Bringing Up the Newly Designed Billybob Character- 1981

After months of work, the art department headed by my mom, Essie Fechter, and featuring the talent of many artists, led by the hilarious and good natured Dave Thomas, the newly designed Billy Bob was ready to bring upstairs to the show room. We were all very excited about this and couldn't wait to see it perform for the first time, see what falls apart and what holds together and how good or bad it looks actually working. This work/party spirit was typical for a young Creative Engineering.

Wonderful!! It's so amazing to see CEI back in its heyday. Thanks for sharing, Aaron!

[@theminion3257]

Yay I watch you

[@rxvsell2498]

It's so amazing how Aaron's bot's are 39 Years Old and can still play and make us happy, I hope he still stays in buissness and his show will be the ebst!

[@mickeymouse-eb2qv]

He is still in business but he is currently relocating. The old building is most likely going to be destroyed when you conceder the construction in his area

[@taminoll]

the timing on these animatronics are AMAZING. I can't get over how spot on they are with the music.

[@connorleschinsky]

Whoa! That's really awesome that you were able to capture that moment!

That How Billy Bob First Performance in 1981 Showbiz Pizza Place

[@crazyminecraftgamer1306]

@@exqq4565not at showbiz lol this was filmed in creative engineering

[@Balootoyoutoo]

It’s totally apparent how genuinely happy everyone is working there. CEI was a true all round success story, inspiring and entertaining the public, staff loving their job - such a shame the funds were cut. No matter what people think, Aaron Fechter will go down in history as one of the most unique entertainment innovator and inventors of all time

[@unoclay]

I greatly appreciate when people take the time to upload pre-digital era film. That alone makes it worth watching.

[@DoctorArcade]

Oh wow, you were a wild and crazy bunch even back then. So incredible! I love it. It's such a nostalgic look at a time I was barely old enough to remember. And it's great seeing the installation of Billy Bob mk II then seeing him in action along side the rest of the Rock-aFire Explosion. If any other videos like this exist, keep em' coming! They're great!

[@40GamesAG]

Awesome! I'm so happy you recorded this historic moment!

[@myzteziz1062]

Now this is the kind of history I like to watch. Makes me miss the 80's more and more. lol

[@devanshouse5027]

Fascinating to see how well the CEI animatronics worked when they were brand new!

[@starrfisher]

it gets me that after so many years the tounge stopped doing that flippy thing. I thought that was cool

[@DUHREALCOOLCHUCKECHEESE]

It dose it's just not noticeable

[@unluckysaurus2446]

I didn't know Heartache was so old! They're so much more... well, they move way less smoother. I've never even seen those Looney Bird, Fats, or Beach Bear generations.

[@4k_chase576]

Unluckysaurus it was the first ever show

[@HITCHICARUS]

Aaron's hilarious in the beginning! XD

[@rxvsell2498]

Look at how fast they went in 81’, compared to day! They went so smooth and fast. Today they go Medium and Dook’s eyes look drooped, and Fatz fur looks old!

[@1x3x23]

air preasure was higher

[@aoobigail6406]

I smiled though this whole thing

[@rachelreeb695]

Aaron was handsome I couldn't keep myself from saying it. A brilliant mind at work

[@therockafire]

Thank you! Where were you in 1981? LOL

[@rachelreeb695]

@therockafire LOL well I am in my 30s now, and I very much love and appreciate all the hard work that was put into all of these projects. I am beyond fascinated 😁

[@JDMilitaria]

Hahah that Camera work though! Nice video! would have loved to have been there! Also bilybobs movements look like he really is playing the Guitar!

[@ReminaProd]

I know this is sorta off-topic, but its really cool to see the country bear jubilee as well back in creative engineering!

[@mechaitheracer2563]

that show is going to Brazil back in 1981

[@SRCVintageElectronics]

Wow, love this video

[@mickeymouse-eb2qv]

I wish there was like a tape showing how to install them. It would be for new locations.

[@JesseH76]

The beautiful woman Dancing has to be Aaron's old flame. It has to be, because his new flame is hot, too. The guy around 14:22 is Dook, right? He's a very talented singer, really.

[@CECWashingtonTheCECFan]

Yep!

Hey Aaron quick question the hard luck bears around the beginning of the video are those from the knoebels show or a different show because I recently went to knoebels and saw Pete and Repeat on display and it looks like the ones from the knoebels show idk if it's the ones or not.

[@mechaitheracer2563]

No it’s the playCenter show because the knoebels show was installed in 1980 and the playCenter show was installed in 1981

It is. This is Billy Bob's "prototype" mask I guess you could say. Here he has a more laid back and tired expression.
