I am impressed to see Norman still existing! One of my superiors owned two of the original Kraftwerk "robots" from 1991 (Ralf and Henning). He got them on Craigslist back in 1995. Florian and Fritz's animatronics are most likely in a dump in Germany.

Idk why buy him talking about how depressing it is that Chuck E Cheese is throwing out your childhood and then immediately switching to “I’m the proud owner of the air chuck ones” made me laugh

Imagine destroying what made you famous to the point where you're almost unrecognizable

I'm a huge fan of CEC and the rockafire explosion, animatronics in general, it's awesome to see more youtubers and bigger channels cover these topics as the community is relatively niche. I've been a part of the community for a while and there's still always things being found and discussed.

Fun fact about the mario bros live-action movie, the directors didn't want to make a mario movie but a sci-fi dystopia movie. However they couldn't get the funding to make their movie; so they agreed to make the mario movie and turn it into the movie they wanted. Not only that but it was terribly managed, actors were overheated (even those outside the suits) and arguments over the script happened often, as the directors changes to make THEIR movie ended up changing the script every day. The actors even went as far as to forget memorising the script, as there was no point since it'll change the next day. The actor for Bowser even argued this with the director and nearly quit due to how badly managed it was; the rest of the staff begged him to return and showed distaste for the directors themselves; so bowsers actor stayed to finish filming after he cooled off. Bob hoskins (the actor of mario) ended up injuring his arm due to yet another on set problem where his arm how slammed in the car door and had to wear a disguised cast through the rest of the movie. It didn't help they were literally drinking alcohol to get through the insanity of the movie which lead to luigi's actor accidently driving the van badly due to how drunk he was. Bob hoskins went on an interview and said that filming for the mario bros movie was "the worst experience in his life".

I don't think somebody could pay me to get close to one now, but I do enjoy learning about all the different ones and what's happened to them. Thank you for doing all the research and giving us this video.

Its cool to see some bigger youtubers shed some light on this obscure topic, ive always been very fond of animatronic entertainment and it saddens me to see how so many famous attractions are just lost forever, I hope one day animatronic restaurants will be revived, but i highly doubt it

I agree!

Chuck E Cheese and Fnaf both have similar concepts but also different ideas- but both will forever give nostalgic memories. :D

While I can't really relate to experiencing the nostalgia of Animatronic Restaurants. Since in Australia, they never became a thing. The idea of animatronic restaurants absolutely fascinated me, the first time I was exposed to this idea was with the release of Markiplier's Five nights at Freddy's playthrough. And I developed a morbid curiosity and found their designs unsettling, and wondering how children could watch the performances without getting scared lol. If I ever make my way to America, I'd most certainly like to checkout an animatronic restaurant, before they all close down lol. But this video was very informative, and taught me about animatronic restaurants and their history.

There was actually an Australian Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre (renamed to Charlie Cheese's Pizza Playhouse since I guess "chuck" in Australian English means "to throw up") in Surfer's Paradise, Queensland that opened in March 1981. They relocated to a location in Carina, Queensland in 1982 (Surfer's Paradise also was the first international PTT to open, and the first PTT to close, even though they relocated). Carina would close between 1984 and 1986, and since then CEC has not returned to Australia.

@CECBowlingGreen Yeah, but that was before I was born and I don't live in Queensland lol. I'm not sure why animatronic restaurants never took off in Australia. But I'd assume It'd be because of our pubs, RSLs and beaches, and there wasn't really much of a need for them. Most of my childhood for special occasions, we'd just go the RSL and get lunch or dinner, or go the beach and have a BBQ or something. good times lol 😅

I was hardly ever able to go to Chuck E. Cheese but I wish I'd been able to go more often. I'm quite fascinated with animatronics. I hope I can make my own someday. It's not likely, but man would it be cool.

Northridge wasn't touched since the 90s. The 80s looked very different.

I’m glad my local Chuck E. Cheese hasn’t been 2.0 remodeled yet. The last time I went there was I think months ago, and it seemed they replaced the old playground with new arcade machines. Still sad, but at least they still have the animatronics.

i think it's really cool that this video released just around the time i got fixated on the Rock-Afire Explosion!! i love these silly little air pressurised guys and i'm so glad they're getting the attention and love they deserve :) they're super interesting to research and i love finding out new things about them!! also, interesting thing about that Clown animatronic: there was a theme park called "Mundo Magico" in Chile, and there's a promotional ad that, for a second, shows an animatronic resembling an older man that appears to be a retrofit of the Clown animatronic! this implies that there were more than one Clown mech produced (or even a whole animatronic!), since the Clown in its original state still sits in Creative Engineering's warehouse. there's another short video lying around that shows a couple seconds of this retrofitted animatronic in action, showing what its mouth movements look like. nothing of this animatronic's showtape(s) have resurfaced to my knowledge.

Fun fact: the rockafire explosion appeared at a theme park called funderland in cork Ireland for a few years from 2015-1018 before being retired probably due to deterioration, so in a way, they were still performing (although under the name fatz and the hillbilly band)

I was searching these comments for someone else mentioning that. Billy Bob's Pizza Wonderland is the last public exhibition of the Rock-A-Fire Explosion and recently got an overhaul. Reportedly all of the animatronics are back in tip-top shape. I'd love to go down to Barboursville and check it out just for nostalgia but a 38-year-old guy wandering in by himself is liable to set off some red flags with someone.

The only animatronic i lived through was just chuck e cheese. Not munch’s band, but at my local CEC, they kept Chuck E, and idk what happened to the others. I would go CRAZY every time chuck e had “woken up” or something. He would dance and “sing”. There are videos on youtube right now with the same chuck e cheese i grew up with, before they turned his stage to a wall I also was there for tickets, and tokens, etc. i have a faint memory of something that counted the tickets for you and printed reciepts showing how many you had so you could go to the prize counter.

My little brother celebrated his birthday in that Northridge CA CeC party room! It looks EXACTLY like in the video still. Animatronics have seen better days though.

You can see the hard work he put in this video

Jeez that Goomba had a rough life

This was a cool video! Btw the Air Chuck ones are firee!🔥🔥

I was literally just watching tuv's video about animatronics and i didnt realize morbid was in the video until he mentioned it (this is the first time ive ever watched any of his videos!)

Lol I read the title and assumed it was something like “top ten celebrities and where they are right now” just imagining an animatronic washed up on the side of the road drugged out

i'm still sad chuck e cheese got rid of the tokens, tickets and animatronics. it doesn't feel fun or rewarding anymore

Been here since you had 20k, your content has gotten so much better, and I hope it will get even more better!

seems a bit extreme to destroy them... atleast arron fetcher is trying to preserve his characters and lets people buy parts

I think FNAF accidently popularize the animatronic scenes again. I doubt any corporation would bring them back, but I think we wouldn't have so many animatronic recreation stories if FNAF haven't decided to use them.

the real reason they threw out the animatronics is because no one wants to be the night guard-

Looking at this now, I kind of saw mine evolve over time. I very vaguely remember some of our locations changing from the PTT to the Tux era and beyond. Ironically, I wondered even as a kid, why they were built into the ground ther than standing like they eventually would. Asking too many question that my 2 year old brain couldn't possibly comprehend is probably why I was terrified of Chuck as a toddler. I refused to go near him without my dad going with me. I got over it later but seeing fnaf when it originally came out partially reignited that old fear again.

This was an amazing video. I remember going to Showbiz Pizza Place when I was a kid in the 80's. Many good memories. Also, I didn't even know there was a place in WV that still had them running! I' in OH on the border of WV and now must go see that! Thank you for the wonderful video!

Can you do a part 2 that includes info on the abandoned Pokémon animatronics that were found in an abandoned theater. Keep up the great work!!!

Really awesome video man. Keep up the awesome work.

I loved Chuck E Cheese as a kid, so it made sense to have my little cousins birthday there in 2017. Unfortunately “The Band” was out of commission, so we didn’t get to see them perform, However, the Chuck E animatronic would occasionally open its eyes, fixate on something in the restaurant, stare for a few minutes, and then close its eyes again. Luckily my cousin (5yo) didn’t seem to care too much, but it was a far cry from what I remembered Chuck E being when I was a kid :(

I once stayed at a hotel directly across the street from guntown mountain, where theres apparently a set of rotting rock a fire explosion animatronics in the basement. My little child brain had no idea what I was so damn close to.

i have to say u did well on ur research man. perhaps ud like to know ive created and engineered my own animitronics because i missed the entire gang itself and actually was hopeing to open my own cac personally with a new twist for the true fans

there was an abandoned australian animatronic restruant also called pizza time theartre (or something close to that name) it had 2 signing koalas a kangaroo wallaby and i think a dingo. this place is so unknown that you didin't include it. edit: so its called pizza showtime and there was 2 singing koalas a kangaroo called dingo a wolf mascot that walks around a horse robot and a bear, and i think there was a dog that announces the songs before the band plays it.

Didnt expect such a cool video with you actually visiting them

From what i remember that leonardo costume was also aquired by someone and restored. I remember someone contacted the seller and took it upon them to fix it. I don’t remember who it was apart from having seen a previous video about it a while back.

Quick question, does anyone still have old chuck'e cheese animatronics in their location too?? Because some reason my chucke cheese hasn't touched or swapped them out ever since they built the place, also they have the old logo rotting on their building .

I have to be honest, I tend to find your narration jarring but mate this was an excellent video. So well researched and the effort to involve all of these other creators really shows. Just excellent work.

I didn't know about the portrait animatronics, that's interesting, sad that the remaining animatronics that are being destroyed, and corporate requires picture of the act... I hope others that still have them, keep them and don't destroy them

i enjoyed watching this video! very cool 😊

I remember first hearing about Chuck E Cheese getting rid of all their animatronics. With how popular animatronics have gotten in the past several years with FNAF I’m surprised they’d do this, it sounds like a pretty bad business idea to me 😕

I hope this isn’t what happens to the animatronics from the fnaf movie, they are so well made and the actors had a lot of fun with them. Maybe they will be sold, maybe they will get their own “life” like Norman did. I just hope they aren’t scrapped.

they’re murdering all the chuck’e’cheese animatronics 😭 😭 😭

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the cursed Hoggle animatronic (from the movie Labyrinth) that was lost and found in a suitcase. It was restored and is used as a mascot for a second hand store in Alabama (I think)

When I was a kid in the early 90’s the “Rocketfire explosion” was at the local Circus Circus (similar establishment to Chucky Cheese). They are some of my favorite childhood memories. 😊

I can't believe you actually got the shoes! They look pretty cool, take good care of them. I enjoyed the video. It's a shame the animatronics are being destroyed. I've never been to one of these animatronics show, I had went to a local Chuck E. Cheeses growing up but there's no animatronics, just arcade games. I am aware of these animatronics because of the internet. I wish the animatronics can be preserved in a museum for history, like one of the TMNT being in a museum. Funny enough FNAF got me interested in animatronics after a while. It might not be the same thing but I've seen a few robots being built, I live in Boston area. I'm aware of Boston Dynamics, I've wanted to visit there but I don't think guests/visitors are allowed. I've been interested in robots but building a functioning robot goes over my head. So I'm more into animation and learning to code. I got into robots from one of my favorite anime, Astro Boy.

I used to work for CEC back when I was a teen. I remember having to change into the Chuck E. walk-around costume in the space behind the stage. Did you know there was a height limit on the costume? It was almost always a girl in the costume because of the 5'8" limit!

22:07 this screams "KOWABANGA IT IS"

I actually worked at the Chuck E Cheese in Florida that got destroyed by the hurricane a year or two ago. It was one of the newer locations that still had animatronic Chuck and it was a really great model. Its sad that it got destroyed because of poor construction and while theyre rebuilding the location, you know it won't have an animatronic in it.

You already know it's a banger.

There is a Billy Bob’s Wonderland that still has the Rockefellers! I go all the time and it is still open!

11:28 was so sad like it looks like soon they are going to replace the rocket fire explosion with the newer animatronics and throw them away

Billy bob is seeking for revenge
