I misread my script @ 10:34. Meant to say Rocky not Ricky!

I own the Tex Critter's Pizza Jamboree show featured here!! They're nearly restored now but need a control system which has been a struggle. I love those characters so much and I'm extremely grateful to have them. My goal is to eventually have my animatronics set up somewhere where fans can come to visit.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Mr. Krabs became an animatronic.

I own the last surviving Pepe Le Pew animatronic from the Gadgets restaurant. Nice video!

Animatronics are literally the best way to bring the story to life, especially on rides.

I’m pretty indifferent to FNAF, I knew of it when it first came out but it never caught in for me, HOWEVER. One of the coolest ideas would be a seasonal Halloween pop up restaurant of fnaf. It can be a restaurant by day and scary haunted attraction by night. That would be so fun and would definitely catch on.

As a Looney Tunes fan, it bums me that the Gadget’s Restaurant had to close down. Would’ve been so cool for me to experience if I was even born in that timeline lol. (Plus that Rocky and Bullwinkle restaurant)

I loved Tex Critter's animatronic dragon's character design. It's a green dragon & a cowboy - my 2 favorite things! Foxy Roxy was adorable, too.

Trying out a new thing where I post non-morbid videos onto this channel! So double the videos!

I suggest looking into Jekyll and Hyde's if you ever do a sequel. That resturant is close to my heart and Ill remember it always. I have some photos from the last year it was open if wanted. It's my fav, and IMO the coolest due to being horror themed, animatronic based resturant. They also hired local startup actors as well!

What sucks is that the chuck e cheese where I live, there aren't animatronics anymore. They had gotten rid of all of them except for this old chucky animatronic but now it's just a huge television in the place of where they were.

Gigglebee's was actually a small chain that had multiple locations throughout different states, but under various different names. The original Gigglebee's (seen in the video) was located in Sioux Falls, SD and had another nearby location in Rapid City, SD. The Rapid City location was later renamed "Peppy's Pizza" and lasted the longest out of the Gigglebee's franchises, closing around 2015. Gigglebee's had a beloved sister franchise located in Sioux City, IA under the name of "Pizza Peddler" and was in one of the buildings located at the KD Station. The KD station was a meat packing plant that had been rebuilt into a shopping mall, and Pizza Peddler was located on the 2nd floor of a sub-building in the old meat packing plant. The KD Station caught fire and was demolished around 2007, leaving Pizza Peddler alone in the unaffected sub-building. Most residents of Sioux City, IA assumed that Pizza Peddler had been closed along side the other shops located in KD Station, and eventually business dwindled forcing Pizza Peddler to close its doors. Today the space sits vacant above a gun store and range that occupies the basement and 1st floor, at the bottom of the stairs is a sign from the original Pizza Peddler, featuring the hours of operation and art of Wilbur riding his trike. The last franchise was established inexplicably far from Siouxland, and was located in a Goose Creek, SC shopping center. This franchise operated under the name "Track Stars FEC" and I admittedly cannot find a lot of information on this location. The old Track Stars FEC space is now occupied by an O'Reilly Auto Parts. Wilbur The Coyote and rights to the franchise were acquired by George Hahn around the time Peppy's Pizza closed, and Wilbur has received a total redesign. Wilbur still rides and attends events to this day, and is a beloved Siouxland icon. As for plans for a future location, George has teased at the idea, but has stated "location is everything" and that he would like to refine Wilbur's design first.

the medford bullwinkle's did not close down >permanently< in 2001. After reopening, it remained under the "bullwinkle" name, and then, it changed to "Boomers" (but still kept the Rocky & Bullwinkle theme up)... I have no clue what the state of the place is now, as I have not gone over there in some time. It was a pretty big place

I grew up going to Bullwinkle's in the summer when I visited the West Coast. I always loved how much more there was to do (games, mini golf, go karts, ropes courses, water rides) on top of the standard pizza and arcade. Unfortunately they were phasing out animatronics by then and I only saw them once or twice. A lot of the restaurants are getting a revamp, but are going the chuck-e route and hiding the animatronics away.

Hey that’s my friend Cavitysam!! She’s got collection of the Tex’s critters pizza Jamboree, she’s trying to restore them!

Unfornately I miss my original Bullwinkle's location. It was a Family Fun Center in Fountain Valley, CA and has gone through rough patches. It had a unique water stage/fountain and the animatronics were in the back where the behind the water stage runway. It had an arcade, bumper boats, bating cage, rides, go cart and mini golf. Similar to its original sister location. I think sometime in the early 2000s it closed down and became Boomers, which for that location lasted until 2019. Once covid hit, that location closed down and now sits abandoned. The entire location has been vandalized, mostly that of the mini golf course and go kart track. It really sucks since I have a lot of memories of the place. It was the only other location I saw animatronics at other than Chuck E Cheese. Otherwise all we had as competition was "Castle and Coasters" which too sadly shut down.

i spent half of my childhood hanging out at the bullwinkle family fun center, not even kidding the workers knew us by name in there we went so frequent. their pizza was exceptionally good, it was such a magical experience having dinner while watching the animatronics perform their little skits and songs! the tukwila location is the one we visited most since we lived close by, so many wonderful memories there with my family!!❤️

The image of the Facebook post you make reference to is of a manager of the Tex Critter’s Pizza Jamboree location that was at the Plaza Carolina Mall in Carolina, Puerto Rico. The restaurant opened in 1982 and was located at the food court of the mall “La Plazoleta” and was the first and only of these restaurants out of the United States to my knowledge.

Tuv spoiling us this week.

I want animatronic restaurants to make a comeback

I have visited the Wilsonville location, which today operates as the Wilsonville Family Fun Center, with only the small indoor pizzeria being called Rocky & Bullwinkle's, with just the two eponymous animatronics.

I’ve seen the rainforest cafè, it didn’t look closed, but my sister said her experience was horrible, but i don’t ever remember going

I feel like nowadays it’s a horribly bad decision to make a animatronic restaurant, Kids don’t do anything but sit on phones and the internet, and that’s not inherently a bad thing, but there’s no reason to make these anymore. when kids want a birthday party they just want to hang out with friends. And estate sales are on a all time high, so it’s hard to buy and keep a property. Even with how much animatronics have progressed, there’s not going to be much business, and Chuck E. Cheese is still alive and well so anyone could just go there.

Tuv i had a dream you made a full album with Green Day WHY DID I DREAM ABOUT THAT💀

I'm from south dakota! I hadn't heard of Gigglebees until now but I realized in sioux falls at a convention called Siouxpercon, they have Wilbur riding round his scooter talking to folks!!! This makes me so happy :))

I'm just sad that Animatronic Restaurants never came over to the UK and became a hit like CEC. I know there was one short lived one, but it was basically Showbiz with one animatronic going by a different name and edited slightly. I wish we had been able to create our own version, it wouldn't even need to be a pizza place, we could have had an Animatronic Pub for example, since pubs are everywhere.

At least Major Magic tried to revamp with some actual bits of nostalgia lol

I swear, it’s like a curse due to all these restaurants closing their doors constantly.

i just learnt tonight that the arcade i went to as a kid owned the last rockafire explosion in canada. i was way too young to remember it well and the fact that i just barely missed my chance to go back and see the show in person will haunt me forever lmao

I remember Gigglebee’s! My family and I visited there while on vacation in the late ‘90s. It was around the time Toy Story had come out, so my parents told me it was Pizza Planet to get me to go lol. Our animatronic waiter was a female dragon; I forget what her name was. At the prize counter, they told me that I could pick any prize I wanted. A giant plush toy of one of the characters was in a display case, so naturally I wanted it, except it was for display only and therefore wasn’t for sale. Rather than my parents letting it be a teachable moment and have me pick an actual prize, they instead forced the employee at the counter to give it to me. They were always such enablers lol

It's a good day when tuv posts fr

This is cool!! I love when you talk about animatronics

i went to the wilsonville bullwinkles for so many birthday parties when i was a kid. my classmates and i preferred it over chuck e cheese since there was so much more to do than just games, like the mini golf, go carts and lazer tag. now i'm realizing why i love fnaf security breach the most. lol

I wish that gadgets was still going because I would love to see Sammy and the luney toons play music

Great video!

Hear me out: Gigglebees but modernized into those sushi conveyer bars with animatronics

This is AWESOME! I love animatronic restaurants

I stumbled upon your video and well on the topic of gadgets restaurant. It's actually interesting. I live in New Jersey near toms River and it's actually pretty weird when I was working for rental car business moving their cars. I seen an old sign for it and I was like wait. Where is this place? And when I drove past the building was gone so I was like holy crap who knew Then a few weeks later the sign was gone and I was like. I guess somebody must have seen it and must seen it

I went to the Bullwinkle's in Fountain Valley, California when I was a kid. I went to several birthday parties there, including one of my own. I loved it! I was way bigger and had more to do than any Chuck-E-Cheese's ever did (probably because it was kind of a "campus" with lots of other attractions, like mini-golf, bumper cars, and kart racing). I have fond memories of that place. That location doesn't exist anymore, but of the ones on your list, Bullwinkle's is the only one I knew (and visited).

It’s sad that current Cec is all that still exists. They suck now, I would prefer literally any other robot location take over them

An animatronic serving pizza? That’s a first

TWO TUV VIDEOS IN A WEEK⁉️⁉️

Bullwinkles is where I went when I was a kid. Since some of them are still in operation (sadly not the one in Santa Clara that I frequented back in the day) I think it would be fun to visit one for the nostalgia.

something i can watch b4 bed thnx :D

I want to open my own animatronic restaurant one day. Hopefully it won’t be on this list lol.

Family fun center in tukwilla is cool, but sadly the last time we were there the restaurant part was closed so you couldnt see the animatronics

My hometown of Calgary, Alberta had a Bullwinkle's when I was a kid. But it wasn't a family fun center. Just had the restaurant with the animatronics, and arcade.

I remember going to bullwinkles it was cool but loud

Bertie seems to have a lot of respect for this stuff good for him👍👍

The animatronics here do get a bit quirky at night

What if you were to one day visit bullwinlkle in upland? Kinda like the animatronic documentary

Yea....they need a creepy fnaf fan game of all these now closed restaurants

YO I LIVE IN WA! Bulwinkle here I come lol

Major Magic was the best at what it did. I miss it dearly.

who else think of freddy fazbear's pizza when somebody says "pizzaria with animatronics"?

Love you videos ❤️👍😙👌✨

fun fact: some of the animatronics from Major magics are on ebay rn

Wow! What?! I though there was only Chuck a cheese and show beez!! :0 update I just realized I’m watching Tuv and didn’t even know!

Hahah great video. I really enjoyed it. But I have to be a youtube commentor here and say it's ROCKY and bullwinkle. That really cracked me up.

Hey does anyone else recall the simple animatronics from place called bugaboo creek steakhouse? why isn't that mention so much? They are animatronics right?

Unfortunately the first thing to actually come to mind is FNAF instead of chuck e cheese for most people

Fun​ fact​ major​ magic​ had​ rock​ afire​ explosion​ retrofitted​ it​ send​ to​ billy​ bob's​ pizza​ tron​

10:34 ricky and bullwinkle

I grew up in buffalo ny and remember major magics had bday party there 😂

Beatle reference im shaking in happiness

i actually never went to it sadly when it was family fun center but a interesting fact is the one near me was a boomers for years (that was my childhood ) and got turned back into a family fun center . last year they closed though (im talking about the san diego location)

TUV🤯🤯

4:35 imagine these machines controlled by angry spirits like fnaf, bricks have been shit

So no Freddy faz bear? 🐻

Major Magic’s want a failure bro. It was huge in Michigan.

I remember a animatronic restaurant called Bobby’s diner. I used to go there for all my birthdays. Does anybody remember this place?? I can’t remember when it shut down so someone let me know if y’all remember

My mom went to magics and I never knew what it was but I saw her child photo there in front of the drum and we live in Michigan so it made a lot of sense. Also you should come visit Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Muesuem I believe you’ll love it as you loved smitty’s

My dad grew up with major magics

Gigglebees mentioned

I wish Sgt. Singer's Pizza Circus would be on a video like this!

Dude said "Rickey" and Bullwinkle

🎵FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYYYYYYYS! IS THIS WHERE YOU WANNA BE? I JUST DONT GET IIIIIIIT WHY DO YOU WANNA STAY FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYYYYYYYS!🎵

In food battle 2023 they filmed at the same place as roadtrip

I really enjoyed this video as an animatronic history fan. One minor criticism though is the music choice, it didn't fit the tone of the video and (at least to me) stood out. Still a good video though

I'm dead over 'Ricky'

Hi Bertie!

Dude. I live is South Dakota and Sioux Falls is like 4 hours away from where I am. Damn, it would have been fun to go there. Animatronics handing you food??? Fuck yeah!!!

I CAN SEE FREDDY BONNIE AND CHICA! 0:25

Anybody know the music used for the bullwinkle's segment? (Also i've been to that Bullwinkle's in Oregon it was cool)

l love it

RICKY and Bulwinkle?!??!?!

WE GOT DAFFY THERE!

I was waiting for the line “then Freddy fazbears pizza joined the figh-“
