This actually seems like a good idea I had a little thinking of suggesting a video to you named “what if creative engineering made animitronics for chuck e cheese?” And it seems like that is what is gonna happen in this video

[@jessicalytton4520]

Idea for an april fools video: It would be a video in the style of your "What If" videos, this time being "What If Showbiz Pizza Place and Pizza Time Theater merged?" It would basically be a retelling of the events that happened in real life except you're completely oblivious to the fact that it actually happened

Itsarob in an alternate universe

[@BeachKai]

Well done video dude! I think you honestly got the concept down really well. My only alternate suggestion would be that, since Showbiz was doing a little better financially than PTT was at this time, I believe there would be a chance the merger wouldn't even happen if PTT didn't actually go bankrupt, even though they still had to slowly pay PTT back. Though I agree with PTT falling behind with the 90s, I feel that they would definitely fall out. This was a great watch!

Cool concept

[@muppetsretrofan8873]

This was an amazing, but really sad "what if". While I personally enjoy seeing how Chuck E Cheese would've changed, I don't like the idea of the company just fading away into the 90s. I know it's the most realistic answer since in this "what if" timeline, they didn't know how to adapt, but being a 2000s kid, I have fond memories of going to Chuck E Cheese's. I personally really like the idea of another pizza company buying CEC out and updating it while keeping the best elements of the PTT era. TBH, I actually prefer pre-Showbiz merger PTT Chuck over all other versions of Chuck, even Avenger Chuck who I grew up with. However, I've always wondered, what if the big pizza chains: Domino's Pizza, Pizza Hut, and Little Caesar's noticed the popularity of PTT and Showbiz and decided to change their restaurants to have CEC/Showbiz-like elements such as animatronics, while still having focus on their main attractions [Pizza Hut: the experience. Domino's Pizza: Delivery. Little Caesar's: cheap but yummy pizza]? Interestingly Little Caesar's did try with Caesarland but it didn't work out very well for them. Also interesting is that there's a photo floating around of a Little Caesar animatronic in the video Animatronic Analysis-Creative Presentations on YT. However, I believe Pizza Hut and Domino's could potentially handle CEC-type attractions better. Here's my theories: Pizza Hut: Pizza Hut would bring back Pizza Hut Pete [due to seeing how CEC had Pasqually], and create new characters, such as a alley cat named Pepperoni Basil [the joke being his name doesn't follow the same alliteration convention as other Pizza Hut characters], Pizza Hut would still keep a smaller arcade and keep the dine-in experience relatively unchanged. However, in the 1990s, they would replace the original animatronic show with animatronic versions of Pizza Head and Steve the Pizza-Cutter, but some of the characters created specifically for the Pizza Hut animatronic show would remain. Domino's Pizza: What's interesting is that Domino's was founded on delivery and mostly has small buildings even to this day. Here's how I see this working: In late 1986/early 1987, Domino's would test out new concept stores that were larger then the normal Domino's Pizza stores. People could actually eat inside, and there were fun cartoon-y decorations all over the wall. There would also be a huge arcade area, with a special showroom. The animatronic show was based on Will Vinton Studios properties: Rex and Herb from Dinosaurs/Claymation Festival/Claymation Christmas Celebration, the California Raisins, Tom, Huck, and Becky from the 1985 trippy Will Vinton film Adventures of Mark Twain, some penguins, a walrus, and finally The Noid himself. As The Noid was Domino's Pizza's main mascot [and the only one of the characters listed that they actually own], the focus was on him. He was portayed as he was in the commercials, mischievous, still wanting but failing to destroy Domino's Pizza, and someone snarky, but the showtapes also revealed a hidden good side to The Noid. The concept stores were a huge success. In 1988, the California Raisins animatronics were switched out from the Raisins from the TV ads [Tiny Goodbite, Ben Indasun, etc...] to the Raisins from the specials [A.C., Beebop, Stretch, and Red], with the new showtapes reflecting this. However, in 1989, due to a certain incident that happened at a Domino's location [which ruined The Noid's reputation, which I find unfair. It wasn't Domino's fault what happened], the new test stores changed names from Noidland to Dominoland. In 1993, three new characters were added, Donny Domino, Dottie Domino, and Wilshire Pig [Claymation Comedy of Horrors, and Claymation Easter], while The Noid was slowly phased out of the Dominoland locations until being completely dropped in 1999. Animatronics of the M&Ms Spokescandies were added that same year to compensate. However, due to rising costs of animatronics and arcade games, and Domino's wanting to focus more on their pizza quality, the Dominoland locations were one by one, VERY slowly turned into semi-regular Domino's Pizza locations, with the only difference being sized. Most of the animatronics ended up in private collectors' collections, but one Domino's Pizza still has all animatronics, even the Noid one, on display. Albeit, they don't preform anymore. I personally think this could be an interesting timeline. For context behind the Domino's part of this What-If, I highly recommend watching the documentary Claydream, the Secret Galaxy [KZbin] video: The Tragic Rise and Fall Of The Noid, the KZbin video: The Rise and Fall Of The California Raisins, and finally the Company Man [KZbin] video: The Rise and Fall and Rise Again of Domino's Pizza. But I ESPECIALLY recommend Claydream, it's the bittersweet story of Will Vinton, and his studios [which produced A LOT of mascots, including The Noid and The California Raisins], and how it became Laika.

[@ItzaRob]

I'd rather not be given the ideas for what to do for a What If video outside of the idea. This is certainly an interesting What If idea and I may do it in the future.

[@KuDastardly]

One of the major factors tying Chucky Cheese to the Video Game Crash of '83 is that the CEO founder, Nolan Bushnell, put all of his eggs into one basket. He basically invested much of the profit from Chucky Cheese into Atari to further expand the video game arcade into his franchise. Perhaps had he instead redirected some of the budget into more advanced animatronic R&D and not saturated the franchise market just one up Showbiz Pizza, I could see it plausible that CECPTT wouldn't have filed Chptr. 11 bankruptcy. Not to mention Nolan Bushnell wouldn't have resigned as a result.

A few what ideas. What If Crusty the Cat stayed? Or What If Madame oink or Harmony howlette stayed? Or what if Jasper or Pasqually were removed instead? Or….What if there were no guest star animatronics?

May I use the ‘What-If’ format for a video of my own? (It’s gonna be fairly similar to your what if videos, but with more research, and it’s not about CEC/Showbiz. I‘ll credit you for the format, and make sure to make it distinct from your videos)

[@Shannaxx123]

I think 1:mr much will become super Lost media because I think he only thing that they would have would be a drawling of him and maybe even more lost then dr duck 2 it might mess up concept unification because crusty wouldn’t fit to be fats and nether Billy bob so they could take the original fats into Helen idea and Mitzi would become crusty or they could change crusty to look more like Pete from Mickey Mouse but I don’t think that would fit his character and after that, I don’t think there would be any more different there would be the 2.0 remodel, Studio C would be the same only mr much is crusty but mr munch jr we’ll have to be changed so maybe crusty jr or Chuck E. Cheese jr and that’s what I think will happen
