Into animatronics? Check out this incredibly lifelike animatronic Abraham Lincoln by Garner Holt Productions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F1PI1FOYJoM.html

I bet most of these views are from FNAF fans

Looks like FNaF fans destroyed the comments. *Let's fix that with a controlled shock*

"Restoring old Showbiz Pizza animatronics" *William Afton liked that.*

0:12 I'm not gonna ask what he's doin

Scott Cawthon: **Chuckle** I’M IN DANGER

there’s like 7 games about how this is a bad idea

"... The animatronic characters here, do get a bit quirky at night..." Edit: Thanks for 1k likes

Absolutely terrifying as well as equally fascinating. Also the kid seems to really know his stuff and sounds very confident so props to him!

Make sure no souls get in

Imagine these walking around his house at night

This makes me so happy to see them being repaired and restored. I hope to see them fully restored one day

0:45 *cough cough* _Show biz bought Chuck E. Cheese’s, but used the character cast of Chuck E’s and rebranded their own show biz animatronics to the characters of Chuck E. Cheese’s_ *cough cough*

0:41 oh crap, endo's really be like that

Seeing the old animatronics makes me sad. I love when I see people repairing them. They're really peices of history and art and I love them.

How lovely that they are being restored by somebody. They are beloved characters so it's good they're getting a little respect.

I did really appreciate that Norm just focused on the mechanical questions and process and didn't go with the low hanging fruit of asking "how it feels to be so young and making". I like that they treated him with the same respect and level as any adult maker cause really age doesn't matter

these characters hold a special little place in my heart. fnaf might have introduced me to them, but i fell in love with their story. it's a shame chuck e cheese replaced them.

William Afton: *My Time has Come* Kids: *RUN*

100% jealous, I wish I was this smart to work with these amazing pieces of work.

Kudos to him for deciding to not upgrade the figures with gradual movement and compliance. The jerky motion might not be pretty, but it's part of their design.

Amazing work. If this kid continues, he could have a career in movie SFX.

0:17 he really do be vibing doe

The whole time I'm thinking "I wish I would have had rich parents who would have indulged my interests like this." I've been fascinated with these animatronics since I was a kid, but even as a grown man, I couldn't just go buy these as an "educational project" just for fun.

4:46 he be like WAS GOOOD!

Talking about fnaf 4:29

This is interesting actually (obligatory Five nights at Freddy's joke)

Animatronics are amazing! Great video showing the old school characters. I really enjoyed it. I created this board called the Robotochi Automation Breakout board for anyone who wants to start building animatronics like this. It's powered by arduino and specializes in servo-audio control!

Scott needs to make a fnaf pizzeria that would be just BOOTIFUL

He actually got it backwards. Showbiz bought Chuck E Cheese, but because of a licensing agreement with the animatronic character's inventor, they rebranded with Chuck E. Cheese characters.

Animatronics: *exists* Fnaf fans: *_fascinating...How they have become._*

So animatronic endoskeletons actually do like that. Also, these things being powered by player piano... it feels right for some reason. Probably because animatronics and player pianos both fall into the category of "robot does stuff blew people's minds a century or so ago". And of course the guy with the mic mentioned FNaF. Of freakin' course.

I'm actually not here becuase of fnaf, sure I like fnaf and all, but showbiz Rockafire is one of my favrotie things and that brought me here. Tho I still like fnaf aswell. But I'm not watching this because of fnaf, I love rockafire for what it is

Yo, I would love to see Tested and this kid make a custom animatronic character from this

He might be missing his face, but even he could see it coming.

As I do love fnaf and the theories, I’m actually here for show biz pizza because I’m a big fan of showbiz pizza.

Restoring one of those old beasts is a lot of work, Jack is to be congratulated. Jack might want to talk to the people at Gilderfluke & Co. I believe they did the controllers for the Chuck E Cheese characters, and they are still in the business of making animation controllers for characters. You probably don't like posted links, so just look up Gilderfluke on the web.

im impressed - good job kid, this is rad

Withered bonnie: "I'm the only animatronic without a face" Endo skeleton: *am I a joke to you?*

The fact that he's creating his own character is really cool. I want to make robots when I'm older.

amazing to see some old animatronics like those work again.

I hope to meet this kid some day. I love this kind of stuff, even though it creeps me out sometimes.

i'm so happy to know there are people who rescue them!! they're just too cool to let them rot :'(

“Uh, Hello Hello?” Words before disaster.

I expected shitty FNAF comments. I got comments complaining about the shitty FNAF comments that havent't actually come yet.

Holy sh*t, this kid know his stuff. He is going places :D

It's amazing how modern technology has made these animatronic's more accessible and modernized.

WELCOME BACK TO PARTS AND SERVICE

He should make the showbiz pizza again

Nobody: The comments: _THE MAN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTER._

Nobody: Absolutely No One: Prepare For The Animatronic Revolution

this is beautiful work! i love the rockafire crew, i wish they got more love :(

looks like bonnie wasn't the only amatronic who lost their face huh

Looking back Jack Turner has definitely managed to go far. He now has full sets, works with Aaron Fechter, has managed to make replica fur for the characters, and even sells some bots privately. He's even building a stage for his main full Rock Afire Explosion set and has some rare bots like Friendly Freddy, Fats (from Wolf Pack 5), Uncle Klunk, and 2 surviving Rock Afire Explosion prototype mechs being that of Looney Bird and Fatz.

They used to walk around during the day too!But then the bite of 87'.

Every comment complaining about Fnaf comments ARE the fnaf comments

I’m from the 80s. I remember Showbiz. It was the single GREATEST moments of our young lives

For anyone curious, this guy's got a channel called sptproductions, he's got almost an entire stage restored.

It's amazing to see somebody who I would always watch build there show and restore and make there dream come true❤

i hope you guys from tested will help him out and do it for free as a business decision. I would love to see his dream come true.

0:13 woahhh there

Imagine using a siri to move the mouth of mitzi. "Hey Mitzi, what's today's forecast?" "It will be cloudy with a 40% chance of rain."

Btw it is exetremely cool you get to have anamatronics from the 9100’s!!

It was Showbiz pizza who bought out Chuckie cheese, Not the other way around.

If I could do that I would make myself and send it to school

Can’t wait for the touchups it’s going to look awesome

Great video! You did an incredible job rebuilding it. My father operated the Bethel Road location in Columbus Ohio back in the 1980’s. I loved hanging out there, nothing to do but play video games all day.

Tested should do a couple videos helping this kid out designing a new character and maybe restoring the face or making a new copy of the face for his Billy Bob Bear.

I worked on these characters in the mid 80s as a technician for showbiz. The shows were on 9 track tapes. We didn’t use player piano boards - they were custom built. It looks like the same solenoid bank that was on the real show. The primary problem was rebuilding the cylinders to take care of air leaks.

*william afton watches* William afton: I’m going to make a pizzeria with animatronics like these.

Honestly I think it’s so cool that there are people out there taking their own free time and resources to restore these animatronics! I’ve always been into robotics so videos like this are super cool and fascinating for me while also being kind of creepy.

tip. base a game of of something irl (fnaf = chuck e cheese) and the fans would come into chuck e cheese to see real animatronics and that = $$$$$$$$$

00:56 the fear....

No one is gonna talk about this guy and his potential?

WAIT FNAF ISSS REEAAALLL IMA DIE OF HAPPINESS NOW

Jumpscare times 0:56 2:22...... Ok I'll stop I just had to

So glad I finally desensitized myself from animatronics - this is really cool!

Its neat that people do this. Its a piece of entertainment history. I mean I always liked Chuck E. Cheese, Country Bears, realistic animal robots from flat rides, and cartoon based ones. It's kinda sad that they're all going away. I understand that companies can't afford to maintain them forever but still.

I came here not just because I'm a fnaf fan but I'm legitimately interested in how these things work. I want to build my own robot one day.

came for the FNAF comments. Stayed for the awesome science. Nice Job!

You're the birthday, you're the birthday, you're the birthday boy or girl.

Scott secretly went to the pizza place as a kid and and got inspiration from this.

“Chuck E. Cheese actually bought Showbiz Pizza out and they rebranded” actually.. it’s the reverse.

Aaron Fechter would be proud.

When i got the enough age and cash i will make a animatronic restaurant with my best friends!

Amazing I loved that place as a kid

Ngl kinda getting a “Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay? Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced." Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay. So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know? Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh. Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night.” kinda vibe from this

Holy hell, I can't believe how far those animatronics from Funtown Mountain have come. In an urban explorer's video, you get a glimpse of the band, showing that time had truly been unkind and left these robots battered and decayed.

Take a drink anytime Jack says 'um' Kudos to Jack btw, that young and rebuilding animatronics to be fully operational. Fuckin brilliant kid!

I'm 15 and I'm genuinely crushing on this guy rn. He's adorable and a genius. How much better can you get. Man I just wanna....talk about robotics with him all night long...

This was the first rockafire videos I’ve ever watched I think. Still one of my favourite videos

Wait a minute IS THAT SHOWBIZPIZZAFAN? HE HAS THE EXACT MITZI AND BILLYBOb ITS GOTTA BE HIM ITS GOTTA!

0:12 I wonder what they were making

Man I wish there was a horror game series about killer animatronics that are haunted by dead children killed by the designer of the robots. That would be sooooo cool!

the fact that the reporter actually mentioned FNaF legit filled me with joy. glad to see there are other men of culture out there.
