It’s interesting how some of creative engineering animatronics are more complex than modern day animatronics

If the person voicing the second incarnation of Orwell is the same guy who was the corporate version of Rolfe, then his Orwell honestly sounds more like Rolfe than his actual Rolfe!

One of my local museums had an animatronic dinosaur mech they’d occasionally put out. It’d be alongside various (less advanced than the mech) dinos. People could control it via a panel with buttons like Orwell. As a kid it was the coolest thing (and even as an adult still pretty cool) to get to control a character and see how it works. It was always my favorite thing and I’d get so excited when they’d have it. I also remember one of the Dino’s skins being worn out once. If you looked through the tail you could see the mech/shells a bit. It felt so awesome getting to see how the cosmetics sat on a mech to make it become a character. I can only imagine it must have been a similar experience for kids who experienced Orwell.

Is it the Dino thing that was in the Coliseum at Hampton?

This was at the science center in NC when I was little. Or something very similar. I remember it vividly bc I thought it was absolutely gnarly

I love a book about behind the scenes of the animatronics and the inner working of them because I have always been interested in the show time animatronics

Of all the characters I expected to talk Orwell is not one of them. Less with two voices. Glad we got audio tho! Thanks for sharing cool data with us fans :)

Ha, Orwell, a Robot that you can control... So many levels of symbalism there! 😂 There wasn't ever any fear of kids climbing over and sticking their fingers in the moving parts at all?

is it known if orwell and pappy were at the same location? frequent guests probably would’ve noticed they were going a little insane playing with the klunk mech

@showbizpizzacom Жыл бұрын

That’s what Paul Linden remembered - that they were both used in the Richardson store (and only there). It’s not clear if they were used simultaneously or if they only had one Klunk mech and it was recycled for both Pappy and then Orwell later. It’s quite possible they were sitting on two of them since a few dozen were made and almost all ended up in the possession of ShowBiz since they purchased them. But because of the limited Klunk “stock” it’s weird they even attempted this. It would have been impossible to roll this out very far before they ran out of mechs. Would have been a great use for Billy Bob post-CU though. 🤷‍♂️

@@showbizpizzacom I have one theory. I think SPT might of was thinking about have either Dave Thomas's Company or Animation World doing a Mech that was very very similar to Klunk's mech for both Pappy and Orwell if the ran out of stock.

I know this is off topic, but I personally thought Jeff Howells clunk was pretty funny. But, imagine if Jeff had gotten to voice rolf or even earl. Imagine the antics there man.

Question: will there ever be a episode about the half a chuck/ splut chuck from the foothill college electronic museum cause not that long ago I found a actual like modern video for the half a chuck but alot of CEC and sbpp fans have probably seen it already.
