      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.

      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.

    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 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.

    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.)

    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.

    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.

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..

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 .

    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.

    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.

    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.
