Hi. Scott Curtis here. The voice of Buzzy, and also the 12 yr old Bobby. A sincere thank you to CFSAS for not only filming this, but for the remaster. It looks great! I came out to see CC in 1995 and was completely blown away. I had only seen this in the mock up at Disney Studios in Burbank, and finally seeing it in the theater blew that mock up away. It was one of my favorite credits and it’s really nice to see it had such a following with true fans. I had no idea the success it had... it was pre internet. Again thank you for putting in all the effort to capture something that I was so honored to do. Long live Buzzy! And I really hope he is stored somewhere and not stolen. And a thank you to Robin Lopez of the NBA for returning Buzzy’s clothes when he found out they were stolen... such a great gesture.
Thank you so much for your voice work! Cranium Command is my favorite attraction I never got to experience, which really stinks (my first trip to Disney was in 2007 when I was 8). Your work here is incredible!!!
@@EmperorHenryTheGreat Yeah, you mama was there listening to it. Also SHOW ME THE RECORD PRODUCED BY ANCIENT BABYLON. Literally he says ¨ever recorded¨.
“To be recorded” can have multiple interpretations. It can refer to recording (audio/video) like you’re taking it as, or recording as in documenting. If you take it that way, the ancient documented one counts as recorded too lol.
Oh my god, it actually exists. I have a very vague memory of going on it when I was younger but I always thought it was a weird fever dream because barely anyone knew what I was talking about
I keep saying this: what Disney (and Universal) needs to do is recreate all extinct/shit rides in VR (oculus). This would create a great revenue for the company AND preserve it for archive for future generations
@@macaroostudios my thought was, it doesn’t have to release all at once. Create and release one or two attraction every few months, it would be an a la cart payment model, let the customer pick and choose. Lots to work with
Fun Fact: this short was directed by Gary Toursdale and Kirk Wise (Beauty and the Beast, Atlantis The lost Empire) and one of the animators was Pete Docter (Monsters Inc, Up, Inside Out, Soul)
In the days when this was first made, you'd probably never get a signal inside the building, especially since its doubtful that Disney would have had cell transmitters on their property back when cell phones were just a luxury for rich businessmen. Hell, even when cell phones were gaining popularity, a solid building could obliterate reception. New advancements in antenna technology and the wide proliferation of cell towers is why we can enjoy reception even indoors away from windows now.
@@spunchbop47428 First off, Cranium command opened in 1989, second, in 2006, you'd be lucky to get a signal inside a concrete building. Try again, kiddo.
To anyone claiming the Buzzy animatronic was stolen, I think some clarification is needed. After finding this out, I texted an ex-girlfriend who has worked at Disney World for years and asked her directly. She confirmed that there WAS indeed a theft at Cranium Command, though it wasn't the animatronics, but rather Buzzy's hat, coat and rubber gloves. There's supposedly a huge collector demand for Disney park memorabilia, so things like this happening aren't new. So where did Buzzy go exactly? Simple. In order to prevent any further theft, they retired both him and the Hypothalumus animatronic and stowed them away for safe keeping. No confirmation on the supposed hydraulic oil leak or why he was removed in such a slap-dash manner, but we speculated that it was simply because the ride was defunct already and there was no reason to keep the wires in any sort of working condition. Long story short, it would have been impossible for anyone to actually steal this thing, let alone both Buzzy and Hypothalumus. Between the weight of the animatronics, the distance that multiple people would have to go in order to move them without being spotted and the means of even having back-and-forth access, it's a completely unrealistic scenario. The simplest answers are usually the right ones.
The problem with that is that it's extremely unsafe to just cut those cords like that. It would be way easier and safer to unplug it. The only logical explanations that doesn't involve stealing is that some rookie did a crap job at removing Buzzy safely, and/or it got lost on it's way to archives. If Disney did have it surely they would say something, but it's very likely they don't. Here's some in-depth theories: th-cam.com/video/Nu5bR_89W7U/w-d-xo.html
I forgot about the Monty Python-esque animation for the heads Lol. I remember that line though "where do you think you are DISNEY WORLD!?" XD Thanks for uploading this amazing piece of history! I know they said no video taping but I'm glad for once it's being ignored Lol. I would love to see this in a VR experience.
A lot of those heads were actually animators and people who worked for Disney. In fact, the first heads that you saw were of Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale, the directors of the preshow film, who would famously go on to direct _Beauty and the Beast, The Hunchback of Notre Dame,_ and _Atlantis: The Lost Empire._
That preshow was so hilarious and the animation was so well done. Sure there were some dated references (like the Ernest P. Worrell joke and the disparaging reference to talk show hosts who nowadays are held in somewhat high regard) but it was still great.
I mean, I think Talk Show Host still remains a good joke. Among the crowd, there must be at least some people who don't like them. How many people hate Jimmy Kimmel or Fallon? I mean, at the time this was made, Howard Stern was at its speak and that bloke who's sole gimmick was being a bitter disinterested man, but hey.
@@Piss_Off_PlzExcept that they already did make a joke throwing shade at politicians at the end of the ride when the chicken says he's going into politics.
I think Schwarzenegger references are still fair game, pop-culture-wise, but I don’t think anyone under the age of 30 has any idea who Ernest P Worrell is
@@supme7558He was talking about the heart's left and right ventricles who were played by Kevin Nealon and Dana Carvey from Saturday Night Live. Kevin and Dana were also reprising their roles as the Hans and Franz characters from SNL.
@Awesome power They should of just kept this gem going and restored it not wreck it and make a guardians ride because when guardians becomes not so cool they will rip it apart again and make something else!
Oh man, I remember seeing this as a 14 year old boy way back in '99 with my parents. I'm embarrassed to say it awoke something in me and I had to sneak away from them to go on it again. I had no idea what it was called so to find this again randomly is really bizarre!
My boyfriend (now husband) and I had a bet back in 2003. He really thought that there were headphones under the benches that you had to wear during the show. I told him he was mistaken. I was correct, he had to buy me a Mickey visor that I was eyeing. 😊
I'll admit that this show had a really interesting premise, but in the end i completely understand why they closed it because the wonders of life pavilion as a whole was becoming so outdated that if it was still open today i think it would have a very hard time appealing to modern day theme park goers because every attraction in the pavilion sadly looked like it belonged in the 1990s. There are far more appealing attractions at epcot anyway. At least the pavilion itself is still at epcot today so it will never fade from the memories of the people who got to experience it.
ruby tolnai SAME I’ve probably been obsessed (buzzy being my fav character) over cranium command since it was stolen up to now and he’ll allways be my favourite 😄
Recently, some footage came out of the show scenes still in place. Buzzy and Hypothalamus are tagged to be preserved for The Walt Disney Archives, but nothing else is. I think we're going to see something happen at the former Wonders of Life very shortly, but alas it will see this attraction finally hit the skids.
They were rumored stolen not long ago, not official. Looks dated anyways maybe now storage, fixing for new cranium command!, or it was rumored they maybe would be like in a ride....
I recall her playing Alice in the televised miniseries, Alice in Wonderland back in the 1980s. The one with Scott Biao. It was my first introduction to the Through the Looking Glass arc.
Anyone asking why did they shut this down, notice that this person didn’t sneak into the park and turn on the ride, this is a fully opened Epcot Wonder of Life Pavilion on what seems to be a nice day in Orlando, FL. NO ONE went to this pavilion after like 2003 at the latest. I do miss it dearly, but am glad the times have changed and I more miss my childhood than the actual exhibit. I kinda miss the days when Epcot wasn’t one of the more popular parks at Disney and it was frequently this empty, especially in the offseasons (October-November or late January-Early March).
This attraction inspired the Pixar film Inside Out, which is thematically similar to Cranium Command. Inside, the riders had to travel inside the mind of a twelve-year-old boy. However, it showed an incredibly strict sergeant, and the boy’s mind in a hostile environment in school. Considering the fact that I wouldn’t have enjoyed it myself, Cranium Command was definitely qualified for retirement.
First heard about this attraction today and it's a shame what happened with the animatronic character lately. Seeing this I've pretty much fallen in love with Buzzy's character (he reminds me of Radar) though it's a bit weird Buzzy has a different voice in the pre-show and the main attraction. Just going to assume it's because when controlling somebody the characters use a voice modifier or something to match the person they're running.
I’m so sad I never knew about this until Buzzy got stolen, it’s a really interesting show, kinda cute tbh. The realistic human heads edited into the cartoon is kinda weird but also Buzzy is adorable so idk, I wish it still ran and also that Buzzy will be found and put back together properly
That was very cool. I am so glade that I did get to see it case you recorded it. I thought I was going to go threw the rest of my life never gotten to see this awesome show. So thank you. Its sad that I grew up in such a poor family that I missed out on this and other cool stuff like Nick Studios and stuff. And I thought that when I got older I would have the time to go then but nope its all gone and I will never ever get to see any of it and that is what brakes my heart. And I know that all this would be making money case there is way to many people missing it and they would love to see this reopened but no one cares and they would rather let it wrote then let us get to enjoy it for one last time. JUST SAD. And so the only way its going to be seen and to be able to live on forever is case of you. And I really do thank you for that.
IKR? This attraction might be something that Matt Neff's easy targets of D.W. and Caillou may have beneffited from in the hopes that it'll reform them into sweet little angels!
God, I was just reminded of this today. I only was on it once, and it scared the living daylights out of me as a kid. Even watching now, I'm getting overwhelmed. Buzzy was a walking nightmare for me for years
this just makes me wonder what other rides will eventually be abandoned and left to rot by disney in the future. rides we take for granted today, y’know?
Thanks for uploading this! I only ever did this once, when I was 14 in 1996, and never got another chance. But this really stuck with me all these years. When I think about the hypothalamus, I still think of that depressed-sounding robot controlling all the important stuff. I remembered George Wendt and the bladder guy, but somehow completely forgot that Hans & Franz were the heart. Never realized Charles Grodin was the left brain, despite having watched Beethoven many times; but always remembered him leaving in protest. Never realized Jon Lovitz was the right brain, despite being a fan of The Critic; but the images of him going to war were seared into my brain. Also, very brief Star Wars references at 5:38. It's like Disney knew!
@@meganmodjewski3282 from everything I've seen. There was no fluid everywhere. Plus it's a 600lb animatronic. Though Disney is hush hush about this stuff. So until we get an official statement. We can't know. Plus I've heard that they caught someone. But dunno how accurate that is.
@@ScorpionsFatality I saw that from what people can tell right now the story of the whole animatronic being stolen in rumor. However there was an official robbery report filed with OCPD stating that Buzzy's hat, jacket' and hands were stolen and someone was arrested in that theft.
I doubt they would run animatronic on hydraulics, since hydraulics have a slow response time and poor precision control. Most are actuated by solenoid motors and electric stepper motors to allow a grater degree of responsiveness and precision over what hydraulics and pneumatics can offer. Generally you use hydraulics when the load is very heavy, since hydraulics aren't constrained as much by mass as a self contained actuator. You can have a big hydraulic pump elsewhere that can work to move a great load without adding a lot to that load or the load of the support structure.
@@kauske some are saying that the arm he sat on was run by hydralic (since it had to hold the 600lb Buzzy and move itself too) but that Buzzy himself was not hydralic.
The same question of how bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in our bodies are controlled, if they have brains, how do they function if they have cells themselves and so on. Must be less complicated compaired to a an animal or a human which is (at least on Earth) the most complicated creature of them all.
Never gotten to experience this till now and I can see why buzzy was so be love let us hope maby one day this'll be reborn maby with a inside out style reboot
Sand Dreemurr Steele It’s Kirk Wise! He co-directed the pre-show for this attraction along with Gary Trousdale. They would go on to direct Beauty and the Beast, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Atlantis.
I can see why they removed this ride. It was incredibly outdated, even in 2006. Unfortunately, this was not a timeless classic. It's amazing they kept it going as long as they did. I remember enjoying it as a kid in the 90s, though.
No wonder, as I'd personally like to refer to this as the boogeyman of theme park attractions based on the only two experiences I've had there, along with my family's reception from said experiences.
You mean like inside out? Seriously though, the same person behind this went on to help make inside out, so you could consider it a spiritual successor that got a much wider audience.

@ I don’t remember but I ended up dropping out of med school and studying something else so everything turned out alright in the end hahaha
12:43--"Buzzy, you've put us in an explosive situation!"
"Explosive" is right... 😖
Whoever voiced Commander Buzzy in the pre show did a better job than in the real show.
Buzzy is voiced by Scott Curtis
this just makes me wonder what other rides will eventually be abandoned and left to rot by disney in the future. rides we take for granted today, y’know?
Best quality of the ride I've ever seen! Thank you! #FindBuzzy
Thanks for uploading this! I only ever did this once, when I was 14 in 1996, and never got another chance. But this really stuck with me all these years. When I think about the hypothalamus, I still think of that depressed-sounding robot controlling all the important stuff.
I remembered George Wendt and the bladder guy, but somehow completely forgot that Hans & Franz were the heart. Never realized Charles Grodin was the left brain, despite having watched Beethoven many times; but always remembered him leaving in protest. Never realized Jon Lovitz was the right brain, despite being a fan of The Critic; but the images of him going to war were seared into my brain.
Also, very brief Star Wars references at 5:38. It's like Disney knew!
It's so sad to see that this is still intact in its entirety
Not really since the Buzzy animatronic was supposedly reported stolen back in November and hydralic fluid sprayed everything when they stole him.
@@meganmodjewski3282 from everything I've seen. There was no fluid everywhere. Plus it's a 600lb animatronic.
Though Disney is hush hush about this stuff. So until we get an official statement. We can't know. Plus I've heard that they caught someone. But dunno how accurate that is.
@@ScorpionsFatality I saw that from what people can tell right now the story of the whole animatronic being stolen in rumor. However there was an official robbery report filed with OCPD stating that Buzzy's hat, jacket' and hands were stolen and someone was arrested in that theft.
I doubt they would run animatronic on hydraulics, since hydraulics have a slow response time and poor precision control. Most are actuated by solenoid motors and electric stepper motors to allow a grater degree of responsiveness and precision over what hydraulics and pneumatics can offer.
Generally you use hydraulics when the load is very heavy, since hydraulics aren't constrained as much by mass as a self contained actuator. You can have a big hydraulic pump elsewhere that can work to move a great load without adding a lot to that load or the load of the support structure.
@@kauske some are saying that the arm he sat on was run by hydralic (since it had to hold the 600lb Buzzy and move itself too) but that Buzzy himself was not hydralic.
Cant believe i haven't heard of this ride till now.
They control the brain... what controls their brains?
Prixy Prot Maybe theres commandos that control their brains. And so on
YETI JUST ATE A DOG with shit and piss It’s an endless loop of beings controlling other beings.
The same question of how bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in our bodies are controlled, if they have brains, how do they function if they have cells themselves and so on. Must be less complicated compaired to a an animal or a human which is (at least on Earth) the most complicated creature of them all.
They don’t control the brain.
They don’t even exist.
They’re just a clever visual metaphor used to personify the abstract concept of thought.
Spinel are you really this stupid they control it
9:40 fun fact, the heart was played by Hans and Franz from SNL
BUZZY'S GONE AWOL I REPEAT: BUZZY HAS GONE AWOL.
We always loved this show and really miss it. Thank you for doing this.
Buzzy's voice sounds like a 8 or 9-year-old little girl as an animatronic puppet compared to Scott Curtis' 14-year-old voice
The animatronic is Scott Curtis
Bring home buzzy
General Knowledge is hands down one of the most badass things to ever come out of the Disney machine.
Am i the only one who thinks they should make this into a movie
Like i know we have inside out but i think this would be way more awsome
Yeah I’d love a cranium command movie
*BRING HIM HOME*
General Knowledge sounds like a cross between Robin Williams and Tom Kenny.
“WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, DISNEYWORLD?!”
*“…yes.”*
Never gotten to experience this till now and I can see why buzzy was so be love let us hope maby one day this'll be reborn maby with a inside out style reboot
Basically Pre-Inside Out.
I heard inside out was heavily influenced by this
I swear sometimes General Knowledge sounds like Long John Baldry, the voice of Dr. Ivo Robotnik from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog
He sounds like Robin Williams.
PINGAS
Absolutely one of my very favorite attractions ever at Walt Disney World! So good to get to visit it again, however distantly.
That preshow is amazing
It is. I wish someone would leak it in source!
Oh wow the nostalgia is amazing. I wish I had been able to see this show in person more than once. Thank you for the amazing video!
It's been my pleasure!
It'll be a miracle to have all the old attractions revived exactly as they were first built, starting with this one.
@19:00 Too bad the Hypothalamus didn't pop up with a Beavis "Boooiiiiinnnngg!" sound effect.
even in 2006 talk show hosts couldn't catch a break.
They should open it again with an Inside Out theme
I have bad news. They’re taking this out and putting play pavilion in
TheBoyScout01 darn it! 😔
Noah Z TV yeah, it’s sad
*BRING* 👏 *BUZZY* 👏 *HOME*
"Madame you forgot your husband." * pause * "That's you're husband? Oh, have a wonderful day."
I can't believe they actually insult someone at the end of this. And the earnest refrance was funny.
Wow, this is a blast from the past! I went to this thing too, way back in 1998, and I thought it was pretty fun. So sad to know that it's gone now.
This is like watching a child's version of SNL, reason being, the ventricles are Hanz and Franz.
My favorite lines
"EHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DISNEY WORLD?"
"AND NO VIDEO TAPING!"
*records*
Disney: **closes down ride**
Animatronic: **gets stolen**
Disney: **Surprised Pikachu Meme**
someone a few years ago uploaded a video of them sneaking into cranium command and the doors were literally wide open, no wonder he was stolen
*I mean BobCat Goldthwait as the Adrenal Gland.... That's an Oscar on it's own....*
6:14 😂 dude I wish I could have enjoyed this ride in person
in the future they should replace this with a inside out themed ride
Tyler Daise Its certainly plausible, as the attraction is mostly still there. All you need is the interest...
It's a shame that rides like this and Body Wars didn't last on a smaller scale until New rides could join them.
Or at least make it into an animated film...
@@ClearwaterMK2
Inside Out took lots of inspiration from this ride
Noooooooooo
Man this show really shows how stress and a panic attack happens
i love buzzy
I miss Cranium Command.
Let’s Support Buzzy By Saying #BRINGHIMHOME !
I feel like they should remake this ride into an inside out themed ride for the modern version.
R.I.P. Buzzy
1989 - 2018
1:30 - (a) Cadet Ann is 18. (b) The second Cranium Commando was the first one's mother. (c) To get to the other side.
That robot reminds me of Baliewick from Sofia the First I wouldn’t be surprised if the robot is voiced by the same guy.
Sand Dreemurr Steele It’s Kirk Wise! He co-directed the pre-show for this attraction along with Gary Trousdale. They would go on to direct Beauty and the Beast, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Atlantis.
This should get remade into an Inside Out attraction.
3:03 Do I make myself clear?!
Yes, sir!
I can’t hear you!
YES, SIR!
That’s better!
Am I the only one who gets the Ernest reference? My mom used to love these movies with a passion.
2:58 Ernest is staring into my soul.
This video makes me cry thinking about how Buzzy is no longer safe. RIP Buzzy. I hope you are being taken care of - wherever you are
I can see why they removed this ride. It was incredibly outdated, even in 2006. Unfortunately, this was not a timeless classic. It's amazing they kept it going as long as they did. I remember enjoying it as a kid in the 90s, though.
No wonder, as I'd personally like to refer to this as the boogeyman of theme park attractions based on the only two experiences I've had there, along with my family's reception from said experiences.
Not when I can't get over the fact Journey into Imagination is gone. I never got a chance to see the Dreamfinder in person!
Poor Buzzy... I wonder where he is now.
Thanks for posting!
I think it’s kinda terrifying how there are heads on the floor
They should remake this but with a morden theme once they get Buzzy and the other stuff back.
You mean like inside out? Seriously though, the same person behind this went on to help make inside out, so you could consider it a spiritual successor that got a much wider audience.
