A Brief History of Animatronic Restaurants 

And she said he smoked....

Dang how is chucky cheeses a kids place?

Claudia Fritz Back then smoking was seen as normal. Nowadays, it’s bad.

Bro I legit had a birthday party there and no one showed up

@@dylanthegamerboi7902 Maybe he smoked to try and get rid of the stress of his sad backstory

@KaijuFan 202 Hatsune Miku is not from an anime...

@KaijuFan 202 hatsune miku is vocaloid not an anime

@Android's Let's plays close enough lol

KaijuFan 202 hatsuné miku is actually a vocaloid, which is essentially a humanoid character with no distinct personality and what’s known as a “voice box,” meant to be used for making music and singing songs from those who aren’t vocally talented or as confident as our blue-haired cutie. though her style resembles japanese anime, she’s not that at all :) i give you credit for trying though !

@KaijuFan 202 oh buddy, you don't know what yah just triggered lol

why did i got

I like the rockafire explotion, and the Chuck E. Cheese band

If you like the king go check out this channel called THE KING he’s a guy that has I think four king animatronics

check out THE KING’s channel, it’s so entertaining

WHAT ABOUT THE FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDDYS ANIMATRONICS

Omg lmao

r/whoosh me all you want but Scott said that he has no experience on handling restaurants so even if multiple people fund the project, Scott won't accept any money in creating a real Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria I'm still not sure about my comment though so someone please fact check.

@@theanimalsimulatorbyragnar4391 I'm afraid it's already happening !

@@user-xs4hn5bf2x Mr Cawthon said if anyone's willing to show him the ropes This could be a smash hit

@@fazbearandfriendsentertain1439 It's not LMFAOOOO. Scott himself said it. Horror game restaurant won't replace a whole ass pizza chain.

Disney is still using animatronics for their theme parks

@@noahmarshall2380 i was more talking about inexpensive trips like restaurants since i cant really afford to go to disney attractions often but i still enjoy those and am glad to see them!! i just wished they were more mainstream and available to see, its still understandable why theyre only seen at expensive attractions since they do cost a lot to operate

Maybe it's for the best, those things are creepy.

@@theguywhoasked1453 to each their own!

@@jr1zg7kt3g huh?

Scott made the game because a review for one of his older games stated that "The characters look like creepy robots". (I think). :/

@@Hello________________ You must be from mars because i don't remember a single person on this planet who asked

I don't remember writing that

@@plant5875 ok

I like how the 4th and 5th top comments have a stardust crusader as their pfp

Well while Five Nights at Freddys is nearly nothing but animatronics, Scott Cawthon never got the idea from any animatronic business whatsoever, he got the idea from an earlier game he had created, Chipper and Sons Lumber Co. where people stated that the characters movements were like animatronics. So yes the game is based around animatronics, but nothing in relations to other franchises that had animatronics. But yes I will say because of the games some people may see animatronics as scary and not amazing. A quick edit: This was not to argue against you or anything, just giving the backstory of Five Nights at Freddys. I still see animatronics as wonderful things too, but Chuck E Cheese and such wasn’t the inspiration for FNAF.

Agreed.

I really want more animatronic restaurants! It's so sad that no one really cares about them anymore

@@itspumpkin886 Actually Chuck E Cheese and Showbiz Pizza are also the inspiration for FNAF aside from the hater comment from Chip and Sons Lumber Co.

I REMEMBER TOUCHING CHUCKEES HAND, THE ANIMATRONIC ONE XD CANT BELIEVE I WAS ALLOWED TO DO THAT. I LOVEED WHEN THEY THREW THE TICKETS IN THE AIR AND YOU WOULD GRAB AS MANY AS YOU COULD JUST TO GET A PRIZE LOL.

It is an interesting concept. The idea that you'd want to zone out live artists for artists who build potentially mass produced, tireless entertainment machines. And we are in pursuit of that, still. Through video games and AI through them to create endless entertainment avenues, and obviously the artists who create such things. Until we create the creators and. AI to make games, then AI to play them. What place do humans have then?

Ever since I became a fnaf fan animatronics always have interest me Like the robotics and history of them

✌😔

I was scared of them BEFORE FNaF.

The idea of “possession” or “danger” is nothing new. It’s just because of the uncanny valley effect. Originally, there was secrecy in how the machines functioned.

I haven't been in a CEC restourant before or Showbiz but i can see how they're unique and extraordinary Someday i want to eat pizza while charles ent. Cheese is performing

I think their both and love them for it.

*squimpus mcgrimpus vibe increases*

Yes

FNAF sucks

@@NaturallyInspire ok we get it.

Which character did you argue with?

@@GalaxyDogenut Charles Entertainment Cheese himself.

Bizzaro Galore nice.

wait why was the concept phased out though?

Octo Sketches what concept?

Thats not to say fnaf has done the opposite for some people. For me fnaf is what made me MORE interested in animatronics

I'm sure steering people away form animatronics was not his intention. He just wanted to make a creepy game which features animatronics.

I don't really agree with you I wasn't that intrested in animatronics until I started learing about fnaf so I think it was that covid made the restaurants go bankrupt and they had to close down

Animatronics were already a dying breed. Their fade into history was inevitable. Scott Cawthon merely sped up the process.

Not really just chuck e cheess failed to modernize and died off. It just doesnt fit in with 21st century culture

Oh no

We all know how that's gonna end up

it already happened search it up but it was 5 kids

@@srdjandakulovic6052 Close enough..Was he wearing Purple or Yellow by chance?

William do be branching out from freddy fazzbear's tho

I'm still getting used to the cyberamics at my local Chuck E. Cheese's but I will never forget the Studio C/Star/Circles Of Light 32-movement bot at the Grand Rapids, Michigan location

Same, though given the fact I literally tried to steal Chuck E. Cheese as a child [and obviously failed] I didn't much care whether they freaked other people out.

I have a similar memory! The one and only time I went to a Chuck E Cheese I was around that same age and I was scared out of my mind. I remember a bunch of boys daring each other to touch one of the animatronic's feet, but I genuinely refused to even LOOK at that stage. I was terrified of Chuck E Cheese before it was cool!

I had this discussion with my friends but instead it went like this Friend 2: I'd see Randy (Me) getting a job as a walk around character at Chuck E. Cheese Friend 1: Bro you're 6'7" that'd be a terrifying Chuck E. Cheese. Me: I wouldn't even fit in the costume. Friend 2: They could probably get it custom made tbh. Friend 1: Bro if you get a job as a walk around character at Chuck E. Cheese, I should come over one day and we should do a wrestling match in the ball pit. Me: ... I legit wanna get a job at Chuck E. Cheese now, that'd be dope as hell.

@@duggy2728 Chuck e cheese doesn't have ball pits anymore

I’ll love to visit Peru one day ❤️

Im looking for information on the swamp themed, Pizza place and video game arcade that starred a friendly animatronic gator and his band of frogs etc.. It was in phoenix and or Scottsdale AZ..It was the paradise in which i beat dragons lair and Tron. I wish i knew the name and more about it. I'm hoping that animatronic fans will help me figure it out :)🐸 LOVE

omg cute microorganism narancia pfp

@@snubnosedmonke ty!!!!!

Chuck E. Cheese needs to stop complaining about business and what customers really want. Just bring back Crusty and then everyone comes to spend money hooray

@@Toaster003 "oh noooo our animatronic resteraunt is losing business! I know what will fix this! Removing the animatrionics!"

@@whistlepunkz lol yep. Here’s what they *should* do. Bring back Crusty and add Madam Munch as a new character. Why is a chef playing the drums?? He should play the saxophone and wear sunglasses. Crusty should play the drums and Helen should have a tambourine. Madam Munch can have a violin or something. Give Chuck E. his New Jersey accent and red and yellow clothes with the bow tie and bowler hat back. Stop trying to turn Helen into a gamer girl she should wear a dress or something like that again. Jasper and Mr. Munch are unchanged other than Jasper’s clothes being better looking. The stage itself would essentially be a wall with 7 windows, 4 on the top 3 on the bottom with each having a wooden looking background and the name of each character underneath it. Each backdrop could have some sort of word to represent the character. (Ex: Munch’s Make Believe Band sign, a neon sign reading Chuck E. Cheese for Mr. Munch and Chuck respectively.) All characters would have greatly advanced mobility, however all would be rid of anything below their waist. That is my proposal, apologies to anyone who read it.

Something about putting tokens into the arcade machines to play them was special

Thx for the like’s

I hope so

Omg i hope they bring back the animatronics and they're updated with more child friendly looking suits

@@Venom-rr1vg I'm hoping for a suit with springlocks~🎵

@@paprikadevil6405 just stop

@@funkifroggi1727 don't judge

Chuck E. Cheese ceos say that kids stopped looking at the animatronics years ago, but when the puppet shows on the huge TVs right next to the animatronics are given 11 times more effort than the animatronics where now they just move their mouths and eyes to the videos, then whose fault do you think it is that kids don’t look at them? IT’S YOURS, CHUCK E. CHEESE CEOS!! AND THEY START TAKING AWAY MOST OF THE ANIMATRONICS AT A LOT OF LOCATIONS WHERE THE TVS ARE EVEN BIGGER!!! #BringBackCrustyTheCatHeWasAlwaysTheBestCharacterNoOneCanProveMeWrong

my location used to only have him too but he didn't perform

Squimpus mcgrimpus?

Balloon Boy On RU-vid, yes something like that.

Oh god no that wouldn't be good

tbh that would be pretty much impossible considering the kind of force required to crush a human skull

That's what I wanna do when I get older (and enough money).

Everybody gangsta untill william strollin to fredbear's

Yall mentioning the bite of 83 and william but you forgot this implies springlock suits too

I was born in 1992 and am 27 now but I don't care. Animatronics are still way more fascinating to me than screens. -_-

True

Yes

yeah that's right

I loaf ur profile with the pride flag!

Wait how

Yaaassssss

My local CEC might still have those as well. It’s been ages since I’ve been, however.

In my chuck e cheeses restaurant, they got rid of ALL of the animatronics before COVID. Chuck e cheeses is empty and sad nowadays. The only entertainment we have there are games and the depressed actor in a big chuck e cheese suit. Last time I went, the actor was barely interacting with the kids and was almost...motionless.

Well, Chuck E. Cheese had a good run. Just like Toys R Us, it’s time to move on. But it still saddens me deeply

Yea the one that Cory X Kenshin reacted?

@@DevourLifteri don't no what youtuber are talking about????

Like ScrimpusMcGrimpus?

Plz don’t remove them😭😭😭

HELL NO FUCKING REMOVE THOSE BUCKETS OF BOLTS

Same i hope they don't remove the animatronics

Well... since I’m here, I guess it worked!

Congratulations

smh

Nope, fnaf isnt big enough to destroy restaurants like that and kids arent supposed to be playing fnaf

Just because they aren’t supposed to doesn’t mean they don’t. FNAF definitely isn’t as big as it was when it first released, but the amount of views on the big gaming channels shows that it’s influence is wide spread. I was only in Junior High when it came out, but kids in my class and on the High School campus would play it constantly, and in the elementary classroom I was a student worker for it wasn’t much better lol.

I mean, I found animatronics to be creepy way before FNaF came out, and I know a lot of others did as well, which is probably why FNaF worked so well as a horror game

Nora Yeah, same. I just don’t think it was something I thought about until it came out lol. There’s something that’s uncanny valley about them.

I understand that kids will still play it anyways, i just dont think fnaf could destroy restaurants like that.

Gues your teacher got inti a pizza party before you did
