I would like everyone to stop it with the confederate flag comments. They are getting annoying and predictable. Also: Check out the updated version of this video! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gt9ngJiUu9_dkY0.html

i like how chuck e becomes self aware and says "sittin' up here pugged into the same computer as that fruitcake dog"

I don’t know why but Chuck E. Cheese gives off the vibe of a mob boss. I honestly like this Chuck E. Cheese better than the more modern versions, he seems more genuine like he really enjoys doing this than that generic personality he has now.

I just like how open they were about it all being fake creatures, instead of being like “yes these are giant animals talking and playing instruments”

It's cool that there is existing footage of Crusty the Cat.

To everyone talking about the confederate flags, they’re around Jasper due to him being a southerner. Plus it wasn’t really as controversial back then as it is today.

Back then Chuck E. Cheese was true comedy gold

I cried so hard when this footage was found. I thought for sure I would never see anything like it in my lifetime

I honestly love this CEC era more than the Rockstar and Avenger Chuck eras.

Fun fact: Five Nights at Chuck E Cheese Rebooted makes a pretty clever and cool reference to these early animatronics. If you look, Jasper’s hand has fallen off in both the game and in this footage at 0:47

ngl I would rather go to this version of chuck e. cheese than the version that we have now`

Five nights at Chuck E Cheese: Rebooted uses these designs of the animatronics which in my opinion was a very creative idea that makes it different from other Fnaf like games.

Chuck used to act like a mob boss, it was great

Not gonna lie, Chuck looks and sounds drunk as hell. especially when he opens and closes one eye at a time.

If only i was born back then,I would be so entertained

It's so weird that the kids in this video are like 30 or something now

The only bad thing is that this vid was too short I would honestly watch half an hour of portrait shows

1:24 don’t tell me jasper t joules just said let’s have a good rebel yell

Chucky: Cause it’s not your *boithay,* nitwit! Jasper/Crusty: Oh, yeah! *turns into a hyena*

0:08 Helen being strangled

"Fruitcake dog" That' sounds lile something my friend would call me 😭

I cant believe the new Chuck E. Cheese design tries to make him look badass But the 1979 version looks more badass

Something I notice about the kids in this video… their attention span is much longer. To see them sitting there, mesmerized at the animatronics and eating their pizza was something from the 80’s. Today, the kids couldn’t sit and look at anything for more than a few seconds without being bored and finding the next distraction - all thanks to the devices parents stick in front of the kids to appease them today.

Why do I keep watching it? I’m obsessed with animatronics now!

I wish I could see old Chuck E. fourth wall breaks.

Man what upgrades most of them got especially Pasquale and helen. I thought mr munch was more 80s due to the half bot stage Plus jaspers yell..he was definitely more wild personality back than his other versions

If someone can find the other portrait show animatronics besides chuck and crusty they could finally resurface a complete show

These are my 2nd favorite animatronics, The 3rd stage/Concept Unification are my 1st favorite.

How did I know the comments were going to be more concerned with the piece of cloth than the genuine archived history of these animatronics? "Why is the rebel flag there?!?!", Newsflash: it wasn't controversial back then. There's your answer, plain and simple. There was a time where people saw that flag and 99% of them didn't bat an eye. Look at Nascar, Dukes of Hazard, and southern capital buildings for example...it was around. Wasn't until we entered this new age of racist-McCarthyism that this stuff started getting called out and snuffed out. By around 2030 we'll have moved on to the next thing to hunt down, history repeats itself whether we're right or wrong. Now shut up and enjoy the rare show of singing robots.

That was great when you show me about the history of chuck e cheeses pizza time theater 👌👍🥰💖✨.

I have been single handedly coming back to this video, I am the reason you keep getting viewers here.

We keep watching this because this is the only footage of 70’s chuck

I just noticed people laughed at chuck e cheese's adult jokes.

I keep watching it because the portrait show is something that i find very interested

This video is about to gain more attention after John Oliver discussed Chuck E Cheese on his alternative show "LastSqueakTonight" website covering the chain.

Lol Chuck E.’s behavior was hilarious

Wish we can see one of these shows its very different compared to other animatronic bands

Looks 1,000x better than anything since, give chuck back his fat dart and jersey accent. Also love the waving flags

Did you edit any of this besides dubbing the footage with the show audio? Nice compilation either way!

1:06 OHHHHHHHH YYYAAAHHHHHHH YAHOOEE AHOOOAHHAHOOOAAH

Who else misses the old chuck e cheese

They should really bring back this version of Chuck E. Cheese show and the entire original restruants entirely they would get lots of business back and people would love Chuck E. Cheese again they were stupid for getting rid of the animatronics for dum dance floors and now a lot of there rest raunts are closed if they brung back this version of Chuck E. Cheese they would be very successful they should have the restaurant one side original and one side modern Chuck E. Cheese for people who like the new and old

cause its a hit classic

Chuck was so derpy

I like how open about how they’re just robots, I remember trying to wear the mascot suit when I was 5.

good Memories :)

Did anyone else come here because they wanted to recreate one of these animatronics and have to study the movements? only me? ok

Five Nights at Chuck E Cheese: Rebooted brought me here.

When ever I dream of chucky cheese pizza 🍕 I always find my self here at the picture show as a toddler great memories

I now understand why the hippo was a problem😂

Man, Chuck E. used to have attitude with the cigar chompin' and the Jersey accent and the fourth wall breaking.

Chuck-E(?) Looks like a mob boss...My friend Agrees too!

this looks very cool

2:01 boithdae

Imagine watching this footage and your first thought is “CoNFedErAtE FlAGs?!”

I. Want. These. Versions. Of. The. Characters. Back. NOW!

Thank you finally some one gets it

I'm not sure what their name is, but I find that piano playing hippo really cool! It's really an advance from the portrait characters and is more chill.

The 2nd one’s animatronics are a lot less quality then the 1st one

John Oliver brought me here. Oh, and they need to bring back the Insult Comic, Joisey A-hole Chuck E. Cheese...

I like the song and chuck

It's odd to me their eyelids weren't synced to the same motor. It's such a small thing but it's so noticeable how they blink asynchronously. Also wow the confederate flag, that caught me by surprise haha. I didn't know there was a time it didn't carry the same weight it does now.

Its cool

they should bring back the 1991 chuck e cheese animatronics

They look so small on the video but we’re probably huge like the modern cyberamics

Something i find strange is that in Chuck E. Cheese promo vids like “The history of Chuck E. Cheese’s “ They always skip the pizza time theater and showbiz pizza Like they were trynna hide something

is very cool

Five nights at Chuck E. Cheese’s: rebooted uses the 1979 models shown in the first clip

0:36 my boy jasper got the vocals

very nice (I AM NOT A FURRY I JUST LIKE THIS IMAGE)

Not gonna lie. If you had told me that there was a chuck e cheese show where the characters stuck out of walls next to the confederate flag I would not have believed you.

0:06 I know they are part of the Great Movie Ride

Here's what Logan McKay never said to me, "just so to warn you that: when the boys & girls grow up to be men and women, it's so easy to get robbed of your innocence." Logan didn't also say, "it's already the guilt ridden years for all of us oh yeah oh no."

Crusty is one of original gang members

The Shelf was the original animation format used at Pizza Time Theatre. It is commonly referred to as the "Portrait Show", as the animatronic characters were situated along the wall, hanging out of large 4-foot tall gilt portrait frames. It is believed to be called the Shelf, because the portraits are usually located along a decorated shelf which ran between the characters (also with the introduction of the Balcony Stage, it became important to distinguish this original set-up from the updated show which included a proper stage). The animatronic characters used in this show are considered to be "first generation" and were quite different both mechanically and in appearance than the animatronics that followed. It is important to note that the Shelf show really didn’t incorporate a true "stage" set-up, however, as it evolved over the early years, it moved closer to grouping the characters together into a consolidated show. The Stage / Features The original layout from the first Pizza Time Theatre (Winchester Blvd, San Jose, CA) had the portraits spread out around the main theatre in a 360-degree show. Pasqually was placed above the kitchen and would pop out from behind a set of doors and could call out the orders, Jasper was placed on the wall to the left of him, Crusty and Chuck E, were along the back wall, the special guest and applause board were placed on the wall to the right of Pasqually. The Warblettes sat on an elevated platform which hung from the ceiling (their curtains would raise up to reveal them). By the time the second store opened (Kooser Rd, San Jose, CA) the portraits were grouped closer together and placed along two adjacent walls. Crusty was replaced by Mr. Munch (who was placed behind a set of doors similar to Pasqually), and the Warblettes were replaced by the Mopsey Sisters - at least temporarily. Technical Information Due to the scarcity of documentation from the early years of Pizza Time Theatre, we don't know a great deal about the technical operation of the Shelf. But based on the accounts of former employees, and what we’ve been able to figure out from early reels, we do have some knowledge of the show mechanics. The show was very similar to the operation of the Balcony Stage - the show is animated by pneumatic valve banks which are controlled by means of 2-track synchronized audio. One track carries the show audio (mono), while the other carries the data signals. The signals used to animate the Shelf characters are the same used to control the Balcony Stage characters - several showtapes made during the transitional period were labeled for use on both "Stage + Shelf". There are a few points where the show operation differed. The Cyberamics rack used to control the Balcony Stage was most likely created specifically for the Balcony. It was a consolidation of the several systems needed to run the original Shelf setup. According to one of Pizza Time’s first employees, the Shelf characters each had a mini computer onboard (which used either an Intel 8080 or MOS Technology 6502). This made servicing them a hassle, as the employees either had to work on the animatronics from the front, or in some cases they crawled through the soffit to get to the electronics behind the characters. It should be noted that earliest show reels are said to have contained the entire show and background audio (on the same reel). So the original system design might have had some significant differences from the later Cyberamics system. History / Information The Shelf was quite an interesting design, and was probably more interactive than most of the later stage incarnations when you consider it was originally intended to be a 360-degree entertainment experience. Plus the idea of portraits coming to life was a neat concept in-and-of-itself. The first generation characters were more realistic in appearance, being sculpted out of latex and fur - as opposed to the cloth material used later down the line. Although they suffered from very limited animation there were still some neat surprises, such as Chuck E’s moving derby, that have not been seen since. Although the Shelf was discontinued after the first few years of Pizza Time Theatre, it was probably more the result of a very innovative Pizza Time, rather than the shortcomings of the Shelf show. In its few short years, the Shelf became the launching platform for many different characters and guest stars. By 1981 the Shelf was all but dead - the Harmony I showtape was the first tape to discontinue programming certain signals needed for the Shelf operation (such as Munch's and Pasqually's doors). But despite the early discontinuation, there is documented proof of the Shelf lasting as late as 1991 (albeit with second generation characters). The information posted on this page is the culmination of what is known about this show. Thanks to Dbenjami for much of the information. If you happen to have any further information on the Shelf - either documents, photos, or videos to share please contact us!

This video was released a few years ago by Chuck E. Cheese's as part of an anniversary celebration, right? If I recall correctly, before they released this, any video footage of the portrait animatronics was lost media.

I keep watching because it’s interesting

Sad how kids won’t grow up with this stuff, They grow up with a ipad in front of their face

wow good experience

what if somebody remade a portrait show animatronic

Jasper J Jowls my favourite animatronic! There is something in it that gives away the American hinterland.Jasper from pizza time theatre l like more than modern
