Now that the Buzzy kid animatronic was stolen, this video must be preserved at all costs.

[@supaplayer]

I thought the whole thing was stolen recently

[@keatonthekoopatroopa246]

Actually they had to put him away after his coat and hat were stolen but they were so lazy that cut the wires. Plus people kept getting there and Disney was afraid of people getting hurt.

[@bagofgroceries]

However, spares were made, thus he’s still complete

[@KRSStudios]

Library Of Congress where you at?

[@MrDude-sp6et]

Wasn't stolen. It was a miscommunication between security and maintenance

[@MrMrbrianbechtel]

Before destroying the rides they should do a 360 camera recording of the show running, and be able to show it to future generations

[@TylerMeacham]

used to work there - they definitely do this, just not necessarily in 360 and not necessarily to show to anyone publicly.

[@absayaya]

@@TylerMeacham ;-; its so sad that they are kept hidden away but at least they exist! Maybe, just maybe they will release them to the public some day

[@NumeroLetter]

It's kinda sad how Buzzy's still lit up with the sad little spotlight... just sitting there, waiting for the next audience that will never come... :( Poor little guy. Idk why but that spotlight just makes it infinitely sadder for me.

[@yeetusdeleetus650]

yeah if amintronics thought anything (its kinda creepy to think about) i think that Buzzy thought that there would be another show and keeps waiting wondering why no one is here and why no one ever came to check on him.

[@charlie1701]

It’s an animatronic... it’s not real...

[@ReverendSyn]

While Buzzy isn't a real PERSON, the fond memories he could have been part of are VERY real to those who have them. A person can be sentimental regarding an inanimate object. Perhaps they had to keep a light on so there would be SOME light to move about the room, and trained it on Buzzy out of affection.

[@SxyChicDisney]

Charlie obviously, but I think people are just really fond of the character

The do not destroy sign reads: "This item has been identified by The Walt Disney Archives as an item of historical significance to the Walt Disney Company. It should be submitted to the Walt Disney Archives prior to demolition. Should it's location change, please notify the archives staff." This is amazing news! It looks like demolition may actually happen to Cranium Command sadly, but Buzzy and some of the props WILL be safe!

[@ThatDreamfinderGuy]

They essentially mean that once work starts on the area, whether it be for a revamp or demolition, Buzzy and Hypothalamus will be taken to TWDA.

[@attiahfogle4236]

Rush Waggoner thank you! I was skimming the comments for this!

[@RushWaggonerwindyshadow32]

Tia Fogle no problem! It's good news for Buzzy and Hypothalamus character at least but I guess there isn't much more hope for the rest of the theater.

[@crazyhannahcreations9806]

Makes me wonder if they're getting set up for the 35th Epcot celebration thats coming really soon! Like no wonder Buzzy looks fixed right there. He has a fixed eyebrow and no lazy eye. Yet it's super creepy to see this with some lights on and have a big kingdom keepers vibe on me. Anyone read those books? XD Plus I wonder if they will go to the disney museum somewhere? they are pieces of history and wonderful imagineer work.

[@SPLATANA421]

This does actually quite make sense, because in the original ride, he says all right now where is the light I can turn on, and since Disney decided to close down the attraction, they decided to put a light on for him so he doesn’t get scared of the dark, but it looks like it’s decaying, but somebody has been looking after the animatronic most likely, Disney Imaginaires, or other people And it confuses me because when they stole the animatronic that is a 300 pound animatronic how would somebody be able to lift that and not fall into one of the holes beneath Buzzy and also it is really thin to walk on there so they must’ve had some assistance, but how would they get a cart onto there, but I am thinking that since somebody stole his clothes, it would be less heavy for them to take the animatronic down, but still confusing

8:11 That's a "loop closet". In the days before digital projection, they'd project stuff on screens (in this case the two "eyes" in the theater) from film. To keep the film from wearing out and scratching, instead of them running onto reels and off again they'd go up and down all those rollers in an endless loop. The film never touches itself. The "closet" has glass doors and an air filtering system to keep dust out.

[@TheLolturtle]

+Jake RK yeah but what's the purpose of having that specific light on?

General illumination for anyone who needs to pass through

[@TheAlbystudios]

To keep the animatronic from coming to life and terrorizing guest.

[@Mr424242424242424242]

I'd hazard a guess, based on the look of that control rack that's still on, that it's easier to leave that light on to have the other lights stay on with it than it is to find a programer to turn it off properly. Plus it keeps people from being surprised if they pass through during a maintenance inspection, a human like shape being silhouetted in the darkness of an abandoned attraction would scare the crud out of almost anyone. It looks like it still has an Allen Bradley PLC 5 running the show, and it's still powered up and working based on the indicator lights. As far as I am aware, there are only a handful of schools among those that train PLC programmers that teach anything about the PLC 5. Between that and the potential to have lost the master copy of the program, which would make changing anything a nightmare that most of the programmers I know wouldn't deal with for a single light, it's really not surprising that it's still on. And to answer the questions about where my information comes from, I spent a lot of time during my learning of PLCs with my hands on one of those, and I'd recognize that chassis anywhere. It's the top of the rightmost rack @7:07, the one with the green indicator lights and lots of grey plastic cards with labels.

What's the whole deal with the "DO NOT DESTROY" tags. Does it mean they'll repurpose the pieces for future use, or for preservation?

[@EM-ec4jo]

Preservation, likely; utilization in future attractions, possibly. A perfect example is an old RX-24 / REX model from the old Star Tours ride being in the new Star Tours queue. It's also possible that these things might also be auctioned. If they're not set to be scrapped for parts, well.. nostalgia sells.

Clay3613 all of those buildings have sponsors. Unlike movie studios, Disney World rides don’t actually produce money. In fact they cost money. Maintenance, employees, operating costs. It drains money from the parks and the price of admission cannot always make up the expense. Disney will often reach out to other other companies to sponsor the buildings so that they can maintain the rides and attractions.

[@ScorpionsFatality]

It would most likely break it. Since it's probably not gotten any work done on it in a long while. Plus outdated software. That's the problem with this stuff. Certain things become obsolete.

[@thesmallterror]

The automation equipment still appears to be installed and turned on no less (7:03). These are the computers that trigger all the animations and audio for the show. I'm really surprised they still have it powered on. I would expect the power for all these cabinets to be locked out. The mechanical systems themselves probably needed a lot of maintenance so those are probably all gummed up and won't work smoothly anymore. The big empty cabinets in the back (e.g. 8:10) were used to hold continuous loops of film for each of the projectors just in front of them. The film is completely removed, probably stored offsite in airtight cans to prevent it going bad. The projectors are certainly years behind on their maintenance and it appears they've all been opened up. Most likely the lamps have been removed as the lamps are somewhat volatile. So even if all the animations were still working, there would be no video. Source: I used to work with the exact industrial control systems Disney used to control animations in rides built around this time. I am also a projectionist.

[@TheInflicted]

Any idea what the enclosed glass booth seen at 8:09 is for?

[@ChristopherAdis]

TheInflicted I was wondering the same thing. I think there are two. Maybe to store the reel to reel film?

[@TheInflicted]

Possibly. There appears to be a large thermometer or barometer mounted on the back wall of it, but I can't make any sense of the rounded elements on the floor. Shock absorbers? I might think they were rollers but they're not pointed the right way.

[@TreadwellJay]

I'm curious myself. The spools seem to be the right width for 35mm film, but why it would need to loop all around like that I have no idea. Also at first I thought those two rooms were projection booths for the left and right eyes of Cranium Command, but they are at least 20 feet back from the set with nothing but girders and such in between, and are spaced too far apart. Was there a prior use of the theater before Cranium Command? It's the "newest" building in Future World (apart from Mission: Space), so I had thought CC would have been the first thing in the space. I'm thinking they were work spaces used to repair and clean ride films and weren't directly part of the operation of CC. The booths would clean the film in a climate-controlled and dust-free environment (note the gauge on the wall and the air hose coming out). The papers taped to the wall read "FILM LAYOUT" and I can make out "Making of Me" (obviously not shown in the CC theater) and "CRANIUM COMMAND: FREEDOM", which I assume is the preshow film, the screen for which, again, is quite far away. The papers seem to guide what the leaders of the reels should look like, and how to put them together at the right lengths if repairs are needed. During cleaning they might have needed to add additional leader to get through the booth, and thus they would need to make sure it was restored to its previous length before reinstalling, lest one of the screens be out of synch in the attraction. If so, it's neat that they had the gear set up right there, rather than having to cart the film off to some other area of the property to work on it. But the projectors (?) are labeled 5 and 6, and I doubt there would be need for that many cleaning rooms, so maybe the rollers are just for keeping the film going in a loop without having to rewind. But again, projecting to where? The empty space behind the CC stage? So baffling.

Insane how much is/was still intact there. I didn’t even know it went back that far.

Hopefully, the footage used in the attraction is still archived. It's still amazing how spotless this place is. Definitely not like anywhere else that had been shut for the past 10 years and over. And it looks as if it's going to re-open at any time.

One of the things I would have done is go into the theater completely alone with nothing but a flashlight, some headphones, and my phone. And watch the video of cranium command in the exact theater that was once filled with people and enjoyment now sits in complete silence. Idk it’s creepy and awesome to think about.
