Yeah, and because of that, it resulted in Earl and Billy Bob being removed completely, which also resulted in Dook being moved to Billy Bob's former spot, Mitzi being placed on Fatz's right, and Beach Bear being moved up to Fatz's left, however, on the Playhouse stage, the Sun remained, but the Moon was nowhere to be seen except on 3-Stages where the Moon is present.

Avenger Chuck E = Best Chuck E, and you can't change my mind. I just have so many memories of this version of Chuck E., HE was the one I wanted to go there and see. Also, out of all the other Chuck Es we've seen, he was the one who seemed most like a kid, and I think children could relate to that a lot more.

I think rockstar Chuck is the most kid friendly out of all of them, I grew up with avenger Chuck and he was terrifying. He was a giant, and he was intimidating. Rockstar chuck is smaller and looks less intimidating. Also all the costumes before avenger Chuck are all extremely terrifying, idk who thought that was a good idea, I’m shocked that kids actually liked 70s and 80s Chuck.

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Still remember how when I was a kid, I was very afraid but also very intrigued by the animatronics at Chuck E. Cheese’s. I was like 6, and at some kid’s birthday party. Normally whenever I’d go to Chuck E. Cheese’s with just my family, whenever the show was happening, I’d play in the arcade or something. I could better tolerate the show then because the arcade room was always separate from the stage and restaurant area. So I didn’t have to look at the animatronics so much. But when I was at this kid’s party, we were being served pizza at some tables right by the stage, and I wasn’t allowed to leave the room when the show began (plus I also wanted to try and overcome my own fear). I still couldn’t tolerate really looking at the animatronics. So I remember crawling under one of the tables that just so happened to have a pole right in front of it. If I sat right, the pole would cover Chuck E., who was definitely the scariest looking of the bunch. And that’s how I was able to even remotely sit through the show that day. Lol. Sitting underneath a table, behind a pole, trying to eat some pizza while probably also using one hand to cover my ears (the sound from the show was always too loud and painful for me) while probably also trying not to cry. Lol And now here I am, 20 years later and feeling a twinge of sadness knowing that the animatronics show has been totally taken out of the restaurants now.

[@Cecnorthernohio]

I always used to be afraid of the chuck e costume but i think i mightve liked the animatronic. The one i always went to only had chuck e and i never saw a full stage until 2013 but by then i had liled the animatronics

[@thomasmontgomery4597]

This is my expierence as well. !981 - 1982, as a teenager, I had to wear this terrible costum to animate the kids into putting more tokkens in the machines. The creepy robots drove them out of the stage area into the arcade during the show. The costums were kept in a little closet under the stage, where some poor guy would gag from the stench when putting on the sweat soaked thing. The "actor" was always a busboy, who between running around had to do the dishes. It was always a guy because the girls seemed to always passout from the heat and lack of air while wearing the costum. And yeah, every kid had to pull on the tail (and thier mothers on other thngs...), and no, you couldn't see a damned thing while wearing the head. But hey, I was young and needed the money.

[@thomasmontgomery4597]

Oh, I almost forgot, the costumes could not be washed, so the sweat was always eating the fur, so that they constantly had to be renewed. Since the store had to pay for this itself and the company was constantly changing the figure, it would seem to explain why so many figures are mixed and matched. Often, the store couldn't get replacements from the head company and had to commission a new head or vest locally, meaning that Chuck, sometimes lokked even creepier then usual.

I was too young to remmeber Showbiz Pizza, but I do remember seeing "Concept Unification" on KZbin several years ago and that creeped me out instead of making me sad. As for the overall evolution of Chuck E Cheese the mascot himself, I can pretty much say that he literally looks like he's aging in reverse besides going from human sized mascot to small CG Stuart Little style in the commercials. At least I'm glad I'm not a kid or one of today's kids because the Chuck E costumes falling apart would've been terrifying.

The five Thomas dummies and Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal #15 were updated from their model series appearance with a CGI Series-style face and animatronic features, allowing them to "talk". They also provided the face for Percy unit the same year. The company later manufactured models of Percy, Gordon, James, and Emily for Thomas Land and Thomas Town at Kennywood along with Thomas. These models feature animatronic faces and are used in both meet and greets and a series of live shows.

My favorite version is the Avenger vers. bc I just think hes cooler than the Rockstar one and just seems more "relatable" if that makes sense (like, RS chuck seem geared toward little kids more than teens and older i guess?)

[@freemanfilmsstudios1391]

20:33 the reason for the weird voice is because Scott Wilson didn’t want to fly out to the show’s location to do the voice so after this one show they were able to get Scott to come out he explains this himself in a 2011 video where fans are having a discussion about all things Chuck E Cheese with him. He also hilariously said Because Chuck E Cheese was the main character, it was his least favorite to voice 😂😂😂😂.

I will admit i love rockstar chuck he looks kid friendly

[@jkbruhbruh6358]

I’m glad I grew up with avenger chuck he’s my child hood but rock star chuck is ok I mean we won’t stay kids forever our time has ended just like 1990s chuck was replaced it’s the next generations turn but man is avenger chuck so nostalgic

[@somerandomguy9627]

the thing i love about chuck e. cheese is about how the lack of information in certain locations has its own mysterious and questionable photos which makes the chuck e cheese company much more unique and interesting (sorry my english is pretty bad)

[@ZakWolf]

Yep, the Chuck E. Cheese's that was in my hometown I went to as a kid in the late 1990s had the "Cool Chuck" logo on its' exterior, and the mascot costume was also in the "Cool Chuck" clothes, but the animatronic Chuck E. still had his tuxedo and derby hat (it was either a 2-stage or a Road Stage, but I remember they were DEFINITELY Cyberamic bots). Whoa, Sid and Marty Krofft were involved in developing Chuck E. and his friends?

[@papachillothezappey4050]

Actually it unknown if Sid and Marty Krofft had any involved with CECPTT.

[@NathanSpies]

They did have involvement, One of my Instagram followers contacted them and they said they did

[@papachillothezappey4050]

@@NathanSpies Them being involed doesn't make any sense due to the time line and based on what Harold Goldbrandsen said about not only making all the early costumes, but also all the early animatronics by himself.

[@NathanSpies]

@@papachillothezappey4050 I’m sure the Kroft brothers were at least consulted with during the production of the animatronics and costumes

[@papachillothezappey4050]

@@NathanSpies Travis Safer (Founder of Showbiz Pizza.com) had a correspondence with Harold Goldbrandsen (Who built the first costumes and all of the early animatronics) and not once did Harold said anything about the Krofft Brothers being involed.

I have the weirdest memory of being in a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant when I was much younger and there was an individual animatronic on a stage with purple spangly curtains. I can not for the life of me remember which character it was, I just remember they had it running without sound so it would just turn its head and blink its eyes like it was looking around.

[@JaxvrGTag123]

10:25 5 seconds after, is that a springlock type thing or something?

[@mrwhippy101]

Fuck off

[@smoom6947]

From the looks of it, South Portland Maines location has a Studio C stage and still the older logo (cool chuck). Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s what I’ve assumed by looking at the photos! :))

[@sonicsonic2022]

the costume that had the elephant snout was actully at arlington texas

The only notable thing the rockstar chuck puppet did was saying "Poggers" on a Twitch stream.

Nathan, you forgot to show us the merchandise of Chuck E. Cheese in the episode in the first season of the history of Series.

dude imagine Chuck singing the Phineas and Ferb song and collabed to sing for any song

The connection between CEC and Funimation actually goes deeper, as some of Funi's voice talent were in the CEC movie, most notably Chris Sabat (voice of Vegeta, Piccolo, Shenron, etc) was the voice of Munch in the movie. This also goes the other way around as Duncan Brannen did some voices for Dragonball Z (most notably, he voiced the evil Babidi) along with other Funimation Productions. Not to mention, both companies reside in Good ol' fashioned Texas as well.

How did you know that?

[@realSMC12]

13:32 i think that the costume was getting washed so they used the spare cosmetics from the animatronic chuck i know people can wear the head but i saw the eyes so they might have gotten a prototype costume from cec to test it so the robot and the mascot look identical or they were just repairing the animatronic so it was moved but that’s what i think.and it might have also been a prototype commercial chuck
