Chuck E. Cheese: knows that they’re known for the animatronics Also Chuck E. Cheese: discontinues animatronics

[@Masterge77]

The irony about Chuck E. Cheese retiring it's animatronics is that it happened right when Five Nights at Freddy's was at the height of it's popularity. You'd actually think that would encourage them to keep or update the animatronics and in turn bring more business.

[@zeusdoesstuff]

I mean it sucks, but i get it. Post 2020 CEC is probably struggling finacially. Animatronics are pricey to mantain, and FNAF has made them a bit more scary to kids. It makes sense, but it sucks. Hopefully they let Individual resturaunt owners keep the stages as they are.

[@sangu1vore]

@@zeusdoesstuffi would actually argue that fnaf has made kids like animatronics more! at least it definitely did that to me when it first came out, its why i like animatronics so much in the first place

[@djriqky9581]

​@@zeusdoesstufffnaf made children crazy over Chuck e cheese and animatronics. The amount of kids going to high school with fnaf Merch or talking about fnaf lore and characters was insane. Idk why they got rid of the animatronics when hardware and software is significantly better and they could produce animatronics for adults and children because fnaf expanded and reached mew audiences

[@RhythmShorts]

I actually like the rotating stage that hides the animatronic so the mascot can come out, its far more creative and convincing than just curtians, cause I can't tell you how many times me and my friends/other kids would crawl onto Chucky's stage and peak behind his curtian while the mascot was out. Broke the illusion for all of us. But to give credit where its due, the employees made up a good story about how the mascot was actually Chucky's brother or cousin and he comes out to play with the kids so Chucky can sleep between shows

[@TheTNTMuffin]

The rotating stage is a really cool idea, too bad they didn’t do that with the other stages too

[@jaborsey_joseph]

[@ChiuauauaUniverse]

[@Sakachi18]

I still, to this day, cannot believe we lost our good cat boy for a freaking pizza eating alien from the planet pizza. Such a mistake.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Mr Munch is awesome though

[@Sakachi18]

@TheTNTMuffin Mr Munch is fine, I don't hate him. But he has definitely had the least characterization of the gang, and was only created on a whim seemingly since someone in charge at the time wanted a monster character. For the longest time, all he ever did was eat pizza and talk about eating pizza, and I just wish I had gotten to see Crusty in person. His character was such an honest guy who really tried his best and took way too much crap that he didn't deserve from Chuck himself. And it was just funny to have a rat bossing a cat around and paying his paycheck.

[@probablyjustsnails]

@@Sakachi18 I miss all the original personalities tbh- I mean they’re def not the most kid friendly when you think about it but og Chuck is hilarious to me

[@Sakachi18]

@probablyjustsnails Same. OG Charles was something special. But yeah, not kid approved nowadays. Though, that probably was the point back then, to give the adults something they would find funny too.

[@WhoDidWhat17]

The Balcony Stage actually made it's debut in October 1980 at the Arlington, Texas Pizza Time Theatre (closed in March 2024.). There was a prototype installed at the Kooser Rd location in San Jose, California earlier in 1980 (a Pizza Times article from May 1980 references the new staging and a new showtape (which is currently lost media) as the Showboat.)

[@TheTNTMuffin]

[@aspenjohnston3]

I worked at a studio C beta location. I left that job in March of this year and since then it’s been remodeled to the cec live stage which makes me so sad. From what I’ve heard while I was working there, corporate wants to make all locations into cec live ones in the next few years. It’s awful to see all these animatronics go

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Luckily the Northridge location in California is keeping their stage, but as far as we know rn, that’s the only one

[@theriddled214]

Studio C Alpha was the one I grew up with. I remember being disappointed that only Chuck E himself was there and not every character. It's so saddening that these animatronics and arguably even the worst ones, are just being seen as something worthless to the company. It doesn't matter if Northridge California will keep one stage, everyone feels nostalgia and fascination, and looking at Minecraft, Fnaf, and new mario games, nostalgia sells

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Yeah I don’t understand why they don’t care. Everyone would love if they’d keep them

[@omnipotentowlproductions]

Same, I grew up with the singular chuck

[@3zra._.]

I mean to be fair they are going bankrupt and animatronics are pricey to maintain in working condition

[@harwickbranch]

FNAF has always equaled nostalgia for Chuck E Cheese, it made no sense for them to remove the animatronics as they re-entered public consciousness lol

[@robertweitz6376]

We have saved a 2 stage a 3 stage a 32m chuck all we need to save now is the 1 stage

[@user-sp8jf7iz4n]

I am so glad you mentioned the tunnel under the stage. I watched several other videos talking about chuck e cheese and nobody mentioned it. I remember crawling through the tunnel as a kid, it went from the dinning area to the game room. The kids could crawl from one room to another.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Woah really? That sounds cool

[@loodgack]

yknow, it's nice to see some FNAF fans actually becoming the fans of CEC and real animatronic pizzerias, and making videos about them (basically telling their history) I became interested in the animatronics, and their stories, especially after I kinda left the FNAF community. since the restaurants are gone, and also the fact that the nearest still open CEC is a half world away, I'll never be able to visit any of them, and I can only see them on videos. my country has nothing like this. so yeah, I enjoy watching these videos, good work, and interesting, how these places evolved and then..slowly stopped featuring the mascots themselves.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

I hope you can visit one someday, it seems like the Northridge location in California will be keeping their animatronics forever

[@Sirdogesalot]

[@jeremyzapsmash]

I'm surprised that the circle of light stage is still around with how sensitive to seizure prevention there is now.

[@ShockwaveFurbyOfficial]

I knew about all of the stage types (and the awesome adventure machine which was actually made to tie in with the Chuck E. Cheese movie “Chuck E Cheese in The Galaxy 5000”!) but some of these variations I’ve never heard of before like the Galaxy stage is soooooo cool!!!

I wish I could go back a live my childhood for one day at Chuck E Cheese. I had so many fond memories and it’s sad to see all the animatronics just gone and replaced with boring dance floors and underwhelming pictures of the characters on the walls.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

I agree, the old days were so much better!

[@danielramsey6141]

I like how The Five Nights at Freddy’s games sorta revived interest in these Animatronic characters related to old Pizza Chains. I’m surprised Chuck’ E Chesse is still around where I live, both in Fairfield Suisun. And Stockton California. We still have these Chuck’ E. Cheese Places. But yeah, it’s crazy how this franchise is still going. Grew up with some of these myself.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Thank you! Oh dang what were the Studio C’s and cabarets I missed? Also I’ve never heard of that family album, I’ll have to check it out.

[@NoodleNuggz]

@@TheTNTMuffin Ok so there was a cabaret act called 4 little shavers which may have been in an ice cream parlor in pizza time theaters . The 4 characters were all named after CEC founder Nolan bushnell. The studio Cs are kinda random such as a Saudi Arabian CEC with an alpha with 2 blue screens and tvs on each side of Chuck . There was a studio c alpha that was on a 3 stage but was actually set up like an alpha and not the studio 3.5 setup it closed in 2019-20 . Some betas have unique things to them such as a ticket blaster background rather than the blue screen etc . These are the only ones I could think of off the top of my head but hopefully I can help inform you !

[@TheTNTMuffin]

@@NoodleNuggz oh those are all pretty interesting. I’m surprised I never heard of the 4 little shavers! Also I looked up the family album thing and it is terrifying…

Showbiz Pizza & Rock-a-Fire was the ultimate culmination of animatronics, food, fun, and nightmare fuel that kept us coming back for more! ...my kids got to experience the Chuck-e-cheese watered-down versions over the years, finally succumbing to the removal of ALL robotics and now it's just not somewhere anyone wants to go anymore sadly. Five nights at freddy's definitely captured our fears & love on behest of the reality we got to experience, but it truly saddens me that my kids will never get to experience the REAL thing!....ironically, one of the 'trends' of today is that people are trying to recreate the experience of being a '90's kid'...buying all the old analog gear that is now readily available on a cell phone...i truly get it..

[@hezahaubeza]

I just watched Friday Nights at Freddy’s movie and found myself going down the Chuck E. Cheese rabbit hole. I was the Munch’s Make Believe Band generation in the early 90s and I remember thinking the animatronics were creepy and unsettling, yet I couldn’t look away. It was like driving by a car accident…you just gotta look.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

I love Munch’s Make Believe Band, the animatronics are so cool

[@Lorekeeper49]

I believe that at some point, the animatronics started losing popularity because they were a lot of the same thing, I do hope that if they attempt to make them again, they will be a lot more advanced and a lot more unique than before

[@Queen_of_chaos]

After I watched the FNAF a few weeks ago. I was hooked on the different eras of both showbiz pizza vs Chuck e Cheeze and the far past and future lore of FNAF and it was insane😂❤ Great video dude! Imma sub cause you seem informative and chill! :D

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video and welcome to the channel!

[@jeremyzapsmash]

I remember them having a speaker with episodes of their show on the screens. Then they'd announce free tickets. I remember the mascot walking around, making the kids do a dumb song and dance, then throwing tickets at them. That was before they only have card.

[@NoodleNuggz]

They still did that until Covid made them get rid of tickets

[@Iloverockcandy]

I will never understand why the corporate decided to get rid of the animatronics, the animatronics that SOLEY made them iconic.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Because corporate is evil

[@FruitcakeDog77]

Great video! If I had to give my favorite era It would be the Portrait stage/set up. Idk why but I really like how the animatronics look even with the basic movement, and I really like enjoy the slightly more adult themes.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Thank you! Yeah those are super cool. My favorite is probably the rocker stage since the set is really sick

[@christopherbennett6016]

You mentioned at the beginning that the first stage design ended in 91 although after seeing those here I swear that just revived a deep deep long forgotten memory of seeing what I believe was one of those window anamatronics of Pasquali that I think was high up in the center of the wall. I remember it creeping me put a little bit. Like the idea of this anamatronic just sitting up there in darkness when its not out. I was born in 95 so it would have been sometime after that. Although I do have a much clearer memory of seeing Pasquali on the drums. This was at Altoona PA. I have home movies at CEC, may have to check them out.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Oh interesting, I’m not 100% sure on the dates, so that could be possible

[@richardkirkland6805]

With Chuck E. cheese's getting rid of the animatronics, they're probably going to go out of business. It's expensive to maintain the animatronics, but without them it's just an overpriced restaurant with lackluster food. Unless there's an arcade, then it's an overpriced arcade with mediocre food.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

The main issue is now it’s basically ONLY for kids. No adult wants to go to a modern Chuck E. Cheese, because the only cool part is gone

[@ThomasAnimated]

Goodness, literally my favorite one as a kid. It's so beautiful and the animatronics look fantastic. 6:40

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Those are the animatronics I grew up with as well. Their designs are great

[@coolawesomeepicman4513]

I know fnaf kinda revived this, but I have always been interested in how these things actually work. There must be teams of dudes writing codes to make these animatronics animate on a stage, and if you really think about it, this is the final stage of those basic robotics classes we all had the chance to take in middle school or high school with the little Lego midstorm robots. It’s amazing to think people were out there making robots perform

[@KonekoTsukino]

It might further blow your mind to know that they learned their routines via tapes. It's still how the remaining ones learn, too!

[@TwistedBonnieStewart]

I like the new and old animatronics🙂 but the old ones are creepy😨 But the old Pasqually is funny because its look😂

I had the galaxy stage. I used to go to Chuck E. Cheese every time my uncle visited (he used to live in another state and would rarely come by) when I was at least younger than nine years old. I had so many good memories at that locations and was devastated when I learned it was replaced with just.. A dance floor. I’ll never forget the memory of me and my sister standing in front of Chuck, waiting for the next show to start while my uncle teased, “hey, he looked at me because I know him personally.” Sweet days I can never get back nor will get to recreate.

[@user-qo7or3fo1i]

Actually, a location in Northridge, CA still has their 2-Stage after a 2.0 Remodel having half 2.0 and half retro, giving this location a name 'Retro Store'. Nolan Bushnell, founder of ATARI and Chuck E. Cheese was there on the day of the Grand Re-opening. Nolan said he was glad there was one left and that it also not in a museum. The Franchise owner said the stage is there to stay.

[@patriciawielk9931]

I also remember at some point there was a Studio C Alpha to the right on the 3 stage platform with the munch band, probably in-between transitions. Ive also seen the Studio C Beta with the big screen&camera but my favorite was always the Studio C Alpha where he talked with the parrot and the telephone rang.

On the 3 stage, i remember the munch band would do their skit, the curtain would close, and then chuckys curtain would open and he would do his skit, and i was always confused as to why chucky never interacted with the other animatronics and now thanks to your video, it all makes sense lol

[@dawnsunrise754]

We don’t have any animatronic restaurants in my country so I’m just watching this cause it’s such a weird concept to me, but what’s even weirder is that they’re removing animatronics from the restaurants at a time when stuff like FNAF could cause a resurgence in interest toward animatronics. ESPECIALLY in light of the movie. Honestly I think if they even went ahead into talks with Scott Cawthon/Steelwool/whoever has the rights these days, and opened a real Freddy Fazbear’s pizza, I think they’d make a killing. Hopefully not literally though.

I grew up with the original Chucky Studio C stage, and I never realized how sad it is that only Chucky is actually there. I mean...he interacted with other characters via 2 screens, but still. The disco ball and ticket blaster were fun tho NGL.

[@NoodleNuggz]

It was actually 1 screen ( he never looked at the Apple TV or any others in the showroom)

[@luigihorror6455]

I find dumb how they're getting rid of the animatronic even after the success of fnaf and how animatronics becoming popular again because of it, they still have the audacity to get rid of them, and this makes me sad as a person who mostly grew up with the Studio C stage

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Yeah animatronics are more popular than ever, I don’t get it!

[@LilTenzy_animations]

I grew up with studio c alpha 😭😭😭😭

[@TheTNTMuffin]

That’s an awesome stage

[@cristoferchanimak]

Btw the 3 stage prototype had multiple different munch animatronics. The building, the junior, the moon, so he could “move” back and forth between different parts (but looking different each time)

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Oh that sounds pretty cool

[@risheramonae7225]

I went to chuckee cheese yesterday with my niece was soooooo disappointed I haven’t been there in years and when I stepped foot in it was like my child hood was RIPPED AWAY .. never existed the kids today will never experience what us 90 baby’s did with chuckee cheese PURE FUN ‼️‼️

[@orange_turtle3412]

They should add a new animatronic with the new design. The post-refresh CEC doesnt feel like CEC anymore. The animatronics were the place’s defining feature. Now its just a normal arcade.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Man I would love that so much. They really should make new animatronics eventually

[@WackyWobbler111]

​@@TheTNTMuffinonly if the FNaF Fandom wasn't dog water to chuck-e-cheese none of this would've happened, Despite the real reason the animatronics are gone is "no one looked at them " which is highly false.

[@jlassh]

2:13 my chuck e cheese had these, I was little maze crawl tunnels you could go under the stage and play in, I remember kids kept messing themselves/getting lost and crying in it so when new owners took over in the last years of my chuck e cheese in Normal, IL, they closed them up... also mine huge ball pitt (like a discovery zone before those existed) had like racketball courts with scooters you could use (and hurt yourself crashing into someone) , it was huge, I feel like they added a lot of custom things to mine I never saw at chuck e cheeses from other videos

[@TheTNTMuffin]

That sounds awesome

[@history_leisure]

The past decade has shown they don’t care about upkeeping The Animatronics and they saw most people didn’t care about them either, so they’ve decided to gut them. The location I went to was killed by COVID and is presently being reused as a flea market space. The blue sky facade of the Studio C alpha and the stage top plus the tiles on the prize and food area (plus door stickers) are all that remain (the restrooms seemed to have been redone, I hypothesize that this was done by the current owner after COVID restrictions were mostly lifted)

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Luckily some locations do care a lot though, like the Pineville-Matthew’s location on North Carolina, so I really hope they keep the good ones!

[@history_leisure]

@@TheTNTMuffin apparently the one their keeping is in California. Feel a little bad for the dude at the location he visited in the Munch jr video

[@TheTNTMuffin]

@@history_leisure I’ve heard rumors that they’re keeping the Munch Jr stage too, but I’m not sure if it’s true

My town use to have one a long time ago but it's no longer exists but I did use to go there a couple times for birthdays

[@KidMangaX]

Can’t believe you didn’t talk about the haunted stage. You know, the one where they found the dead kids in the suits…? Think it was called Fazbear something, or maybe I’m thinking of Comet Ping Pong?

[@earlydooscoobygaming540]

14:02 I agree, that is the worst stage

[@trebleclef8284]

My location had a studio c alpha stage but it was removed right before covid. 😢 I did get to visit a one-stage location only about 40 minutes from my house and I’m glad I did since now they are extremely rare. Thanks for making this video 🙏🙏

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Aw well at least you got to see the Studio C before it got removed, those are really cool. Thank you for watching 🙏🙏

[@OsaBreezski]

my chuck e cheese still has the og animatronic still there

[@TheTNTMuffin]

What stage is it?

[@ChefpeepeeYT453]

7:15 it would be cool if they took the robot out of there and Swap with the person in the costume

[@pink_Panther_YTP]

[@MumaX992]

They actually did manage to keep the animatronics in one location. That being somewhere in California.

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Yeah it’s the Northridge location

[@soobymsn1260]

A location that had The Rocker Stage was my childhood location. I learned that they removed the stage after it happened so I never got to visit it before it was removed. Pretty bummed about that but I’m glad I got to grow up with this stage

[@TheTNTMuffin]

Aw I wish you could’ve seen it before it got removed, but it’s cool that you got to see it at all at least!

[@NFGamergirl0]

I remember growing up in the studio c beta with the screen and I was always so terrified of chucke as a kid.

i think major magics was also awesome they revived it for a bit in 2019 and we went there a few times it got shut down over the virus

The Chuck E. Cheese near my house has had lot of stages. Ive personally seen 5 of these stages at the same Chuck E. Cheese. I've seen the 3 stage, the 2 stage, the 1 stage, The studio c alpha, and the studio c cappa. Now there is no stage at all at that Chuck E. Cheese

Aw that’s sucks man. Well there are still a few 3-stages left, so maybe you can visit one of them
