The Jingle Bell Jamboree * Santa's Village Show 1979 * Creative Engineering Inc. 

For a animatronic show in the 70's..this is pretty impressive 👌

This show is very impressive to be your first full show. The movements and programming are very fluid.

Absolutely adore this show! The Santa's Village Show has always been one of my CEI Favorites! It's amazing to see the ORIGINAL bots in better quality!

Old show? Yes. Has a theme? Yes! All together great? Totally! Added to my list of animatronic bands to revive into a game? 100 percent definitely!

Thanks so much Aaron I really appreciate you posting this! I love this show so much and it was apart of my parents and my childhood! I got so many photos and even some pieces of show! I can not tell you how happy I am to see some new high quality footage of them in their own prime! This is Fantastic!

Whoa! I'm impressed! Santa looks REALLY realistic! The eyes and mouth movement are amazing! I like Rudolph, too... the elves are a little stiff, but not bad! Overall, an awesome show! So nice to be able to see the old stuff hidin g out in your warehouse all these decades! If you ever need help converting stuff to digital format, I'd love to get involved! This is the kinda stuff you became famous for! I was only 11 years old at this point! Animatronics is your moment in the spotlight, for which you will always be remembered. Few people get that privilege, to be remembered and celebrated for something that is still remembered and appreciated decades later...

It’s crazy that this show had been the same since 79!! It held up, through my childhood in Jefferson NH it remained all the same. It was my favorite part of the park :) I didn’t know until now that this was Aarons doing!! Brings back so many memories

Yo the gas joke still holds up

This was a show I'd watch during my weekend trip to Jefferaon NH that I'd do every August from 2014 to 2018, I saw this show twice because sadly at the end of the 2016 Season, Santa's Village said they needed another live show and that it was just time to give it up. This was made in the 70s as well so it was becoming outdated, this was made around Elvis's death so it people of the 2010s were quite confused hearing and seeing Elvis on stage. It was still fun to watch though and I really miss it, happy it ran there for 39 years (longer than the Country Bears at Disneyland).

WHERE DID THE ELVIS ELF COME FROM LOL 🤣🤣🤣

I was a animatronics and control engineer at a theme park a few years ago. It’s cool to see the older stuff and how they did it back then. Always wanted to get back into it. Maybe someday I will move back.

Hello Mr Aaron I am your French fan you know for the Rolfe and Beach Bear stuffed animals I still have them everywhere I go they come with me. I wanted to tell you that when I was little I was passionate about Five nights at Freddy but over time I'm no longer passionate but when I discovered your videos during total confinement I could awaken this passion that slumbers in I thank you for everything you do for a child the importance is that it is not that they are robots but it is above all what they can become in the eyes of children 😉 Thanks you Mr Aaron 😊

Absolutely love seeing all the old footage. Love sharing all CEI projects with my son. Wishing that he could have been able to experience Showbiz. I miss it so much!

I'm only 16 but I'm a huge fan of aaron fechter and the rock afire explosion and this is amazing

These animatronics are incredible! Great footage.

I remember seeing this in the early 2000s, sad that it's gone now. Recently realized it was made by you guys when it clicked that the staging looked familiar

love santa's village show 1979 sue

Great piece of history, so glad it survived. This was really sophisticated for the time.

Really great audio and great movements on these characters

This is awesome! It's always great to have some more footage of these more obscure shows.

this is so cool not only we got new footage of the cei bots of Santa's Village Show but also clear audio of the show

Love the archive footage. Please keep it coming

I go to Santa's Village every year and I remember seeing it in its finial years this show was amazing and now seeing this video that you made it makes it even cooler because I and a big fan. where is this filmed?

I love this. These animatronics look way better then the new ones.

"Elfis" 🤣 so cleaver! Love this, thank you for sharing 😍

Thank you for making this holiday season a little more magical

This is nice! I've been to Santa's Village once (but never got to see this)

YESS, THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS

Dang this great that we finally get this footage

This is simply awesome!

Wow thank you I would have never seen this!

I love the movement's of the Santa Animatronic! it looks fluid!

This is so cool! Thanks Aaron

This is amazing!

Cool to know that this was reused for Christmas show at ShowBiz 🤩 6:26

Loved this! 👏

Man I’ve been wondering where ya been I was worried lol

Finally, Aaron uploads.

The Audio quality is great! I'm gonna have fun restoring this footage!

i think i like the santa animatronic the most.

man this looks so cool

Hey you wouldn't happen to have video of the hard luck bears. There is some footage but it has alot of the show missing also thanks for posting

Ok no joke I was about to go there in about a week or 2. Never knew CEI had a show there. Super cool!

I love this show

Hi i love the video

1979 the day that the 2nd pizza time theatre birthday skit

Been there soooo many times...

yay new video of santa animatronic

This is so iconic

Interesting

Amazing!

Wait there was full cast for the Christmas shows ? I’ve only ever seen the Santa animatronic

also ur work is amazing

Really cool to see stuff from so long ago! One question, how did you manage to get Elfis to suddenly appear on stage? Did he get raised and lowered from the floor?

I bet the elves are at the bigger location of creative engineering, technically you could re skin the country bear jubilee and probably use a klunk santa.

Yesssss

Holy Heck! Cool!

How does Elfis appear on stage? I’ve never seen this show before, so I’m confused 😂

I wish there were pictures of the mechs of these

Who did the voice of them?

Yoooo bro first dude

I heard this was the very first audio animatronic show outside of Disney

Random comment to keep the sub

I live in Massachusetts and I have to say that I’ve been to Santa’s Village in Jefferson NH and I wish someone could tell me what happened to the original CEI JingleBell Jamboree animatronics somebody said that they’re in storage with most of their heads were missing but I don’t which one they are either the CEI animatronics or the Advanced Animations animatronics?

Any updates on Aaron. ? He’s been afk for a while now , he seems to be stuck in the 80s

I'm guessing your best friend is the inspiration for Billy Bob the bear? That's so cool!

Your Elf look liked from your Image of The Animatronics Experimenters Kit....

Do you think that there’s a mechanism for Elfis to rise up when the curtains are closed?

Can you upload the hard luck bears

animatronic legal cara

Omg

Hi Aaron how are you nice vid

Will you ever release sheet music for shows like this? It would be amazing to play Elfin John's piano sequence!

If only the country bear jamboree should’ve made their Christmas show in the late 70s instead of ‘84

Yay

next month is my birthday!!!

👍

Will you ever make a video of the bear country jubilee?

Was it Burt Wilson who voiced Santa on this show?

wow, this is amazing~!

Hey Aaron I have a question about the animatronic that looks like Helen henny that I can get from you!

Hello Aaron

9:59 Santa: And…. Alfest: Oh Santa! Santa: yes Elphis him: can I lay down some vibes🤑: Santa: WHATTTT😡

Alright! This just happened!

The deer animatronic seems to have the same mech as the Wolfman, were they the same mechanical?

Hey Aaron do you have footage of country bear jubilee

Do you know how tall the elves were?

Aaron have you seen billy Bob's wonderland?

My question is now the Elvis Elf appeared Infront of the trumpet Elf

Hola

how about pulling out all the old animatronics and recreating the shows?

Will you ever make new WP5 Shows ?

Bro when santa was talking about the elves why does it sound like the country bear jamboree when they were introducing the bears aka the five bear rugs

Is there a full footage of early hard luck bears

Hey do you know how I can get my hands on a billy bob mask for an animatronic

Can you show me recoverd footage of the bear country jubilee please.

Where are they now? Can u make more videos about them?
