Off topic AF. I think it's cute how the employee is singing the ABC's with those two children. So precious! Edit: Plus, you can tell he loved his job. He was so cheerful and amazing towards the children.
I was there...Not in this video but I visited this place when I was younger. I loved it. It makes me so sad to see how the animatronics look today. I started to cry watching this video it reminded me of my 7th birthday which I had here in 1998 in July. All kids have now is Chuck E. Cheese. I miss this place ): R.I.P Looney Birds.
The website still exists and towns can purchase shows so there is a possibility it could come back and this was a test restaurant to see if people would like it
Hi, Aaron. I love this video too. I wanted people to appreciate how much magic your Looney Bird's concept brought to many children, and that it inspired my interest when I was only months old. You absolutely may post it.
Gosh, I very much recall this place! My father (if I recall correctly) was hired to make the sign for the place (or do the casting or something.....I honestly don't recall the details) and I remember the dozen or so times my sister and I would hang out there. I still drive by that corner store front everytime I drive to the airport, almost on purpose every time, just to remember what once was! Thanks for the memories!
given how much fun the other employee is having, i doubt it. as someone who's fursuited before, the mask is likely just a little hard to see out of, which is why he tilts his head down and is moving slower- though it does give the impression he's uninterested
@@RadicalSharkRS yes they got together way after the nrae was made. Aaron has admitted rolfe was supposed to be the character you were to hate, but everyone loves him.
The little girl singing ABC almost killed me XD It's amazing for me to think that this was filmed the same year I was born. I wish Looney Bird's was still around. It looked really awesome!
***** I see you have a goal of destroying the obsessive fanboys/girls. I'm not the crazy type, but yes, I'm a fan of FNAF. Just go exterminate the 5 year olds and such. They don't belong in the fandom. Wish ya luck.
I'd love to go there. Such a bummer it ended up closed early. I can imagine having lot of fun in there, especially since there's the New Rock afire Explosion there. I love the Myjn style Rock afire Explosion as much as the original classic style Rock afire Explosion.
This video shows the evolution of the Chuck E. Cheese/Showbiz restaurants. You see that light coming in all those windows? You could count yourself lucky to even *find* a window at my local Showbiz back in the early 80s. In the gaming area I think they liked to rely on a few track and spot lights only while letting the games provide the rest of the illumination. By about 1990 they finally had the place lit up pretty good and eventually added a few windows over the next two decades.
I think Aaron wants more places like this to open to compete with Chuck e cheese. I read an article about this and I'm extremely interested in this! What he wants is for you to open a looney birds in your town and e-mail him if your interested! And I am!!!
Scientist Looney Bird Well can you blame him for wanting to compete with CEC? He was literally threatened by the people he used to be friends with that ran Showbiz/CEC through the 80s into giving up the rights to the Rock A-Fire Explosion and not to have a say in what CEC did to the band or the band would be replaced with Chuck E and friends. It only makes sense for him to want to compete with Chuck E Cheese.
Aaron? He hates Chuck e cheese, and he wasn't threatened the only time he was threaten was by billy bobs wonderland. He did make showbiz pizza Chuck e cheese to save money
Scientist Looney Bird I was saying pretty much threatened since CEC's people wanted him to give the rights to the RAE to them or the band would cease to exist, That's essentially a threat.
You were the cutest kid i've ever seen that must of been great i'm pretty sad that i was born almost 12 years later and I wish I was able to go see the New Rockafire or the Classic Rockafire welp sucks to be me
Lady Nameless "It's Your Birthday", which was a parody of "Mr. Postman", originally part of the Happy Birthday Medley that the Rock-afire Explosion did in 1980.
OMG childhood before I was born was so sweet I wish lonny birds was still around (nitzi sounded a bit akward but XD) the chicken dance almost KILLED ME litterly awesome I hope she had a fun birthday I knew I would of XD I got up aand danced to the macarana XD
No, these are actually called "Mujins", and they were newer versions of the characters with alot more movement in the early 90's. They didn't really last long though since people prefered the original Rockafire show. XD Aaron is actually working on restoring the Gen. 2 Dook and Mitzi from what I know, but I'm not sure when he's gonna end up finishing them.
I don’t get it like I like the characters but the staff that are in the rockafire walk around suits he looks depressed or grumpy like I don’t get ps I like the rockafire

And billy bobs wonderland when I go there's 1,000 kids having a party
This is some pretty amazing footage of Looney's. Wish it was still around :(
The website still exists and towns can purchase shows so there is a possibility it could come back and this was a test restaurant to see if people would like it
That guy definetley loved his job.
The employee was doing such a good job!! You could tell he was really having fun, haha!
I wish i was born back in the rock a fire days. Now the only thing I can rely on is Billy Bobs Wonderland!
I know
Same.
What about Smittys super service
Smitty’s Super Service Station in Mississippi? Didn’t they close down?
@@emmarose4234 no
I REALLY miss when the workers would sing with kids. I hate that about Chuck E. Cheese's. The workers never sing with kids.
James Hutcheson They still do. Really depends on location and staff.
CEC Florida Well on a general basis, not before 2012.
That is one cool and good conditioned show. I'm impressed at how the tech really cared about that show!
the guy in Looney birds costume looks bored
it's not a guy
Ya think?
@@verge-youtube BILLY bobs wonderland lemme guess
Yea XD
Especia bruh furries can do fucking dancing competition in suits
Thanks for sharing this, really cool to see how Looney Bird's looked back in the day!
I love this video. Would you mind if I published it on the official Rock-afire channel?
Hi, Aaron. I love this video too. I wanted people to appreciate how much magic your Looney Bird's concept brought to many children, and that it inspired my interest when I was only months old. You absolutely may post it.
I can't believe you got 75,000 views! How did you do that?
Yes, when you're ready to discuss a date, write me at aaron@starsof.com. Thanks!
Aaron Did this place still exist?
Yes and no,Now that Location is a Bar (and also the stage has gone)
Nice! This is like the only Looney's footage we have.
Patrick Boots CEC nah there’s tones
there is more footage when they do the macarena dance
3:48 okay we get it Mitzi XD just sing or something.
XD
I LOVE THIS SONG :)
Before everyone was like omg five nights at freddy's animatronic will kill me omg
Exactly but I'm one of those kids that have an interest in animatronics.
Gosh, I very much recall this place!

The guy in the Looney Bird suit is probably thinking "I hate my job".
Same.

Nah

I-i cant. This video is too amazing.
this new animatronics are good but... they design... i don't like it, i prefer the classic style
and where is Rolfe? he is my favorite ;-;
he's not in the new rock afire Hes a traveling character and Aaron never knew he had that many fans
The new version doesn't have him only on the TV screen
...Rolfe...gone...reduced to atoms...
his wife- @@coolcrawford
@@RadicalSharkRS yes they got together way after the nrae was made. Aaron has admitted rolfe was supposed to be the character you were to hate, but everyone loves him.
Looney Bird: Well, that really beats anchovies.
This place is a lot more interactive than Chuck E. Cheese
The little girl singing ABC almost killed me XD

KentuckyWallChicken Yes! And, interestingly, I am still good friends with her!
+Julian Cerda. You have an excellent point there.

KentuckyWallChicken tt
Chucky Cheese has nothing to do with this quality of animation and character desing!! Long live Rock-Afire Explosion!!!
@Emontre waters Just to fix my comment now I'm with Chuck E. Cheese because the Rock-A fire Explosion creator is a damn fascist Trumpist xDD
I'd love to go there. Such a bummer it ended up closed early. I can imagine having lot of fun in there, especially since there's the New Rock afire Explosion there. I love the Myjn style Rock afire Explosion as much as the original classic style Rock afire Explosion.
I want the Looney bird costume so bad!!!
Ohh I have a photo!!!!
Cool. I like how that is the first good
nrae stage in the public
I got to see the NRAE mechs in person today :3 so cool!!!!
Showbiz CEC where at
Tinley park IL!! They were fixing them! So I looked under the curtain and it was just mechs!!!

OMG what a time capsule, they’re singing the macarena! 😂
So upsetting that in the 90s everyone actually LIKED the animatronics. 😣
Yes. The 80's and 90's were different in so mant great ways!
Hey Cec florida.
This was located of curry ford rd right?
Why is it bad that they like them I like them??
@CEC Memes When you said everyone actually liked the animatronics, do you mean that as a good thing or a bad thing?
I realized how fluffy and soft BeachBear looks
I wish you had footage of the Wizard of Oz show at Looney Bird’s
Wait , the wizard of Oz show was at looney bird's ?

Pizzaguy121 Lol
FlyerCoolMan33 *facepalm* Another person does not get the joke

They had a looney bird costume ? Wow!
2 there was one of him in a barrel with wings and legs poking out of the barrel
Does anybody notice that the camera IS WAY AHEAD OF IT'S TIME?!?
Cough time travel cough
Not for 1998, it was pretty good though
Showbiz CEC no this is a cam Corders quality. They were around in the nineties just VERY expensive
Damn.... these robots have ALOT of movement! Almost lifelike.
You can tell Aaron voiced Mitzi and Beach Bear.
Yup
those girls singing the ABCs were SO cute
Mitzi: The only word that i know: I Love This Song
xd
That employee absolutely LOVED his job and you can tell
1:43 - 2:20 Grandma's got some moves! lol
1:02 what is the song?
Happy birthday medley
0:17 awww! The little baby is so cute!
That's CEC Florida as a kid, read the description
I Can't Believe Looney Bird Actually Hugged Somebody! 😃

puppet girl im born in 2007
Bro when the worker was talking to looney it was so funny lmao

Fun fact, I own that looney on desk in this video
This is funny and brings back memories , one second you see a drunk new rockafire singing working on the railroad , and the next minute ..... 5:25
rock-afire exposin thank you.....
3:26 I was laughing at that part- "QR”
0:39 Cute the baby! Who was he?
THAT'S CEC FLORIDA!
When Looney Bird drinks to much oil 6:05
He droonc! O-_-o
I wonder how the air lines and wires didn't get all tangled up while all the stage and characters rotated.
You were the cutest kid i've ever seen that must of been great i'm pretty sad that i was born almost 12 years later and I wish I was able to go see the New Rockafire or the Classic Rockafire welp sucks to be me
"He sees you but you don't see him."
That's just a bit disturbing.
Man I remember 5 or 6 year old me watching this when It came out
Wow so this is how they used to be..... I wonder how Aaron got the Mijins to turn on the turn table for the rock-afire stage.
mitzi actually has hair! and a flower crown?
Where is this Looney birds place
0:13 what song is this?
Lady Nameless "It's Your Birthday", which was a parody of "Mr. Postman", originally part of the Happy Birthday Medley that the Rock-afire Explosion did in 1980.
Showbiz Rock-afire thanks :D
Hey I remember showbiz pizza 🍕 place Fatz Geronimo and his band the rock afire explosion 💥 sang happy birthday to me when I was a kid
"I love this song"
I was calibrating why duke looked different......it’s because he had no hat
Did you actually go there or was this someone else’s trip?
omg those haircuts back then!!
Congratulations Looney bird I didn't know you had your own restaurant
Guess he decided to get out of his barrel and do something with his life
6:44 How can a kid not notice a somewhat giant ostriche-bird flying? LOL
Lololololo
HAHAHA funnnny.
this new rock afire explosion is like 7 times as expensive as a studio c stage because the animatronics are like the studio c
Hey CEC Florida, how did you get the original Happy Birthday Medley? Was it from Creative Engineering?
ArchBonnie Yes, I have the clean audio in my personal collection of show audio.
+CEC Florida what is the song at 4:12
I've Been Working On The Railroad.
Is loony birds still open
Why does Mitzy sound like Mini from the Wolf Pack 5 in this version?!! It's really weird...
It's an older tape. It's before a woman voiced her. Aaron voiced early Mitzi and Mini
Not event woman it was 11 year old shalisa!
But that was aaron.
Yeah. I'm really late, but Beach Bear sounds like his old Wolf Pack 5 version.
I was born the month this was made o-o

Happy birthday medley
Why at 1:52 a lot of girls are dancing Macarena?! X-D

Wait is this a 2 gen Mitzie? Because of the movements
No, these are actually called "Mujins", and they were newer versions of the characters with alot more movement in the early 90's.

@@princesspeachfan100 Mijins*
Imagine if they called it Helen’s and placed her in the middle of the balcony stage.
