"These animatronics were built by an imagineer" Well that explains the movement. Disney imagineers are awesome

Having a full sized animatronic in my house would scare the crap out of me at night 😂 no way

I swear I nearly cry whenever these poor, abandoned animatronics get a happy new life with hard-working, dedicated people willing to put in the effort to fix them.

Thr last story made me tear up, the fact that she is trying to buy the rights to the characters is phenomenal! I'm so glad people like that, with burning passion and love for something, exist

Seeing these robots being restored and given new life makes me wanna cry with joy. I am so proud of these kind folks. They keep part of my childhood alive!

Incredibly impressed with Jared and his Kings. I absolutely love the idea of humans and animatronics in a band together.

Being a casual fnaf lore enjoyer, and learning about the actual history of the Chuck.E Cheese, makes me realize how much it resembles the core of fnaf main characters Henry Emily and William Afton, and it’s makes it so much more fascinating. Maybe in a world we’re this business didn’t get bad, and instead the world loved the animatronics, who can say fnaf’s weird universe can’t exist tbh? Loved the video, these people are amazing!!

I don’t find The King scary but everyone else’s designs creep me out haha. Really cool that these people save these relics from the past tho!

I knew that jared was dedicated by the fact that he owns 4 of the same animatronic each with it's own personality that he's given them with his own custom showtapes made for the once obsolete, defunct animatronics, but i didnt know he was THAT dedicated, to the point of learning how to sew, program and sing purely just so he could see his beloved childhood animatronic perform again. That's incredible

I happen to know Andrea (CavitySam) very well. In addition to be an animatronics collector, she's also a costume/fursuit maker as well as an artist. Her work is absolutely amazing! I do wish her the best of luck on obtaining the rights to Circus Playhouse.

Imagine just driving to work one day and seeing a king animatronic just chilling next to the driver lmfao

What I love how about these 3 people/channels is they treat the animatronics like fellow living beings. They take care of them, keep them in safe conditions, and fix their injuries (repair/replace what's necessary), despite how costly it can be

This is really inspiring. Jared did not know how to sew, program, or sing. But he taught himself and has an awesome animatronic show. And the animatronics look better than new. I couldn’t even sew a mask when covid started 🤣. The other restorations look great, but...the characters look creepy. I’m sorry 😖.

There is a King animatronic at Jungle Jim’s in Ohio that needs to be rescued and restored. Somebody pass along the message! It barely moves now. Edit: it appears the King is in working order according to another poster, what great news!

I feel really lucky to still be able to enjoy an original Rock-A-Fire Explosion show (although it’s getting pretty run down now) within 20 minutes of me! Feels like such an awesome piece of history to have a Billy Bob’s to be able to still enjoy.

I love the, "Please, deposit five coins." line.

Imagine walking outside to see your neighbor taking apart 6 feet animatronics or just waking up to hear loud noises of them💀

Absolutely 👑KINGTASTIC👑! Andrea is AMAZING in not just restoring, but recreating!! And what an amazing passion Connor has! The bots shall live on 👑👑👑🤖🕺🏻👍🏻

Ever since I got into FNAF, I’ve been recommended these kind of videos. They’re really cool! These people are magical, I can’t even imagine how much skill this must take, let alone making parts from scratch!

Now I know what inspired fnaf, I mean all of this pretty much is how fnaf was made. These old animatronics is basically an inspiration to the withered animatronics, the new made animatronics are like a reference to all the more advance animatronics in fnaf like the toys or funtimes. And the fact that these locations get abandoned or left to rot is really sad, it’s like a inspiration to all the fnaf games that have animatronics being abandoned, burned, or just scrapped. I feel bad for these animatronics and the fnaf game kinds

Genuine, vintage, 1970s human, here! I was absolutely besotted with "The King" animatronic, as a little girl! I already loved Elvis's music, and I loved lions and cats, so I enjoyed that character's performances, the most. A couple of odd facts: My local CEC never changed into a Showbiz Pizza - and they never transitioned the King into the MJ inspired character. The establishment remained a CEC, well into the 1990s. I can recall being invited to a neighbor's child's birthday party (I had made the cake), no later than 1994. The King was still there, in the same place, in his original garb, doing the same songs. It was nostalgic, to see him again. In case anyone is wondering about that location, it was about 30 miles NW of Detroit City, near Waterford, MI.

Don't have any Halloween decorations? No problem, just get an old animatronic and leave it in your yard

all fun in games till the animatronics start wondering his home at night

i love cavitysam! all these people featured are so fun to watch ^_^ there aren’t many places in australia that have had animatronics, especially not ones still existing (the only one still around that comes to mind is the bunyip animatronic at murray bridge), so this sort of content gives a good opportunity to see what we’ve been missing out on down under :-)

Could you imagine waking up in the middle of the night and one of these creepy things are standing in front of your bed.

You guys should do an unintentionally creepy animatronics video! Also love the channel! Y’all the best! ❤️

3:58 The endo is so cool!! I really wanted to see a live endo..!!

Jared and his love for the King are so sweet, but god Four gave me immediate FNAF2 flashbacks

That fundraiser still needs $1,480. Let's get moving!

I've chatted with Jared, he said he even bought the copyrights and rights to The Kings as well

10:04 WAIT WHAT ROXY??

I used to be terrified of anamatronics,i had nightmares about them.but its just amazing how they were saved and restored to their formal glory.

So happy to see Cavitysam being spoken about at last! I’ve been following her work for many years now, so it’s wonderful to see her spoken about here. Honestly, her love for animatronics and repairing them in general is honestly amazing. Thank you for giving these creators a platform for their content and work :D

I just about leaped out of my skin with that first shot of the animatronic.

I love animatronics of all kinds to me they are works of art brought to life. I wish I know how to build and see how they function, but admiring them and seeing them saved to be used to brighten minds young and old to enjoy these life-live masterpieces brought back to life.

I love people like these fine folks who take something and rebuild it. So much patience... I admire their work!

I love em' but I wouldn't go near one if I had to...

that Michael Scott edit had me wheezing hkfhjffjfhhfj

Jared is an absolute mad lad! Edit: All these creators are mad lads! Love it

I know this is not related but I love to see how many people also have a fascination with animatronics everyone in my old school used to think of me as “weird” bc I liked animatronics and broken ones and when I found out there was a whole Community about the topic I got happy ❤

who else thought of FnaF when it said “animatronics” and “rotting”

“Please deposit 5 coins” *rockstar Freddy Vietnam flashbacks*

It's 1 am and I'm scared of animatronics, this is a perfect thing to watch before I go to sleep isn't it

6:18 holy crap that scared half of my soul out

I was born in '74. The Chuck E. Cheese characters were a huge part of my childhood. (I was so obsessed with "Dragon's Lair" and "Space Ace", that my dad bought me an actual Space Ace arcade machine in 1986, yes I still have it). Seeing these things be saved almost makes me misty-eyed.

6:46 the third one on the right would be a cool design for a FNAF based game, like the red textured stuff around the face makes it look like flesh its pretty creepy

Everybody grab your flashlight, the control shocker, animatronic mask, vent snare, audio lure, & use your doors to defend yourself from the Animatronics at night or else...

I've always had an interesting relationship with animatronics. I'm simultaneously fascinated and terrified by them 😂 I've always loved learning about Jim Henson's creature shop and was totally captivated by The Dark Crystal as a small child, but I always had the uncanny valley feeling toward the Chuck E. Cheese characters and their kin. It's really interesting to see what people have done with these guys!

I love learning about old animatronics, it’s so cool that people are willing to take the time to restore them. and knowing how to do it too!

CavitySam is one of my favourite KZfaqrs/ social media ppl ever tbh. She’s super nice and is interested in stuff that I am aswell!! I can’t wait to see her animatronics all restored

This is so wholesome, specifically the first story of a man truly indulging his inner child to share that same joy with a whole new generation❤️ definitely going to check his page out!

You have inspired me to start fixing animatronics I have started taking notes of what I should use or what I would need

YAY!! Another great video about animatronics. Animatronics kinda freak me out, yet I love learning about them lol

Honestly it's nice to see the old animatronics be fixed and improved and to see them move like how they used to

Tbh i didn’t even know the king still existed and i thought all of them were entirely destroyed. Also, holy shit the king is huge.

Hooray for the saviors who saved these animatronics!

The King is one of my all-time favorites here ON THE TUBE!

Man I love cavity sam, I'm really invested in their restoration of the circus playhouse band ^ ^

I remember at jungle Jim’s near where I live there was a King animatronic that you would put coins in to listen to him sing, me and my brother would go straight there every time we went, I don’t know if he’s still there now, but he was always my favorite part of those trips

All three of these people have such passion for their work, and it’s so nice to see these pieces of many people’s childhoods being perserved.

9:02 I find it neat that Connor kept Mitzi's custom outfit.

The guy who found "the king" is on tiktok and does lives with him, it's awesome!!!

Ok for real people, I cannot be rh only one who thinks these animatronics deserve their own museum

It's nice to see that people are still so passionate about these old attractions, I hope they can make at least a small comeback in one way or another.

I saw an animatronic at Jungle Jims that looked exactly like the King named Elvis. I wonder if he was taken from an old Chucky Cheese.

i really enjoy learning about animatronics and their restorations. a cool idea for a horror game would be where you investigate an old place and encounter run down animatronics that help you, and since they were made to entertain people the're very friendly.

I remember the king at my local roller rink in Michigan. He was cool but also scared me. It's really cool to know how close everyone's lives actually are

So good to see Jared and the ETT gang mentioned here!! Jared is such an amazing and kind guy, and he really does perfect every detail.

I have been doing a lot of research into this genre as I was always kind of scared of these things but now that I know much more about the great people that want to bring these things back to life, I can't help but be amazed.

animatronics scare me at every stage, new, the bare-bones, the skeleton, old, dirty, corrupted, they all freak me out but it is an art I can appreciate

This is so heartwarming. When I saw all of the animatronics abandoned or broken, I almost cried.

Can we bring back animatronic bands? I'm sure if they were done right they'd gain popularity again. These people are so cool

1:47 Michael: I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY

10:57 the robot to the far right can be seen at huckleberry junction in Michigan

YESSS I LITERALLY GOT GOOSEBUMPS WHEN HE MENTIONED CAVITY SAM I AM SO HAPPY SHE GOT FEATURED AND NOTICED HER WORK IS AMAZING

He forgot to mention “and get some random unknown pathogen” in the CEC intro

Thank you so much for helping to bring these talented people into more public awareness! I didn’t realized Andrea was raising money to get showtape rights, I’ll have to contribute something!

My brother used to be obsessed with Rockafire Explosion. He did a tour once to see the creator's collection.

I never knew The King has his own KZfaq Channel.

So excited to see CavitySam pop up here! I’ve been following her work for years, she’s a huge inspiration to me!!

Is it just me or is the king animatronic the cutest one 🤔♥️

Funfact- the only Billy bobs wonderland left that I know of is actually in my little state of West Virginia. Now they may have closed due to covid but i visited there as a kid and it was very cool and interesting. That place originally got me into animatronics

connor asking around to find the animatronics: 8:40

Yes yes yes!! That’s my friend Andrea! She puts her heart and soul into those characters!!

HOW HAVE I BOTNHEARD OF JARED BEFORE NOW, thats a dream of a history omggggt I cant wait to follow him and the others!

Damn that’s crazy rockafire explosion I remember that from pistol Pete’s in Phoenix Az back in the day crazy I use to love coming to watch the animatronic show it’s awesome someone still preserved them

I am a first time viewer, and a fnaf fan, so when I so his logo and heard the "Please deposits five coins" line from one of the Freddy animatronic, I FLIPPED!!

I’m going to be honest, if I saw that billy Bob animatronic, I would have burned it. Sorry guys but he literally terrifies me

Me who lives in Michigan and loves this mans channel: YESH

I like to think that after a long life and painful death into abandonment, these restorers bring them a 1UP and help them relive without becoming dellapitated.

This is amazing, so what's next people building animatronics straight out of FNAF?

So many Kings in one room

Thanks to Connor, I've gotten really invested in the Rock-afire explosion and I'm really happy I am ngl Specifically Beach Bear, idk what it is man but my neurodivergent brain just clasped onto him

Wow honestly it does look fascinating to repair an animatronic . Sooooooo cool

I'm from Brazil, and when I found out about these real animatronics, I searched and found your channel, just amazing!!

I feel like Jared did about the Janis Joplin esque Hippo, Dolly. I was star struck as a kid. I would do anything to find one and restore her!!! If you have any leads please message me...🤗🤗🤗

being a huge FNAF fan, I love seeing these.

By having the word “animatronic” in your title you summons a fandom

I can both see how those things could have brought joy to children in their hayday and find that completely unfathomable.
