The great thing about this movie is that the actual creator of the games wrote the screenplay so everything shown in the movie has a legit and a great explanation behind it.
@@CoyzyMovieNight The reason why he wasn't dead yet at the end of the movie was because being springlocked is a very slow death. even in the games he died slowly
Fun fact: The Blonde kid is the only one of the 5 MCI(Missing Children Incident) victims who never forgot what William Afton did to him, thats why you never see him attack Mike. He is the one possessing Golden Freddy (the broken yellow bear with a glowing blue eye that took a taxi ride with Abby) and part of what happened at the end was planned, he KNEW William Afton would come so he manipulated all that to happen so they could remember and turn agaisnt him. In the games the spirit of Golden Freddy is described as "The one you should not have killed" or "The vengeful spirit", symbolizing he is the one who most suffered and felt most anger for William Afton, he won't let him die, he will make William suffer a third of what he suffered
When editing the reaction, I realised that was a completely different bear. Totally missed that first time round 😂What an interesting character. Thank you for sharing, we love learning more about this world!
We don't know that the blonde kid in the movie canon never forgot, it's never shown or said in the movie. It begs the question as to why he didn't kill William beforehand or why he didn't tell the others, or even why he didn't try to torment William since being more ghost like he can leave the pizzaria. I don't think Scott would leave that in as a plot hole, so the only explanation I can think of is either he doesn't remember anything more than the others (Remember he's in the drawing of the kids and William too, including if I remember correctly the drawing that Abby made to help them remember) or he was the one that was the most manipulated by William, which I do feel like he manipulated him the most either way. The ending scene with him and William really screams to me 'This kid knows what you've done to him now, and he isn't looking to forgive you anytime soon'
The kids' names are Cassidy (Golden Freddy), Gabriel (Freddy), Jremy (Bonnie), Susie (Chica), and Fritz (Foxy). There's also a six child, one who like Cassidy is VERY important to the lore, and who we may see in the second movie.
Fun Fact: The song in the credits was made by the fans! Specifically Living Tombstone, like 8 years ago. Also yes, there is gonna be a sequel, its actually planned to be a trilogy!
This movie feels like such a labour of love, really reaching out to the fans with little easter eggs throughout, even in the end credits. That’s so cool
@@CoyzyMovieNightalso right here 14:27 when you were watching, the waiter was actually popular RUclipsr Matpat from game theory, it’s sad that he’s retiring (also I don’t know if you already knew that it was him)
There's a theory that the cupcake is also possessed by a dog that was owned by the little girl who I'd possessing Chica, they both died together by William, thus why the Cupcake is more attackish
I believe it was shown in Pizza Simulator (FNAF 6) during an arcade game that William lured Susie to where he had killed her dog. Then he said "He's not dead. He is right here" before taking her life. In the lore Susie was the first child of the 5 to be killed by him. FNAF UCN Chica voice: I was the first. I have seen *everything*
its so cool seeing a channel responding to everyone in the comments, its quite rare to see that Also im super happy that yall liked the movie, it was a crazy experience seeing in the cinema as a fnaf fan myself, fnaf has so much lore and the film did a good job showing the important parts And Hi from Brazil lol sorry for my bad english
It was a brilliant introduction to the FNAF universe, we had so much fun trying to figure out what was happening. Your english is wonderful and thank you! We love movies so much, so we enjoy chatting about the movie with you guys! We appreciate your comment, thank you ❤️
so here's a little explaination of some things u might be confused abt if ur not a fan of this franshise: there are 5 children, 4 of them are freddy, bonnie, chica, foxy but the 5th (the blonde boy) is a more powerful spirit, he's posessing the yellowish bear we see visiting mike's house, the game files just called him "the yellow bear" and in the games he outright just teleports when ur not looking at him, he's more supernatural than the others who are limited by their robotics. now let's talk about matthew lillard's character: "steve raglan" aka william afton!! basically he is this franshise's darth vader or voldemort. a very interesting character that sadly only gets touched on a bit, they don't explore his motives but he does have a few, the idea that this owner who started loving briging joy to kids and bring things to life, only to use that joy against them robbing them of their lives. also that last scene was him becoming one of them, it's kind of his obession, one that comes with the price of suffering but he does always come back (famous line of his from the games, fans freaked out when they heard it)
So the Yellow bear is actually called Golden Freddy. He is VERY important to the lore and was basically the character who kick-started the entire story. He used to be called Fredbear, and he performed right alongside Springbonnie, aka the Yellow Rabbit.
Thank you for this! I appreciate the explanation of the blonde boy, he was definitely a mystery for us 😂 the last scene was chilling, I can't wait to see more of this franchise
I loved your reaction! I am a fan of FNAF due to being a security guard IRL and also due to the story behind the creation of the games. Scott Cawthon was an indy game developer who didn't have a whole lot of success early in his career. That changed thanks to a rather cruel but accurate review a critic made of one of his games that described the characters as being "unintentionally horrifying" and "moving like broken animatronics". Scott was discouraged by this at first, but was later inspired to turn the weakness of that game into a strength by making a horror game about animatronics, thus beginning the FNAF series, which made Scott Cawthon a household name among horror game fans. It's the ultimate real-life example of the saying "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!" I especially enjoyed the movie as well, both due to the supurb acting (I was already a fan of Matthew Lillard from the live-action "Scooby-Doo" movies and of Mary Stuart Masterson from a movie called "Fried Green Tomatoes") and visuals and due to the reference to Nebraska (my home state).
Thank you so much! That's so cool how that criticism gave him the inspiration for what's become a huge franchise of games! We really enjoyed the movie too, hoping they make some more haha
I used to be a security guard for 18 years, and used to have to patrol dark warehouses and engineering rooms. I'm SO thankful FNAF wasn't around back then 😂
This is definitely my favourite reaction to this film, I loved all the speculation going on lol. Alot could've been changed for me as a fan but it was an all round alright adaptation, one main thing I feel like could've been changed would've been garret being kidnapped at freddys like the other kids rather than just being kidnapped at some random camp in nebraska, but maybe that would've made the story a bit too complicated somehow? Either way I enjoyed this, good video :)
This means a lot, thank you ❤ it’s always so hard seeing things you love being adapted, I’m glad to hear you were still pretty happy with it. Learning about the lore from all of these comments has been so much fun for us!!
Maybe, but him being kidnapped at Freddy's would get rid of the entire plot-point of Mike knowing nothing about the Pizzeria and the Animatronics. My belief is that Garret was William's first ever victim, either before he even opened Freddy's or before he decided to make the Pizzeria his hunting ground. He could have saw Garret and his family having the 'perfect holiday' in the woods and it made him snap, since we know his family is far from perfect. That is my headcanon.
the dog animatronic is a reference to an early hoax/fake image that came out around when the first game came out, his name is sparky the dog and he was created by someone random just to trick people back in 2014 lol. the name of the diner that the aunt and max talk at is also called sparky's as a reference. a lot of people have theorized that sparky is going to become hank, aka the burglar that got killed by bonnie in the closet, since his body was right next to that animatronic.
Would love to see you guys react to the game lore. The Fnaf Ultimate Timeline and Fnaf everything you need to know videos would be good videos to get into the lore of the series. Trust me, there is a TON of lore. The movie only touches on the basics of the 1st game. There are many many games in the series now, and many books as well. It's always nice to see people get into Fnaf for the first time. The sheer amount of references to the books and games this movie has is wild, but you'll only catch them once you know about the game and book lore. There are also 2 RUclipsr cameos in this movie as well. Love the reaction!
By the way he put on the mask because he knew that he will posess the suit after he dies. The Movie has scenes taken out of the books so there might be 3 movies like there is 3 books. The silver eyes, The twisted ones, and The fourth closet
As a longtime fan (FNAF is my special interest) this reaction was so lovely to see!!! It's so fun seeing interpretation from outside the fandom, I hope you get the chance to explore more of the lore! It's a goofy, fun and creepy mix of supernatural horror, scifi and fun, bright characters
Thank you so so much! We honestly loved the movie - can safely say it’s nothing like any other movie we’ve seen before. Really enjoyed it and hoping for sequels!
This movie is based on the games and is full of lore but what you need to know is that yes he is dying but in death william becomes the entity known as Springtrap and he isn't one to mess with. The blond boy is known as Golden Freddy,he is a character that comes and goes as he pleases but he is an anamatronic like all the others just a bit more supernatural some how. This is a mix between the games and the books but still it's interesting and I also watched this not knowing anything about it for the first time. Grate reaction
Yeah there was a few suggestions towards the end of the film that it was lining up potential sequels - which we would be so here for! Springtrap will be so terrifying if they do make a sequel. So glad you enjoyed the reaction - we also knew nothing going into this but really enjoyed the film!
I love how they implemented RUclipsrs who influence the game’s popularity when it first came out… There a section with pictures of employee’s of the month and those are all RUclipsr pics, but the 2 who influenced the most on the popularity where actually given roles in the movie: -When the Aunt was with the other people at the diner, the one who attends them is MatPat from Game Theory and he focused a lot of his channel on making theories on the Five Nights at Freddy’s storyline and how all the games and lore tie together -The taxi driver who got Abby back to the diner along with Golden Freddy, that was CoryXKenshin and he was one of the first RUclipsr gamers who started the “Let’s Plays” on FNAF, which somewhat started the chain to more and more people getting interested in the games. -However, Markiplier was the most influential one with the popularity and I think he was going to be part of the film as the security guard that dies at the start, but I don’t remember why he wasn’t🤔
It was something to do with scheduling issues if I remember right. Like obviously Markiplier wanted to be included but he has a lot of responsibility. It is very likely he will be in the second in some way. I know they at least added him to the employee wall
Fun Fact: Michael Schmidt from The Movie and Michael Schmidt from The Games are entirely different people In the games- Instead of Vanessa, Mike is the one who is William’s Kid and it is theorized that almost the entirety the games- we play as him, trying to free the kids and make up for what he did in the past (which was accidentally killing his brother during a prank)
@@CoyzyMovieNight I was kinda iffy on the change at first but I got used to it. Michael was always like my favorite character from the games. The movie version overall just simplified Mike’s character and removed the more complicated parts of his story and makes him more understandable as a character so he’s a close second when it comes to my favorite iteration of the character.
@@Limitedprodigy002 Niamh here - I’m sooo glad to hear you were still happy even with the changes. Big Josh Hutcherson fan here lol so I loved his portrayal. But you’re definitely right, his character was written in a way that was quite heartbreaking and very easy to root for. I’m loving learning more about the original Mike though!
@@Limitedprodigy002 Technically, in the first game Mike wasn`t William`s son either, just a rando security guard you play as whilst trying to survive the nights Purge style. Scott retconned him to an Afton after it became clear after the first 4 Games William was gonna be the overarching antagonist, also in the Games Vanessa is the security guard at the Pizzaplex in "Help Wanted" and "Security Breach" who`s turned into a serial killing bunny girl called Vanny by the virus Glitchtrap who is not William but a digital mimic of his consciousness and bunny suit wearing, kid-killing, animatronic corrupting, immortality seeking ways. Scott didn`t know that the first game would take off to the extent it did so with the first two games he was basically winging it, it was around Game 3 and 4 the lore started to solidify. Then in "Sister Location" and "Security Breach" as well as the "Silver Eyes" novel and "Pizzeria Simulator", the focus was less on Afton/Purple Guy/Springbonnie/Springtrap and more on his innocent victims and the animatronics themselves who became less horror movie props and more fully fleshed out characters you feel for.
Also, all the animatronics were made by the Jim Henson Creature Shop who made the Muppets, Yoda and many other animatronics and puppets for films and shows over the years. The actors and crew could actually wear them. According to Matthew Lillard(Afton/Raglan), the Springtrap suit was very hot and he could barely see out of the animatronic`s eyeholes.
Okay, someone might have said these already but it's my favourite thing to talk about so: Five Nights at Freddys is a story encapsulated in multiple media types. The obvious is the nine games (I think), not including one big DLC and a new one that's coming out tomorrow!!! They form the main lore canon and are the main focus. Then, there are three novels, retelling the story, which take place in an almost alternate universe to the games, but present ideas and plot points that help guide players etc towards the story that happens in the games. They're sort of like clue manuals. Then there are two big sets of short stories which, again, aren't exactly canon to the games, but present more ideas! The movie takes plot points from both the novels and the games at an almost equal rate, I think, and it flips a few things around but still follows the core of the pizzaria, the haunted animatronics, the missing children incident(s) and William Afton, who is arguably the single static character other than the animatronics. Scott (the creator) likes reusing names for shits n giggles but they do have some relevance. Mike in the film and Mike in the games- not the same Mike, but both have complicated histories with little brothers. Vanessa in the games isn't Afton's daughter, BUT she is a brainwashed follower. My favourite parallel is how the families are switched around- in the games, there are two men who founded Freddy's. William was one, and he was the one with three children (two sons and a daughter, like Film!Mike's family). The other had one daughter, like Film!Afton! Idk what exactly that means yet but it's a fun little detail
Thanks so much for this! It was such an intriguing movie and there is still so much we don’t know - hopefully they make more movies and we can learn some more about exactly who is who in this version of the story.
@@CoyzyMovieNight I'm honestly so excited about all the places they could take this version of the story!!! I can't wait for the next one, this one brought together a little group of us to watch it (as we don't have stream access yet in the uk) and we're now planning regular online meetups to do fun fnaf related stuff, it's really been the highlight of my year 😁
Little bit about Vanessa, she doesn't appear in the franchise until the VR game, Help Wanted, where she's a Fazbear's employee who's mind is corrupted by a digital remnant of William Afton (it's... complicated) and assumes the persona of Vanny, and she wears a patchwork rabbit costume of her own making. She makes her full appearance in the next game, Security Breach, where she's a security guard and one of the big threats hunting the player, along with the animatronics, in both her Vanessa and Vanny personas. She's not William Afton's daughter in the games, though.
That’s so cool, I guess they took the idea that Vanessa had been corrupted by Afton in some way and ran with it? What a fun change to make. Did you enjoy the changes to her character?
@@CoyzyMovieNight It was interesting they introduced her so early in the films, and they might be going the Vanny route in a different way. She may be tormented by her memories of William as well as the Nightmare Animatronics (from FNAF 4), which completely warps her mind into her Vanny persona. Of course that's just a personal theory. There is another character, a sixth missing child, that was introduced in FNAF 2 and became hugely important in the seventh game, Pizzeria Simulator. She actually makes some hidden appearances in the film, obscured by the darkness (you have to brighten the image, something Scott Cawthon loves doing in his teasers for the games). She is Charlotte aka Charlie, the daughter of William's business partner Henry, who founded Fazbear's with William's help, and her soul possessed the Marionette, aka Puppet, after she was murdered by William. She is the one who put the souls into Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy (Cassidy and Golden Freddy came about in a different way). It's very likely Marionette will be in the second film, though whether it's Charlie possessing it or Mike's brother Garrett as a twist is a mystery. Yeah, FNAF has a metric ton of lore, and that was just the barest bones scraping the surface.
It’s definitely interesting watching people who have no experience with the series whatsoever try to piece together what’s happening, lol Tbh, us fnaf fans barely even know, as the movie takes place in a completely separate universe from the main game series and even the books, but it does have some similarities.
@@CoyzyMovieNight they are planning to do a trilogy, and if the second movie is going to be inspired by the second game, it is going to be a prequel, so prepare for lot of explainations and stuff in the second movie. For the third movie, if it is going to be inspired by the third game, it is going to be the grand finale (because the original three games were planned to be a solid trilogy, and scott always said that if he was going to do movies, he wanted to use the structure of the original three games, that are in order: 1st game in the middle, 2nd prequel and third sequel of the 1st).
Definitely check out the behind the scenes! They used practical effects! They were 2 sets of animatronics! One were actually life size animatronics that didn’t walk but performed, while the other were people in costume for when they were walking except for foxy! He was all animatronic! The company who made the Freddy gang were the same people who make the muppets, dark crystal and more!
FNAF is actually a fascinating story, and its still not over yet. You should watch some lore videos about it. I don't play the games but I have watched them all played, and I have the books.
You guys had such a great reaction to the film, the most entertaining by far! I love seeing people who aren't already fans of the games watch it, because you guys have such a fresh perspective on it. I think the reason some of the reveals didn't land as well too is because the focal point was the die hard fans, who know the story and details so well that it would be hard to make a genuine twist for them. Supposedly, the second one is going to focus more on horror than the first after criticism, so we may be getting a darker overall feel next time around! It's going to be a trilogy, will we be seeing reactions for the rest of it as well?
They're planning on making a trilogy of these movies, I honestly can't wait for the next two and can't wait to see how they'll handle translating certain characters into practical costumes and animatronics because some of them are gonna be pretty hard to make
my favorite reactions to this film are people who know absolutely nothing, its always 10x more fun watching others try and piece together the story lol as a longtime fnaf fan, i really enjoyed this movie. it felt surreal seeing the franchise ive loved for years on the big screen. although the story is quite different from the original lore, its always great seeing new adaptions of things. this movie really catered to the fans, with all its references. my personal favorite was matpat, a theorist youtuber who has spent a ton of his years theorizing this game and piecing together the lore. if you ever want to know more of the lore, matpat is the go-to guy. he played the waiter in the resturant scene, and even said his signature line "thats just a theory". he recently retired from his theory channels, however. i loved ur guys reactions, the confusion and speculation the entire movie was golden lmao😭 u guys actually understood well for being completely blind, most blind reactions i watch get alot of things wrong-which is completely understandable because this story is just plain complicated. if u guys are going to react to the next two movies, i absolutely cant wait for them!! amazing reactions, once again:D
If I could do a screen adaptation to a horror game, I'd like to make a bendy screen adaptation. If you don't know, the bendy series focuses on Joey Drew Studios, a fictional animation studio run by Joey Drew, which was responsible for numerous popular characters such as Bendy and his friends. The plot revolves around the Ink Machine, a mysterious machine created by Drew and the Gent Corporation in order to create living cartoons, which were created from the souls of Drew's employees, and is responsible for a time loop day world called the Cycle. Each game has different protagonist trying to survive and free themselves from the horrors in the ink realm and against ink monsters such as The Ink Demon. The series is also set in retro times (specifically the 1,960's to1,970's). One of the things that make bendy unique (at least if you ask me) is it's artstyle (especially the one in the cycle) that has everything look like an old cartoon. It's basically a horror version of toonstruck. Compared to fnaf, the bendy games are more straight forward in terms of storytelling. It has mysteries, but not ones that always leave speculation. I think it should be a TV series due to the game being longer and it should start by adapting the original bendy and the ink machine. Compared to fnaf, I would want to have it to appel to both critics and audiences (including fans). I also thought of who some of the cast and crew should be. For example I would have themeatly as both an overseer and screenwriter (with him reprising his roles as much he could get like with wally franks), mike mood as overseer and Thomas Connor, bookpast as screenwriter and jack fain, Ralph Bakshi as director, Melanie Martinez as composer, J.K. Simmons as Joey Drew, Angelina Jolie as twisted Alice/Susie Campbell, daisy Ridley as Alison Angel, Sean crisden as the voice of the ink demon, dane Boedigheiner as the voice of cartoon bendy, William Alexander Ryan as grant Cohen and maybe the voice of cartoon Boris and/or barley, Lauren Synger as the voice of cartoon alice, nat faxton as charlie, John Meissner as the voice of piper, Mat Brunetas the voice of fisher, Gary McClenaghan as the voice of striker, Owen Dennis, Matt Braly, Dana Terrence, and Cooper Smith Goodwin as producers and possibly other roles and various Hollywood celebrities such as Chris Pratt, will Smith, Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, jack black and more as various lost ones. I also would want the series to be R rated and be far more scarier compared to the fnaf film with its moments of humor coming from the things the characters would actually say/do an fitting their personality. I would also want it to be as least practical as possible to reflect the nature of the cycle, with it's animation bearing similarities to the upcoming "IF" movie, the live action book adapted film: "Lyle Lyle Crocodile" and the 2005 version of king Kong. With the ink demon at first portrayed as an animalistic Jason Voorhees/michael Myers type villain.
I think we would both love to do some game playthroughs etc. eventually. So far our main focus is on movies/tv shows but if we ever manage to get to gaming FNAF will definitely be one to try!
Notice how the car that William took Garrett in had no license plate it was planned it wasn’t just a random act and in the tape Mike watched in the background there’s the founder who looks a lot like mikes father from the dream and in the games William is the founder with his best friend Henry and in the games he kidnapped his coworker’s child there is a much bigger connect between Mike’s family and William
You should do a reaction on the FNAF (five nights at Freddy’s) lore, gives you a deep dive into the back story and everything and just helps you understand a little more. It is quite hard to know what’s happening if you haven’t played the games or watched RUclipsrs play it. But definitely do a lore dive it clears a lot of things up :)
As me a hard core fnaf fan know all the lore watch all the game theory video I just love seeing new people not knowing anything about fnaf and figuring out the dark lore😂
So I don't know if you guys will read this, But the dog animatronic was not supposed to be one of the core rosters of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. It originates from a fan Theory where someone found a dog animatronic in the game, Which was later proven to be false.
I heard your accents and clicked subscribe so fast!🙃 I also watched your reaction and enjoyed it! 😎 I cannot wait for your future reactions.💚❤ If you two are interested to know more about the lore check out MatPat's Game Theory FNAF timeline, it is separated into 4 part videos. He has lots and lots of older videos on FNAF theory too. You can also learn theories and watch playthroughs from John aka Fuhnaff. Fair warning though the rabbit hole is extremely deep with this franchise, but actually totally worth it.😅
Ah haha thanks so much! Céad míle fáilte romhat, welcome to the channel! We have been actually so amazed by just how much lore there is out there for what is a relatively new franchise, I mean the first game only came out in 2014 - and already it's like there's so much knowledge out there about it
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
The great thing about this movie is that the actual creator of the games wrote the screenplay so everything shown in the movie has a legit and a great explanation behind it.
Oh wow, did not know that! That's so cool - you can really tell that the film was a real labour of love from all involved.
@@CoyzyMovieNight The reason why he wasn't dead yet at the end of the movie was because being springlocked is a very slow death. even in the games he died slowly
It has probably been days since the springlock failure. or a week.
@@Zack-ary that’s terrifying… and quite fitting haha
@@Zack-ary According to the teacher, it's been a few weeks.
Fun fact: The Blonde kid is the only one of the 5 MCI(Missing Children Incident) victims who never forgot what William Afton did to him, thats why you never see him attack Mike. He is the one possessing Golden Freddy (the broken yellow bear with a glowing blue eye that took a taxi ride with Abby) and part of what happened at the end was planned, he KNEW William Afton would come so he manipulated all that to happen so they could remember and turn agaisnt him.
In the games the spirit of Golden Freddy is described as "The one you should not have killed" or "The vengeful spirit", symbolizing he is the one who most suffered and felt most anger for William Afton, he won't let him die, he will make William suffer a third of what he suffered
When editing the reaction, I realised that was a completely different bear. Totally missed that first time round 😂What an interesting character. Thank you for sharing, we love learning more about this world!
We don't know that the blonde kid in the movie canon never forgot, it's never shown or said in the movie. It begs the question as to why he didn't kill William beforehand or why he didn't tell the others, or even why he didn't try to torment William since being more ghost like he can leave the pizzaria. I don't think Scott would leave that in as a plot hole, so the only explanation I can think of is either he doesn't remember anything more than the others (Remember he's in the drawing of the kids and William too, including if I remember correctly the drawing that Abby made to help them remember) or he was the one that was the most manipulated by William, which I do feel like he manipulated him the most either way. The ending scene with him and William really screams to me 'This kid knows what you've done to him now, and he isn't looking to forgive you anytime soon'
The kids' names are Cassidy (Golden Freddy), Gabriel (Freddy), Jremy (Bonnie), Susie (Chica), and Fritz (Foxy). There's also a six child, one who like Cassidy is VERY important to the lore, and who we may see in the second movie.
Sadly we don't know if their names are the same as they are the games in the movie canon, but yeah those are their names in the game canon ^^
@@lunabruce1804 also it is widely accepted that Cassidy in a girl with black hair in the games continuity
Fun Fact: The song in the credits was made by the fans!
Specifically Living Tombstone, like 8 years ago.
Also yes, there is gonna be a sequel, its actually planned to be a trilogy!
This movie feels like such a labour of love, really reaching out to the fans with little easter eggs throughout, even in the end credits. That’s so cool
@@CoyzyMovieNight Yup! :D
@@CoyzyMovieNightalso right here 14:27 when you were watching, the waiter was actually popular RUclipsr Matpat from game theory, it’s sad that he’s retiring (also I don’t know if you already knew that it was him)
Fun fact: the beginning scene with the 8-bit characters was showing how William Afton killed the kids one by one
Omg no way! I have to go back and watch that, so cool. Thank you for letting us know!
There's a theory that the cupcake is also possessed by a dog that was owned by the little girl who I'd possessing Chica, they both died together by William, thus why the Cupcake is more attackish
Ahhh yes the cupcake gives protective, guard dog vibes. I really like that theory
I believe it was shown in Pizza Simulator (FNAF 6) during an arcade game that William lured Susie to where he had killed her dog. Then he said "He's not dead. He is right here" before taking her life. In the lore Susie was the first child of the 5 to be killed by him.
FNAF UCN Chica voice: I was the first. I have seen *everything*
its so cool seeing a channel responding to everyone in the comments, its quite rare to see that
Also im super happy that yall liked the movie, it was a crazy experience seeing in the cinema as a fnaf fan myself, fnaf has so much lore and the film did a good job showing the important parts
And Hi from Brazil lol sorry for my bad english
It was a brilliant introduction to the FNAF universe, we had so much fun trying to figure out what was happening. Your english is wonderful and thank you! We love movies so much, so we enjoy chatting about the movie with you guys! We appreciate your comment, thank you ❤️
so here's a little explaination of some things u might be confused abt if ur not a fan of this franshise:
there are 5 children, 4 of them are freddy, bonnie, chica, foxy but the 5th (the blonde boy) is a more powerful spirit, he's posessing the yellowish bear we see visiting mike's house, the game files just called him "the yellow bear" and in the games he outright just teleports when ur not looking at him, he's more supernatural than the others who are limited by their robotics.
now let's talk about matthew lillard's character: "steve raglan" aka william afton!! basically he is this franshise's darth vader or voldemort. a very interesting character that sadly only gets touched on a bit, they don't explore his motives but he does have a few, the idea that this owner who started loving briging joy to kids and bring things to life, only to use that joy against them robbing them of their lives.
also that last scene was him becoming one of them, it's kind of his obession, one that comes with the price of suffering but he does always come back (famous line of his from the games, fans freaked out when they heard it)
So the Yellow bear is actually called Golden Freddy. He is VERY important to the lore and was basically the character who kick-started the entire story. He used to be called Fredbear, and he performed right alongside Springbonnie, aka the Yellow Rabbit.
@@jakeblitzcoffie4859 i know i just dont wanna tell them EVERYTHING lol
Thank you for this! I appreciate the explanation of the blonde boy, he was definitely a mystery for us 😂 the last scene was chilling, I can't wait to see more of this franchise
I loved your reaction! I am a fan of FNAF due to being a security guard IRL and also due to the story behind the creation of the games. Scott Cawthon was an indy game developer who didn't have a whole lot of success early in his career. That changed thanks to a rather cruel but accurate review a critic made of one of his games that described the characters as being "unintentionally horrifying" and "moving like broken animatronics". Scott was discouraged by this at first, but was later inspired to turn the weakness of that game into a strength by making a horror game about animatronics, thus beginning the FNAF series, which made Scott Cawthon a household name among horror game fans. It's the ultimate real-life example of the saying "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!"
I especially enjoyed the movie as well, both due to the supurb acting (I was already a fan of Matthew Lillard from the live-action "Scooby-Doo" movies and of Mary Stuart Masterson from a movie called "Fried Green Tomatoes") and visuals and due to the reference to Nebraska (my home state).
Thank you so much! That's so cool how that criticism gave him the inspiration for what's become a huge franchise of games! We really enjoyed the movie too, hoping they make some more haha
I used to be a security guard for 18 years, and used to have to patrol dark warehouses and engineering rooms. I'm SO thankful FNAF wasn't around back then 😂
This is definitely my favourite reaction to this film, I loved all the speculation going on lol. Alot could've been changed for me as a fan but it was an all round alright adaptation, one main thing I feel like could've been changed would've been garret being kidnapped at freddys like the other kids rather than just being kidnapped at some random camp in nebraska, but maybe that would've made the story a bit too complicated somehow? Either way I enjoyed this, good video :)
This means a lot, thank you ❤ it’s always so hard seeing things you love being adapted, I’m glad to hear you were still pretty happy with it. Learning about the lore from all of these comments has been so much fun for us!!
Maybe, but him being kidnapped at Freddy's would get rid of the entire plot-point of Mike knowing nothing about the Pizzeria and the Animatronics. My belief is that Garret was William's first ever victim, either before he even opened Freddy's or before he decided to make the Pizzeria his hunting ground. He could have saw Garret and his family having the 'perfect holiday' in the woods and it made him snap, since we know his family is far from perfect. That is my headcanon.
If you didn’t understand what happened at the end, one of the souls of the animatronics, we’re looking at William Afton suffering in his suit
Yes we were definitely confused by the identity of that kid at the time of watching! Thank you for commenting 😊
the dog animatronic is a reference to an early hoax/fake image that came out around when the first game came out, his name is sparky the dog and he was created by someone random just to trick people back in 2014 lol. the name of the diner that the aunt and max talk at is also called sparky's as a reference. a lot of people have theorized that sparky is going to become hank, aka the burglar that got killed by bonnie in the closet, since his body was right next to that animatronic.
That’s actually brilliant 😂 I’m sure fans of the game freaked out at that reference
Would love to see you guys react to the game lore. The Fnaf Ultimate Timeline and Fnaf everything you need to know videos would be good videos to get into the lore of the series. Trust me, there is a TON of lore. The movie only touches on the basics of the 1st game. There are many many games in the series now, and many books as well. It's always nice to see people get into Fnaf for the first time. The sheer amount of references to the books and games this movie has is wild, but you'll only catch them once you know about the game and book lore. There are also 2 RUclipsr cameos in this movie as well. Love the reaction!
Thank you so much! I'm sure we missed so many references 😂 but we had so much fun
By the way he put on the mask because he knew that he will posess the suit after he dies. The Movie has scenes taken out of the books so there might be 3 movies like there is 3 books. The silver eyes, The twisted ones, and The fourth closet
“I always come back” - loved it, hopefully they will make movie sequels 😊
They will. Second Movie is coming out on 5th of december 2025. And a third Movie in confirmt. (Sorry for my Bad englisch. In from German and only 14.)
As a longtime fan (FNAF is my special interest) this reaction was so lovely to see!!! It's so fun seeing interpretation from outside the fandom, I hope you get the chance to explore more of the lore! It's a goofy, fun and creepy mix of supernatural horror, scifi and fun, bright characters
Thank you so so much! We honestly loved the movie - can safely say it’s nothing like any other movie we’ve seen before. Really enjoyed it and hoping for sequels!
It's only supernatural not scifi
This movie is based on the games and is full of lore but what you need to know is that yes he is dying but in death william becomes the entity known as Springtrap and he isn't one to mess with. The blond boy is known as Golden Freddy,he is a character that comes and goes as he pleases but he is an anamatronic like all the others just a bit more supernatural some how. This is a mix between the games and the books but still it's interesting and I also watched this not knowing anything about it for the first time. Grate reaction
Yeah there was a few suggestions towards the end of the film that it was lining up potential sequels - which we would be so here for! Springtrap will be so terrifying if they do make a sequel.
So glad you enjoyed the reaction - we also knew nothing going into this but really enjoyed the film!
I love how they implemented RUclipsrs who influence the game’s popularity when it first came out…
There a section with pictures of employee’s of the month and those are all RUclipsr pics, but the 2 who influenced the most on the popularity where actually given roles in the movie:
-When the Aunt was with the other people at the diner, the one who attends them is MatPat from Game Theory and he focused a lot of his channel on making theories on the Five Nights at Freddy’s storyline and how all the games and lore tie together
-The taxi driver who got Abby back to the diner along with Golden Freddy, that was CoryXKenshin and he was one of the first RUclipsr gamers who started the “Let’s Plays” on FNAF, which somewhat started the chain to more and more people getting interested in the games.
-However, Markiplier was the most influential one with the popularity and I think he was going to be part of the film as the security guard that dies at the start, but I don’t remember why he wasn’t🤔
It was something to do with scheduling issues if I remember right. Like obviously Markiplier wanted to be included but he has a lot of responsibility. It is very likely he will be in the second in some way. I know they at least added him to the employee wall
I really enjoyed your guy's reaction for not knowing much about the games. Glad you enjoyed it and were able to piece it up well at the end!!
Thanks so much! We really enjoyed trying to figure out what was happening, that always makes a movie more fun haha
At the end, the blonde child is the spirit of the yellow bear, aka, golden Freddy. Not Williams past self.
Thanks! We are learning we promise! Golden Freddy has a more supernatural nature than the others is that right?
@@CoyzyMovieNight yes
@@CoyzyMovieNight definitely, don't wanna mess with him
Fun Fact: Michael Schmidt from The Movie and Michael Schmidt from The Games are entirely different people
In the games- Instead of Vanessa, Mike is the one who is William’s Kid and it is theorized that almost the entirety the games- we play as him, trying to free the kids and make up for what he did in the past (which was accidentally killing his brother during a prank)
Wow! That would definitely be a whole different context for the movie! What do you make of the change?
@@CoyzyMovieNight I was kinda iffy on the change at first but I got used to it. Michael was always like my favorite character from the games. The movie version overall just simplified Mike’s character and removed the more complicated parts of his story and makes him more understandable as a character so he’s a close second when it comes to my favorite iteration of the character.
@@Limitedprodigy002 Niamh here - I’m sooo glad to hear you were still happy even with the changes. Big Josh Hutcherson fan here lol so I loved his portrayal. But you’re definitely right, his character was written in a way that was quite heartbreaking and very easy to root for. I’m loving learning more about the original Mike though!
@@Limitedprodigy002 Technically, in the first game Mike wasn`t William`s son either, just a rando security guard you play as whilst trying to survive the nights Purge style. Scott retconned him to an Afton after it became clear after the first 4 Games William was gonna be the overarching antagonist, also in the Games Vanessa is the security guard at the Pizzaplex in "Help Wanted" and "Security Breach" who`s turned into a serial killing bunny girl called Vanny by the virus Glitchtrap who is not William but a digital mimic of his consciousness and bunny suit wearing, kid-killing, animatronic corrupting, immortality seeking ways. Scott didn`t know that the first game would take off to the extent it did so with the first two games he was basically winging it, it was around Game 3 and 4 the lore started to solidify. Then in "Sister Location" and "Security Breach" as well as the "Silver Eyes" novel and "Pizzeria Simulator", the focus was less on Afton/Purple Guy/Springbonnie/Springtrap and more on his innocent victims and the animatronics themselves who became less horror movie props and more fully fleshed out characters you feel for.
Also, all the animatronics were made by the Jim Henson Creature Shop who made the Muppets, Yoda and many other animatronics and puppets for films and shows over the years. The actors and crew could actually wear them. According to Matthew Lillard(Afton/Raglan), the Springtrap suit was very hot and he could barely see out of the animatronic`s eyeholes.
The dog animatronic suit is an old fnaf hoax from the very first game named sparky and has been added for the fans
Okay, someone might have said these already but it's my favourite thing to talk about so:
Five Nights at Freddys is a story encapsulated in multiple media types. The obvious is the nine games (I think), not including one big DLC and a new one that's coming out tomorrow!!! They form the main lore canon and are the main focus. Then, there are three novels, retelling the story, which take place in an almost alternate universe to the games, but present ideas and plot points that help guide players etc towards the story that happens in the games. They're sort of like clue manuals. Then there are two big sets of short stories which, again, aren't exactly canon to the games, but present more ideas!
The movie takes plot points from both the novels and the games at an almost equal rate, I think, and it flips a few things around but still follows the core of the pizzaria, the haunted animatronics, the missing children incident(s) and William Afton, who is arguably the single static character other than the animatronics.
Scott (the creator) likes reusing names for shits n giggles but they do have some relevance. Mike in the film and Mike in the games- not the same Mike, but both have complicated histories with little brothers. Vanessa in the games isn't Afton's daughter, BUT she is a brainwashed follower.
My favourite parallel is how the families are switched around- in the games, there are two men who founded Freddy's. William was one, and he was the one with three children (two sons and a daughter, like Film!Mike's family). The other had one daughter, like Film!Afton! Idk what exactly that means yet but it's a fun little detail
Thanks so much for this! It was such an intriguing movie and there is still so much we don’t know - hopefully they make more movies and we can learn some more about exactly who is who in this version of the story.
@@CoyzyMovieNight I'm honestly so excited about all the places they could take this version of the story!!! I can't wait for the next one, this one brought together a little group of us to watch it (as we don't have stream access yet in the uk) and we're now planning regular online meetups to do fun fnaf related stuff, it's really been the highlight of my year 😁
@@gracedolan6662 movies bring people together in the best way, that’s why we love them ❤️
Little bit about Vanessa, she doesn't appear in the franchise until the VR game, Help Wanted, where she's a Fazbear's employee who's mind is corrupted by a digital remnant of William Afton (it's... complicated) and assumes the persona of Vanny, and she wears a patchwork rabbit costume of her own making. She makes her full appearance in the next game, Security Breach, where she's a security guard and one of the big threats hunting the player, along with the animatronics, in both her Vanessa and Vanny personas. She's not William Afton's daughter in the games, though.
That’s so cool, I guess they took the idea that Vanessa had been corrupted by Afton in some way and ran with it? What a fun change to make. Did you enjoy the changes to her character?
@@CoyzyMovieNight It was interesting they introduced her so early in the films, and they might be going the Vanny route in a different way. She may be tormented by her memories of William as well as the Nightmare Animatronics (from FNAF 4), which completely warps her mind into her Vanny persona. Of course that's just a personal theory.
There is another character, a sixth missing child, that was introduced in FNAF 2 and became hugely important in the seventh game, Pizzeria Simulator. She actually makes some hidden appearances in the film, obscured by the darkness (you have to brighten the image, something Scott Cawthon loves doing in his teasers for the games). She is Charlotte aka Charlie, the daughter of William's business partner Henry, who founded Fazbear's with William's help, and her soul possessed the Marionette, aka Puppet, after she was murdered by William. She is the one who put the souls into Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy (Cassidy and Golden Freddy came about in a different way). It's very likely Marionette will be in the second film, though whether it's Charlie possessing it or Mike's brother Garrett as a twist is a mystery.
Yeah, FNAF has a metric ton of lore, and that was just the barest bones scraping the surface.
@CoyzyMovieNight i enjoyed the change. It was a very clever mix of "Afton manipulates his kids" and "Vanessa is corrupted by Afton's spirit"
It’s definitely interesting watching people who have no experience with the series whatsoever try to piece together what’s happening, lol
Tbh, us fnaf fans barely even know, as the movie takes place in a completely separate universe from the main game series and even the books, but it does have some similarities.
It was soooo good! We really enjoyed it but yeah it was a lot to get our heads around. Hopefully we can learn more before the (hopefully) sequels...
@@CoyzyMovieNight they are planning to do a trilogy, and if the second movie is going to be inspired by the second game, it is going to be a prequel, so prepare for lot of explainations and stuff in the second movie. For the third movie, if it is going to be inspired by the third game, it is going to be the grand finale (because the original three games were planned to be a solid trilogy, and scott always said that if he was going to do movies, he wanted to use the structure of the original three games, that are in order: 1st game in the middle, 2nd prequel and third sequel of the 1st).
@@rinchface5410 can’t wait for this!
Definitely check out the behind the scenes! They used practical effects! They were 2 sets of animatronics! One were actually life size animatronics that didn’t walk but performed, while the other were people in costume for when they were walking except for foxy! He was all animatronic! The company who made the Freddy gang were the same people who make the muppets, dark crystal and more!
36:58 that's not freddy thats golden freddy/Fredbear thats the animatronic Cassady (the blond kids) possess
Yeah that was something that we were glad that people have explained to us in the comments. He seems a particularly interesting character
FNAF is actually a fascinating story, and its still not over yet. You should watch some lore videos about it. I don't play the games but I have watched them all played, and I have the books.
You guys had such a great reaction to the film, the most entertaining by far! I love seeing people who aren't already fans of the games watch it, because you guys have such a fresh perspective on it. I think the reason some of the reveals didn't land as well too is because the focal point was the die hard fans, who know the story and details so well that it would be hard to make a genuine twist for them. Supposedly, the second one is going to focus more on horror than the first after criticism, so we may be getting a darker overall feel next time around!
It's going to be a trilogy, will we be seeing reactions for the rest of it as well?
We will definitely be reacting to any future installments! We loved this movie, can’t wait to see more 💙
@@CoyzyMovieNight the cupcakes Canon name is Karl
@@CoyzyMovieNight I always come back
They're planning on making a trilogy of these movies, I honestly can't wait for the next two and can't wait to see how they'll handle translating certain characters into practical costumes and animatronics because some of them are gonna be pretty hard to make
my favorite reactions to this film are people who know absolutely nothing, its always 10x more fun watching others try and piece together the story lol
as a longtime fnaf fan, i really enjoyed this movie. it felt surreal seeing the franchise ive loved for years on the big screen. although the story is quite different from the original lore, its always great seeing new adaptions of things. this movie really catered to the fans, with all its references. my personal favorite was matpat, a theorist youtuber who has spent a ton of his years theorizing this game and piecing together the lore. if you ever want to know more of the lore, matpat is the go-to guy. he played the waiter in the resturant scene, and even said his signature line "thats just a theory". he recently retired from his theory channels, however.
i loved ur guys reactions, the confusion and speculation the entire movie was golden lmao😭 u guys actually understood well for being completely blind, most blind reactions i watch get alot of things wrong-which is completely understandable because this story is just plain complicated. if u guys are going to react to the next two movies, i absolutely cant wait for them!! amazing reactions, once again:D
If I could do a screen adaptation to a horror game, I'd like to make a bendy screen adaptation. If you don't know, the bendy series focuses on Joey Drew Studios, a fictional animation studio run by Joey Drew, which was responsible for numerous popular characters such as Bendy and his friends. The plot revolves around the Ink Machine, a mysterious machine created by Drew and the Gent Corporation in order to create living cartoons, which were created from the souls of Drew's employees, and is responsible for a time loop day world called the Cycle. Each game has different protagonist trying to survive and free themselves from the horrors in the ink realm and against ink monsters such as The Ink Demon. The series is also set in retro times (specifically the 1,960's to1,970's). One of the things that make bendy unique (at least if you ask me) is it's artstyle (especially the one in the cycle) that has everything look like an old cartoon. It's basically a horror version of toonstruck. Compared to fnaf, the bendy games are more straight forward in terms of storytelling. It has mysteries, but not ones that always leave speculation. I think it should be a TV series due to the game being longer and it should start by adapting the original bendy and the ink machine. Compared to fnaf, I would want to have it to appel to both critics and audiences (including fans). I also thought of who some of the cast and crew should be. For example I would have themeatly as both an overseer and screenwriter (with him reprising his roles as much he could get like with wally franks), mike mood as overseer and Thomas Connor, bookpast as screenwriter and jack fain, Ralph Bakshi as director, Melanie Martinez as composer, J.K. Simmons as Joey Drew, Angelina Jolie as twisted Alice/Susie Campbell, daisy Ridley as Alison Angel, Sean crisden as the voice of the ink demon, dane Boedigheiner as the voice of cartoon bendy, William Alexander Ryan as grant Cohen and maybe the voice of cartoon Boris and/or barley, Lauren Synger as the voice of cartoon alice, nat faxton as charlie, John Meissner as the voice of piper, Mat Brunetas the voice of fisher, Gary McClenaghan as the voice of striker, Owen Dennis, Matt Braly, Dana Terrence, and Cooper Smith Goodwin as producers and possibly other roles and various Hollywood celebrities such as Chris Pratt, will Smith, Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, jack black and more as various lost ones. I also would want the series to be R rated and be far more scarier compared to the fnaf film with its moments of humor coming from the things the characters would actually say/do an fitting their personality. I would also want it to be as least practical as possible to reflect the nature of the cycle, with it's animation bearing similarities to the upcoming "IF" movie, the live action book adapted film: "Lyle Lyle Crocodile" and the 2005 version of king Kong. With the ink demon at first portrayed as an animalistic Jason Voorhees/michael Myers type villain.
Sounds so cool - def would watch!
I dont know if you do video game requests for this channel, but the original FNAF 1 (2014) would be fun to see now that youve watched the movie.
I think we would both love to do some game playthroughs etc. eventually. So far our main focus is on movies/tv shows but if we ever manage to get to gaming FNAF will definitely be one to try!
MUUUUSIC MAN (Matpat 2021)
😂
Something you should know about william is he always comes back.
Seriously he really doesn't die he is determined
Notice how the car that William took Garrett in had no license plate it was planned it wasn’t just a random act and in the tape Mike watched in the background there’s the founder who looks a lot like mikes father from the dream and in the games William is the founder with his best friend Henry and in the games he kidnapped his coworker’s child there is a much bigger connect between Mike’s family and William
You should do a reaction on the FNAF (five nights at Freddy’s) lore, gives you a deep dive into the back story and everything and just helps you understand a little more. It is quite hard to know what’s happening if you haven’t played the games or watched RUclipsrs play it. But definitely do a lore dive it clears a lot of things up :)
0:41 “was it a creepy teddy bear?” “Yeeaah” 🤣 excited for this reaction
As me a hard core fnaf fan know all the lore watch all the game theory video I just love seeing new people not knowing anything about fnaf and figuring out the dark lore😂
Could you do a reaction to Game theory's full timeline video?
The lady reactor sounds like Merida from the Disney Pixar film Brave. When she is scared.
Glad you enjoyed it
So I don't know if you guys will read this, But the dog animatronic was not supposed to be one of the core rosters of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. It originates from a fan Theory where someone found a dog animatronic in the game, Which was later proven to be false.
Oh thats such an interesting easter egg!
Hello, have you seen the movie Tarzan The Fearless?
We haven't, maybe one to add to the list?
@@CoyzyMovieNight yes, it could be
Chica the chicken
It’s literally in the name ahahahhaa I’m dying
I heard your accents and clicked subscribe so fast!🙃 I also watched your reaction and enjoyed it! 😎 I cannot wait for your future reactions.💚❤
If you two are interested to know more about the lore check out MatPat's Game Theory FNAF timeline, it is separated into 4 part videos. He has lots and lots of older videos on FNAF theory too. You can also learn theories and watch playthroughs from John aka Fuhnaff.
Fair warning though the rabbit hole is extremely deep with this franchise, but actually totally worth it.😅
Ah haha thanks so much! Céad míle fáilte romhat, welcome to the channel! We have been actually so amazed by just how much lore there is out there for what is a relatively new franchise, I mean the first game only came out in 2014 - and already it's like there's so much knowledge out there about it
Chica is a chicken not a duck
Yes we're not the most observant sometimes haha
There's a movie called Haywire with an MMA fighter named Gina Carano
Thanks so much for the suggestion! we've got loads more movie reactions lined up!
The movie isnt cannon to the games btw since they changed eveyrthing if you play the games then you understand what happened
Why is Vanessa in this franchise?
nice
play the FNAF Games to know about the law or the Movie.
Please don't get offended.
but my guy looks like a Mii
😂😂😂
I don't think you know what fnaf is and chica is a chicken not a duck just to let you know
We went into this reaction knowing basically nothing about the lore - but thanks yes we did realise eventually Chica is a chicken, not a duck haha
OK thanks
