This video kicked off my bizarre obsession with 80's epcot. Thank you so much for making me realize my weird early childhood memory of singing animatronic veggies wasn't just a strange fever-induced hallucination.
There are no words for how much I loved this show, and in my opinion, it still holds up fantastically. Such good music, well done Animatronic work, and memorable characters. Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit 4 life!
Thank you for this video. It brings me back to my visit to Epcot in 1988, during my 6 weeks in the US. The longest journey of my life, the most extraordinary. I love you America! It's a pity that I am Italian...
loved this aesthetic of animatronic, late 80's early 90's? just the way the animatronics were sculpted and the music was fascinating to me. wish i would've been able to see this in person
Me too. Despite going to Epcot in both 1990 and 1991, we never saw Kitchen Kabaret but I saw the characters in the pamphlets. Wish we saw it because it's a great show.
showing my kids this video made them eat their veggies and meat they love this show so much. I fear the day i have to tell them they will never be able to see it live
I love how even after the Krackpots' show was over, the mustard saxophonist guy just kept spinning in circles. Guess he was having too much fun to stop! He certainly looks like he was entertained, lol! I know I'd get motion sick if I tried spinning in circles for so long!!
The audio animatronics in this show were better than what they have NOW at Monsters Inc. ride at Disneyland California Adventure. I saw this when I was very young. Maybe 4 years old. I will never forget seeing those singing veggies. Thank you Martin for all your work in digitally preserving these attractions, and for sharing them with the world.
The strength of this show was that it wasn't trying to be current and hip. It was deliberately retro, even for 1982. It emulated the musical styles of bygone decades, but it wasn't just a jukebox show of parodies. Food Rocks, by contrast, was trying way too hard to be hip and ended up dating itself.
That was probably why food rocks made such a bad impression on me as a kid. If I was old enough to have seen Kitchen Kaberet, I'd have fonder memories of this. In addition, Food Rocks was an autistic kid's worst nightmare; way too loud. My auditory sensitivity was real bad back then. KK was smoother, easier on the ears. Not to mention: KK's animatronics seem much better.
This show was awesome bro. I remember being their. It was so fantastic and amazing. The queue art is good and the sign never falls to impress me. I have such good memory and I even know the songs.
If only all the attractions in Epcot combined fun and education like this one did. Who knows, universe of energy, world of motion, maelstrom and the living seas might still be open!
Thanks for posting this. While I was too young to remember, I was at Epcot several times in the 80s. I know I have seen this because the broccoli really stood out to me and he was very familiar. Great times.
Interesting to note- Towards the end of Kitchen Kabaret's run, the show changed sponsors, and to reflect that the Mayonnaise animatronic was repainted to look like a jar of spaghetti sauce and the barbecue sauce bottle was repainted to look like a bottle of salad dressing
when krafts sponsertship expired nesle came in and closed it down food rocks came in and when nesles sponsertship expired they brought soarin over Thats The Story
Connor Antalek this was made at a time when the music was relevant and popular. This show was one of the first attractions that Epcot had when it opened and it remained popular till they re-changed it, that's why the music remained that way for the longest time. Disney at the time wasn't about pop culture and changing to the latest trend it was about stepping back in time and enjoying a past that is no longer with us. Not this pop culture trash we have now..
I'm sad.... I've never seen food rocks or ever been in this building... to know it's still standing in Epcot and I see it all the time when we go.... I really want them to open it back up!
An outdated show, Kitchen Kabaret was hosted by the unexcited Bonnie Appetite, who was joined by animatronic kitchen cans and pots who performed healthy-eating-themed tunes to hits of the 1950s, which were distant from the time that Kitchen Kabaret existed. In addition, the USDA had changed its food chain system by 1992. Disney was definitely right in retiring this attraction.
One of my favorite past gems of Epcot! Veggie FRUIT FRUIT! Also is the voice of the announcer the same guy as the "Please stand clear of the doors, por favor mantenganse alejado de las puertas" monorail voice?
I'm not disputing whether Soarin' is a great attraction. It is, I love it. The music is amazing. It's just a shame that one by one, all the animatronic attractions are being taken away. Food Rocks / Kitchen Cabaret, although I never saw either in person, is was a very clever way of teaching people about the food groups with some very catchy ditties. I am sad that you don't see it that way.
The best part about kitchen cabaret was that the food would sing to you. My favorite performance was by the breakfast duo ham and eggs because they totally cracked me up.
I miss this show! I missed Food Rocks too! I think I confused them with each other but I liked both! I hope maybe someday they can bring them back at least to help the lines for Soarin be a little easier and a place for people to go to cool off and have some good old fashioned fun. :)
I know it is not confirmed, but I won't be surprised this inspired the 'Don't hug me I'm scared' crew... 'Are you hungry? You look to me a bit hungry...'
I never seen Kitchen Kabaret or Food Rocks, but I got to say that Kitchen Kabaret has better soul and more entertainingly funny that a authentic Disney show should have, which is why Food Rocks is so bad.
Even though Soarin' was a great replacement for this ride, I am sad to see it go. I wish they would have taken out one of the other less popular attractions in the Pavilion to place it, then remove this. Thanks for posting.
Michael Eastman Yes I know, but Soarin replaced this after food rocks. Soarin is in the same location that this whole section use to be in, hence why it's not there anymore. I know the evolution of the park, it went from this show, to Food Rocks and then the whole section was redesigned to include Soarin' in that section because of its popularity and the decline ratings of Food Rock thank you. I don't blame you for thinking it, you'd have had to go to that area a lot of times to know what was there before hand and after.
***** It's a shame, I really enjoyed that. though, I probably was the only one who did. I like Soarin' as well.. It's just always a shame when rides get replaced with newer ones, sometimes they work out like Soarin' is a great replacement. and sometimes, they don't.
these rides have a limited time cause most sponsors usually drop them after their contract and attractions becomes outdated for something newer and more futuristic. enjoy them before they are gone. i loved kabaret and food rocks when i went and watching but i havent gone since 2000 or so , ive never seen soarin at the park, only on youtube.
@@jbeachboy100 no the quality on these bots are 1000000000000 times better than the food rocks characters, I am convinced the food rocks ones might have actually been made out of cardboard lmao 🤣
@@cathodeplayer both were animatronics. I barely remember kitchen kabaret. I went to disney in 86 and 89 or so. I loved kitchen kabaret and food rocks.
This, Tiki Room, and Country Bears we’re both serenade like animatronic shows. If those two stayed, this should’ve also stayed. Why not return this show to The Land Pavilion replacing The Circle Of Life theater. The Kitchen Kabaret’s return should have a new advanced re do of the whole cast, including a new lifelike animatronic version of Bonnie Appodite. While the food animatronics will be 3D ones (like what you see on SDMT and Frozen). And newly remastered audio. So Epcot, make this your second attraction return since you did Captain EO.
Well actually the theater needs to return for a new show but this time a live show similar to Voyage of the little mermaid, festival of the lion king, finding nemo the musical etc, It's based on a movie It should be themed on wall e, and be called Wall-e the musical instead of audio animatronics(with the exception of auto and the wall-As, Hal is a remoted controlled ) the robots and the humans in the movie were performed as live performers
Animatronics are actually scary, but tis looks actually pretty funny. And the learning factor is pretty neat in this. I guess they already demolished that years ago. Didnt they?
This video kicked off my bizarre obsession with 80's epcot. Thank you so much for making me realize my weird early childhood memory of singing animatronic veggies wasn't just a strange fever-induced hallucination.
i have this same obsession, im really not sure why
+SnaxAttacks me too
this was a classic at epcot
Veggie veggie fruit fruit ... a song that I still sing today!
There are no words for how much I loved this show, and in my opinion, it still holds up fantastically. Such good music, well done Animatronic work, and memorable characters. Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit 4 life!
Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit. Lol! That's a classic if that doesn't make you eat right I don't know what will.
***** You know you're old when you can quote that song word from word from memory and still enjoy it till this day lol. good times..
Eternaldarkness3166 the theater is replaced by a crappy flight simulator called soarin'
you prefer soarin or kitchen kabaret?
Kitchen Kabaret
Thank you for this video. It brings me back to my visit to Epcot in 1988, during my 6 weeks in the US. The longest journey of my life, the most extraordinary. I love you America! It's a pity that I am Italian...
Words cannot express how irrational a love I had of this exhibit as a child...

I miss 80's Epcot so much that it hurts sometimes:(
They are closing The Universe Of Energy Pavilion to be replaced by Guardians Of The Galaxy
you have to go to these attractions because disney will eventually close it down and replace it.
Same here. All of my old favorites are gone.
guardian08527 I know right!!! Nothing like it!!!
@@southparkboyproductions6040 when I heard about the Guardians roller coaster, I knew that Epcot had finally jumped the shark
I love how even after the Krackpots' show was over, the mustard saxophonist guy just kept spinning in circles. Guess he was having too much fun to stop! He certainly looks like he was entertained, lol! I know I'd get motion sick if I tried spinning in circles for so long!!

Love this! I still have a Kitchen Kabaret plastic plate with the characters that my parents bought me as a kid. Such amazing memories!
This is what I call "dinner theater".
Try the veal, folks. It's literally here all week.
Get another attraction of this yeah that would be a good name
@gamemiser8329 Quite!
I remember this! When i was 8 us kids insisted that my parents took us in to see the kitchen kabaret twice, we loved it that much!
MY CHILDHOOD!!! This is fabulous... thank you for sharing this. I'll be singing Bonnie Appetit's songs ALLL night now!
This is absolutely adorable! I wish I had seen this as a child.

Spot on. I didn’t even like Food Rocks when I was in my teens. By contrast, I loved Kitchen Kabaret as a kid, and I love it now.
However if they wanted to TRULY date FR, they would have ONLY done parodies of songs from 1993-1994!
This show was awesome bro. I remember being their. It was so fantastic and amazing. The queue art is good and the sign never falls to impress me. I have such good memory and I even know the songs.
I'm 30 years old and still sing veggie veggie fruit fruit only a daily basis 😂
I heard this on TV when I was little wondering where this is from
@@CrazyManhog that song appears in "Epcot Forever" fireworks show
@@ecoRfan gee thanks for spoiling it..
@@CrazyManhog It's a very short appearance though that's mixed up with other songs in a medley of silliness.
I sing the meat group song while eating fruit.
I miss the 80's!
the singing lady character at 3:24 reminds me of Shelly Long when she played Diane on cheers :LOL
The animitronics on some of these are actually incredible. The bread looks like it actually has a puppeteer.
This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Why was I not born in the 80s?
what year were u born??
I wish I was born in 1979
Taylor Wolfe such an awesome time to be a kid!!! Memories!!
I know right?
I thought I was the only person obsessed with this! Imagination, World of Motion, Body Wars and..the Computer Revue!
For years I would have random flashbacks of this show and until now I had no idea what I was remembering o:
My god I remember this. I wish it was still around. I saw this in like 1984 I think.
This should have 3 million views or so. Very cool.
If only all the attractions in Epcot combined fun and education like this one did. Who knows, universe of energy, world of motion, maelstrom and the living seas might still be open!
Horizon
Ok someone needs to come up with "Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit" T-shirts! 😁
It actually appears in the new interim fireworks show

Veggie veggie fruit fruit is one of my first memories. I was probably 4 or 5.
Thank you for creating and uploading this.
why did this ever stop. bring it back disney so cool
Well,Disney is just obsessed with being modern (destroying the classic attractions) since Walt Disney died.
Disney World already closed “The Great Movie Ride” and “Ellen’s Energy Adventure”.
people thought it got old and soarin became popular in other parts so they wanted a ride.
when krafts sponsertship expired nesle came in and closed it down food rocks came in and when nesles sponsertship expired they brought soarin over
Thats The Story
Guys people now days especially kids would not like this and be terrified
The Audio-Animatronics all still exist. In fact you can see the Mustard Jar in the Backstage Area if you take the Undiscovered Future World Tour
Kyle Chang Well now I absolutely must do this tour lol
Thank you for editing and sharing this video! This show was top notch; the music and the animatronics were great.
I agree with the animatronics... but the music...

I was waiting for the animatronic at 1:52 to uncross her legs. Let's REALLY spice up this kitchen! XD
Blimmo D. Clown 😂😂😂😂
*MMMMMM-*
I don’t feel safe anymore
I'm sad.... I've never seen food rocks or ever been in this building... to know it's still standing in Epcot and I see it all the time when we go.... I really want them to open it back up!
This is one of the only Disney rides I genuinely miss.
Horizons and World of Motion for me
My life at 10-11. Love this!
Just FYI, this video tribute is better than any of the official Disney vids of KK on RUclips :)
I loved this show. I first saw it in October 1983. I miss it.
Mr. Broccoli was my overall favorite character in all of Epcot from my visit in 1985. I still remember Veggie fruit fruit!
I remember this ride when I was kid

Also is the voice of the announcer the same guy as the "Please stand clear of the doors, por favor mantenganse alejado de las puertas" monorail voice?
I was born in 1993 and he was so amazing
Wow...brings me right back to my childhood...
Food Rocks didn't hold a candle to this.
It's now a queue line for Soarin'. Great.
And? Soarin' s a great ride. Better than a food rock n roll show or a 1920s style food musical.
I'm not disputing whether Soarin' is a great attraction. It is, I love it. The music is amazing. It's just a shame that one by one, all the animatronic attractions are being taken away. Food Rocks / Kitchen Cabaret, although I never saw either in person, is was a very clever way of teaching people about the food groups with some very catchy ditties. I am sad that you don't see it that way.
I agree, I feel like within the next couple of years, all of the classic old rides that made the parks great will be gone.. it's sad really.
Great Movie Ride is closing next month
Nooooooo!!! :( This is very sad news.
Omg that's were this song is from always heard this on dvd!!!
3:58 Mayonnaise waves at Bonnie 🥺 ADORABLEE
Edit: I just noticed he winked at her too 😭
The best part about kitchen cabaret was that the food would sing to you. My favorite performance was by the breakfast duo ham and eggs because they totally cracked me up.
i have never seen a wdw "re-do" that compares to the original. love this video.
i accidentally switched the setting to super fast. ITS HILARIOUS
It’s like the food ate sugar
3:59 this lady is actually looking quite cute for an old show
I miss this show! I missed Food Rocks too! I think I confused them with each other but I liked both! I hope maybe someday they can bring them back at least to help the lines for Soarin be a little easier and a place for people to go to cool off and have some good old fashioned fun. :)
disney doesnt bring back old attractions.
Journey into Imagination. :)
I need a bigger license plate so i can put " veggie veggie fruit fruit " on it.
Epcot should bring this back!
And get rid of Soarin?! I don't think so!
Those are some pretty sexy dairy products (I can't believe I said that).
...I think those are reused ppl from its a small world...
I despise the middle one

Except it's more family friendly.

If I could l would bring back The Kitchen Kaberet to anywhere in WDW.😍❤️🧡💛💚💙💜♥️💖🤩💗😍🎥📹📽️
I think that the mayonnaise guy likes Bonnie, considering the 😉 wink he gave her!💖🌹

Why can’t they bring this back? 😭
Because It’s outdated
Wait they not bringing back or it just a rumor

Martin do you have a tribute to Malestrom?
I kind of remember this show when I was a kid, this was in the land palvion if I'm not mistaken lion king is where this show was..
They had a Lion King show in this same pavilion, yes.
what was lion king show called?

i dont recall that show, i last went to disney around 2000 so i havent since rides past then.

Well actually the theater needs to return for a new show but this time a live show similar to Voyage of the little mermaid, festival of the lion king, finding nemo the musical etc, It's based on a movie
It should be themed on wall e, and be called Wall-e the musical instead of audio animatronics(with the exception of auto and the wall-As, Hal is a remoted controlled ) the robots and the humans in the movie were performed as live performers
I don’t think Wall-e wouldn’t fit with the land pavilion
