
Weren’t certain looney birds turned into munch jrs? I have a memory of seeing a small munch animatronic that didnt talk but popped in and out of its tin. Also, were the spider prop, sun
, and moon animatronics refitted in any way or just scrapped?
i think it was some kind of little gopher thing in the stage that would pop up, either that or like a "billy bob jr." if my mind serves me correctly.. i know for sure that there were munch jr. animatronics but there's not a lot of coverage of them because they were always one of the first stage components to stop working properly and hardly anyone bothered to fix them,, and i believe any other existing props were scrapped, everything that was too outdoorsy to fit the new stage show
@@xephrou Ah, thanks. Its such a shame though. All that beautiful artistry was just thrown away. Something Something the consequences of capitalism
fnaf movie
october 27th i will have something specifically for the fnaf movie :3
im looking foward to it! love ur videos btw
