Wow, she's really hypnotized by the animals! And I love how she can recognize Dook as a fellow dog, even if it cost him a good pair of shiny pants.

Man must take forever to program those things I'm also glad to see some still exist.

that dog was so cute

When I have Athena, Tandy is home with Kerry and vice versa. Funny thing is that Tandy refuses to be in the same room with the animatronics when it's running. I have just gotten her to come into the room when it's not running. But, when they start moving she runs for the hills. Aaron

Yes..I am teaching her manners with regard to the show, but I wanted to capture (and enjoy) her instincts before I rein her in and make her behave. Life can be so dull when we behave all the time, so I just gave her those moments before teaching her to settle down and stay off the stage.

Each character has to be programmed separately?! That's total dedication! I'd love to see more Rock-afire technical videos. :) Thank you so much for creating the Rock-afire Explosion. I loved the band as a child and am thrilled that you're keeping their magic going strong. Some of my fondest childhood memories were standing up against the stage and looking up at their wonderous performances. It was pure magic. Again, thank you. ^_^

I love her smile!

Thanks!! She loves compliments!! Air

The patience and gentleness you display when she rips Dukes pants, is truly inspiring me.. something to aspire to be like in all acts of life, to be that patient, gentle, and loving.

The way the dog is sliming is so funny.and when he said don't eat the grass or mess with my peanut butter she don't care! XD

I think Athena has a crush on Dook o3o

If only I could be that way with people.

It's crazy that all of that is still programmed on an Apple II

No Way! This Was Filmed In 2009? It Look’s Like It Was Filmed In 2017!

Dude that is exactly what I have been thinking. I have never seen this live. My parents just wouldn't do it. With that said if this was working from midi or even electronic drum triggers it could be far more sophisticated and yet easier to accomplish. With the right software you could physically watch the sound wave and record your movements to it via tracks and midi. Triggering off a electronic piano keyboard would replace the doorbell ringers. Isn't the dog unique? Wow! Aaron has great taste.

I never seen a dog that happy before look at her face. LOL HA

Aaron - your work was a huge part of my birthdays for 1st 10 years of my life. 80-90 in Dallas. We talk about RAE regularly to this day.

My Pleasure! Air

Aaron is the Steve Jobs of Animatronics.

Aw so cute

This guy is a genius.

who wouldnt love the dog

She happens to bu Bark Magazine this month with that smile! Check out the smiling dog pictures! Air

Athena is a very beautiful dog and a very smart doggie

So this is how they work. Awesome!

You know why Athena bark at Duke?Duke is a dog and Athena is a dog.I will act it out Athena:this dog is a big dog im mad at you!Duke:Why cant I move?All of the band: I dont know! Duke:GeeeshhhD:

even athena has a favorite character. its so ironic that it is dook larue because dooks a dog too.

Yes..I let her have her fun, especially for your viewing enjoyment, and now, Athena has to obey and stay off the stage.

I love your dog

3:25 guess your dog likes Dook!

You do have a great dog

Thanks for the memories Aaron. I been enjoying your videos.

This made me feel a bit better around animitronics

I love when the characters are still...so spooky :)

Athena doesn't want Duke to move.....

Duke is playing the drum s :)

(beware, questions incoming) (snrk) You scared her, poor baby... Why is Athena allowed in the shop, but Tandy isn't? And what's all that music? Do you just go and watch the old shows in your free time? (Jealous.) Why is Athena so fascinated with Dook? Other than the fact that he's awesome. Who's counting up to 30 and why? Do Beach Bear's legs move separately? The diagnostics tape for the franchise-that-must-not-be-named shows them moving together. Onto the second video!

Aaron! You have got to do more behind the scenes stuff like this. It was great! Seeing some of the original equipment you used back in the 80s like that old Mac was interesting. God I wish Showbiz / RAE locations could come back!

4:52 Close your eyes for 10 seconds and just imagine...

you have the best dog

my favorate showtape is the abbey road showtape will be forever

I'm a super fan of the Rae

It’s sad to see the creator of these things play with them though nobody is able to see them anymore

It's really surprising that these things haven't been updated to use MIDI. That's gotta stink programming a song.

@GTTeancum Midi is for wimps. ;o)

0:49 Why'd you wake me !!!!!!!!!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

What was the music at 1:45?

have you done some ozzy on them? >:D
