Chuck E. Cheese's

The animatronics of the Concept Unification 3-Stage shows we originally the Rock-afire Explosion characters from Showbiz Pizza.

Here's the list of the characters that became the Chuck E. Cheese's animatronic we know now

*Rolf DeWolf - Chuck E. Cheese
*Mitiz Mozzarella - Helen Henny
*Fatz Geronimo - Mr. Munch
*Beach Bear - Jasper T. Jowls (at some CEC location Jasper still used Beach Bear's guitar)
*Dook LaRue - Pasqually

My only gripe with the Concept Unification 3-Stage is that the Jasper animatronic was sitting on a plain metal can and the now-defunct Munch Jr. animatronic was in just a plain metal can. Why didn't Chuck E. Cheese's jazzed up Jasper and Munch Jr.'s cans during CU?

Because The MMBB was supposed to be a "Rooftop Band", ie the Building and sky background, so various metal vents and structures fits in with it.
Beach Bear sat on a stump because the RAE was in the forest.

I didn't know that Munch's Make Believe Band was supposed to be on the roof of a building. I thought that MMBB was supposed to be in the city on the streets with metal "trash" cans for Jasper and Munch Jr.

I see their latest TV ads are pitching upscale "adult" menu items for the moms.

I think that some Chuck E. Cheese's replaced their classic Skytubes playground with a carnival style fun house that you pay to get in there.

Yep, it's a new concept they are testing out. Some stores replace the SkyCrawl with the Fun House, Bumper Cars, or a new challenge involving a laser maze. (Simply put, 40 years of cleaning those tubes might do something to someone)

Yeah, the SkyTubes were pretty a maintenance nightmare for Chuck E. Cheese's workers who have clean the playground on a daily basis. It could have been worse if Chuck E. Cheese still had ball pits in addition to SkyTubes playgrounds.

Oh I forgot, happy 40th anniversary to Chuck E. Cheese's!

Chuck E. Cheese's has a location inside the Janesville Mall in Janesville, Wisconsin.

Chuck E. Cheese's is getting rid of their animatronic possibly to cut back on store maintenance. After 40 years, Chuck E. Cheese's is getting rid of the one thing that set it apart from being just another pizzeria arcade kids party house. But they're still going to have the costumed Chuck E. walkaround doing shows and videos as well. :mad:

It's a shame that the animatronics are victims of being vandalized by unruly guests. :'(

The Chuck E. Cheese's mascot's full name is Charles Entertainment Cheese.

In Australia, Chuck E. Cheese was known as Charlie Cheese due to the word "chuck" being Australian slang for puke.

Pretty much all of the "Pizza Time Players" have been retired except for our main mouse Chuck E. Cheese.
