Are animatronics /co/ related? Puppets are, so I don't see why not?
>>83907325
I used to love this shit as a kid. Apparently most chuck e cheese locations have been phasing out most characters other than chuck e though. Dissapointing.
Maybe five nights at freddys will show the ceos that there is still an interest in this kind of stuff
What a disappointing thread. I figured /co/ would have a bigger interest in this

>>83907738
People used to talk about this kinda stuff pretty frequently on /vg/'s /5N@F/ thread.
Apparently they don't even do animatronics anymore. Now it's just big screens on the walls that play animated videos of the characters every few minutes.
There used to be a guy that worked at one of these places that would tell stories from is time servicing various performers.Pic related was based on one of them.
>>83907738
Probably the opposite effect though, like what happened to clowns.

You do NOT change that fucking voice after 20 years.
Go to Disneyland. Just went there with my family. The ride animatronics are amazing. Despite being half a decade old, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, despite being half a century old, was so life-like it made me on the verge of tears.

Warner snatched it up. No word on theme park rights yet.
>>83909776
It is universal. If the film is successful, maybe we WILL see an attraction some day

>>83910583
Well it turns out kids aren't afraid of slasher movies. Its not the 70s any more.
FNAF is this generations friday the 13th. There is really no way around it. You can't just decide what is popular and what isn't
>>83910583
Slasher films are fucking gay.
>>83907325
SHUT YOUR MOUTH, WIMP-CAKE!
>>83910583
Literally impossible. Slasher films without 70s/80s nostalgia are box office poison, these days.
The entire Horror genre is a wasteland of hacks and corporate buffoons who wouldn't know scary if it jumped up through the shower drain and laid its eggs in their stomachs.
>>83910583
I couldn't care less about the slasher genre, and gore porn always seemed so low brow and needlessly cruel.
Much as people hate on the franchise, and the fandom that sprung up around it, FNAF got right what few other horror games or movies do: atmosphere. It mixed peoples natural fear of the uncanny valley with superb art direction and sound design, making something genuinely unnerving to play. Say what you will about the game mechanics or the sequels or all the autism surrounding it, but there was a genuine reason the first game became as popular as it did.
Shit was spooky, and it did a good job of hinting at an explanation for the events of the game while leaving lots of room for the imagination.

The fanbase is absolute dogshit but I think FNAF is great in a lot of ways. Animatronics have always had so much untapped potential in the horror genre and FNAF is what really showed there potential.
Animatronics are now being seen as a legit form of monster and a genre of horror because of FNAF which I think is fantastic. I hope to see more scary animatronic related things specially non-FNAF stuff.
>>83909366
Bullshit
>>83919010

And yes, it's using REAL animatronics.

Maybe it wasnt a documentary then, and just some video on youtoobs.
The dude that currently owns the rockafire set, and has helped program those new songs for the robots was showing the whole thing to a bunch of kids, and they kept talking about FNAF. And he looked annoyed as fuck every time the kids called them "exoskeletons."

>exoskeleton
Isn't it called an endoskeleton in FNaF in the first place? Or was that part of how retarded the kid was being?
>>83921142
Exoskeleton would be the outside of it, right?
>>83921245
Yeah. So if its a framework that goes underneath a skin or chassis or something, it'd probably be called an endoskeleton, or something else.
If the kid was calling it an endoskeleton though, I don't see why that would be particularly distressing outside of the association with the franchise. It seems like a valid word for the thing. Unless it has a better real name for it he was trying to teach the kid and the kid was just ignoring him.
>>83921326

Go watch his vidoes on his youtube channel. He is very clearly a bit crazy, but he literally calls himself an inventor and does all sorts of work with electronics and anamatronics and arcade games and stuff. Dudes really smart.

We might have Rob Schrab of SCUD working on it in some capacity if we go by his friendship with Kenan.
But yes, Kenan is a hack. I hope he gets fucked out of the movie the way WB did to Seth Graham Smith in favor of someone who actually knows how to direct a horror movie.

Here's a full Pizza Time Theatre balcony show that someone has in their garage. Ignore Harmony's weird jaw and the fact that Jasper barely functions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33qszbYvpW8
>>83931924
I always kind of loved how utterly basic and lifeless the original Pizza Time Theatre animatronics looked
![crusty_lg[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/RDDuat2.jpg "crusty_lg[1].jpg")
>>83932380
They were ugly as fuck, but their weird, erratic movements were always enticing to watch. The showtapes were also pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHzuLDGOKG8
>>83932557
They kind of just looked like those wall mounted trophies that you'd find by a fire place. Not sure if that was intended, but just how I've always interpreted them
>>83932851
They were in portrait frames. The '70s were a weird time.
>>83922699
Have you seen some recent horror movies? They're kinda starved for good material and will settle for just about anything remotely spooky that might earn a few bucks.
>>83932380
Is it weird that the most immediately jarring thing in that image for me was that he's holding a cigar?
Like, I forgot for a second that it used to be acceptable for animal characters targeted at children to smoke and that cigars had a certain unique brand of charm at one time.
>>83909365
Werner?
>>83933116
The Pizza Time Theatre did lot of raunchy and risque shit in the early years. The crowning example is probably Dolli Dimples, the animatronic hippo with jiggle physics, who played the piano at a lounge area intended for adults. There was a whole bunch of shit like this.
The original segments with the "demo voices" that took up about half of the first showtape (I'm not actually sure if the demo voices were even played in the restaurant or not.) included a joke told by Crusty in which he gets dumped by his girlfriend on a date, and when "The Big C", as they called him, asks him what he had for dinner, he replies with, "a slice of pizza and a six-pack". Also in one of the "demo voices" acts, the Warblettes sing a song about someone trying to fug one of them in the back seat of a car while at the drive-in.
On a related note, I love how the characters would casually mention the fact that they were animatronics.
>Crusty, Jasper! There's a computer back there makin' us talk and sing, right?
>>83919939
Wow, this shit is very impressive and you can just tell that Walt is excited talking about it.
>>83920573
>>83931099
My only experience with Kenan is Monster House and I think that's a fantastic movie so what's he done besides monster house or has he done something to give himself a bad image?

The new Frozen ride opened today.
Which type of Chuck E Cheese did you guys have when you were younger?
Studio C Master Race
>>83955037
Man, I am really dissapointed they replaced the ride that was already there. It was cozy af.
This however, is actually really really impressive. I wanted to hate it but I can't with just how impressive it is
>>83949539
I can't wait for that Puppet Master game to get polished.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGtMVrHUOtA
>>83955072
Faggot. Three-stage reporting in, but at least we're both superior to that shit two-stage. I don't care if it has all the animatronics, it's still ugly as ass. And don't even get me started on the Road Stage.
>>83955174
The animatronics are great, especially the skating Olaf, but the ride itself is super shallow. Like you just go up to Elsa's castle to hear her sing Let it Go again for no real reason beyond it being her Number 1 Hit Single and then you drop down and it just kinda ends and you have Anna, Elsa and Olaf awkwardly singing In Summer.
>>83955624
Also, the trolls are wholly unnecessary, especially with their bit just them being watching the movie on a rock TV and talking about DA STORY OF HOW ARIEL FELL IN LOVE
>>83909776
I was just thinking of this the other day and concluded it would have to be Universal to do it and it'd have to be an attraction similar to ExtraTERRORestrial at Dinsney.
Either that or, like someone else said, a sort of walkthrough ride like that one Mummy thing used to be.
>>83955072
Been raised on that four animatronic bandstand around my area. I've almost always dreamed of going to one with a Studio C back when I had an autistically bad CEC itch going on when I was nine. Twas embarrassing looking back on it now.
>>83955598
3 stage is in my opinion the most visually appealing. I have no issue with 2 stage though even though it kinda bothers me how far Chuck e is from everyone else. Which stage design featured the house? Are there still locations that use that set?
Either way, the only setup that I really just actively hate is the new Circle of Lights. It looks so terribly barren and boring. If they gave chuck e a companion or something like Munch, they could make it work. But the way it is now is just so visually boring
>>83955037
Holy shit those animatronics are amazing. The facial animation on them is top notch too. I want to be mad that they got rid of the god-tier Norway ride, but dang this is impressive.
>>83955958
That's because the facial animation is CGI rear-projection like the Dwarves in the Mine Train ride.
>>83955072

holy shit. as overrated as i find frozen to be, this is pretty impressive. disney's animatronics are always top notch.
>>83955037
Are those even animatronics?
Maybe they are holograms?
>>83956742
>holograms
No matter what Velma Dinkley tells you, they're not particularly effective as three dimensional images that obscure backdrops. Disney uses Pepper's Ghosts just like the Hatsune Miku concert did, and the fact the ride goes all around the figures proves they're physical props.
>>83955037
Honestly?
Has the same problem as a lot of Disney shit these days:
>sterile as fuck
>screens everywhere
>replaced a much better attraction
>recycled just enough from the old attraction to piss fans of the old attraction off
>ride itself is a boring, slow romp through Imagineer wank and not actually a ride
>half the fucking ride isn't even visually impressive, just a bunch of blue light shining on hologram screens
The animatronics are impressive, but nearly enough to carry it all. Disney seems to have completely forgotten how to make actual rides, which is a real travesty since they made some really cool shit in the past.
Granted, a lot of the classic Disney rides are the same slow gentle ride through scenes shtick, like Pirates and Haunted Mansion, but those are actually visually interesting to look at. This ride seems to have like three parts of note to it and I'd put virtually any scene in the Haunted Mansion above everything in this ride.
Honestly? In terms of modern Disney rides, the Cars ride is probably the best balance of impressive effects and scenery with actual fun movement I've seen outside of the Indiana Jones ride.
>>83957118
Remember when Disney World's MTWR was replaced with Winnie the fucking Pooh? A sad day, that was. I mean, they already ruined it in late '93 with those terrible slow, two-seat cars, but of course that just wasn't enough.
>>83957118
Shanghai's Pirates raised the bar significantly. Best blend of physical sets and screens I've ever seen.

>>83957281
That's pretty fucking great actually, yeah.
But over-seas Disneyland rides show us how, if it weren't for people so opposed to change, we'd have some amazing shit.
Walt fucking made Disneyland because he couldn't change his movies after he released them, he wanted to and regularly did update and change his rides with better shit. I don't know if I want them completely gutting everything to update Pirates to that, but just something would be nice.
>>83957660
I'd be fine with it replacing Florida's Pirates while Disneyland keeps the original classic.
>>83955731
>an attraction similar to ExtraTERRORestrial at Dinsney
That would be good.
I was thinking of a virtual reality experience, myself. To really put you all alone in the situation. But I guess if you go too literal then your just playing the game again, and it kind of defeats the purpose of attending an attraction.
How do you folks feel about computer graphics replacing animatronics? I've heard that it had something to do with how much it cost, but I really don't buy that
>>83958173
A projector looping with video clips is vastly cheaper to maintain then a robot.

>When the fnaf movie comes out I imagine it will be /co/ related.
You actually bring up a good question.
Are CGI created characters /co/ related?
Clearly the live action movie itself wouldn't be unless it was based on a comic or cartoon but are those random CGI aliens or monsters or whatever they might be /co/? They're animated afterall.
>>83909004

>>83956742
Animatronics with rear-projected faces. A technology they've used with the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train figures, Buzz Lightyear, Lumiere at the Belle's Enchanted Storytime thing at Magic Kingdom and the new Hatbox Ghost
FNAF movie will be /tv/'s problem.
Or maybe even /trash/'s.
>>83963320
See, that shit just looks too obvious to me.
If they could somehow figure out a way to do it where their fucking faces didn't glow so much it'd look better, but as of now it looks too fake.
>>83955037
Robot girls holding hands.......never holding yours ;_;
also I gotta admit the Let it Go scene and the giant snow monster are pretty cool.

20K is gone, but New Fantasyland is a GOAT replacement. Everything else in Magic Kingdoms about the same except for Snow White, Dreamflight, Timekeeper and Alien Encounter which are now a Meet and Greet, Buzz Lightyear, Monsters Inc, and Stitch.
If you have fond memories of Epcot, it might break your heart to go back.

No sir, I don't like it

Its so visually impressing but for some reason this takes away so much charm for me
>>83966519
It's far too fluid to fit with the rest of the body.
As counterproductive as it sounds, they need to downgrade the framerate make the animation less smooth for it to look more natural.
>>83955917
Chuck e looks so lonely. I also wonder why they wanted to phase out the other characters so bad. Its not like they were losing money producing them

Is there a strict definition of what does or does not count as animation?

Of course it'll be ghosts. Its always fucking ghosts.
Any sense of ambiguity went out the window after fnaf 1.
Not that I mind ghosts or anything, but horror is always less effective the more you know about the monsters.
>>83907325
slobro here, it's always ALWAYS hard to figure out what a mod will let be "related" I'd assumed that Dr. Horrible was /co/ material, but that day's mod said otherwise.

We have an agreement that puppets are /co/because no other board wants them

well, to be fair, puppet seems to be kept in one thread.

>>83972790
The "puppet" in those commercials is actually 100% CGI. They did a pretty gud job.
>>83970568
on the other hand the combination of Ghosts and Robotics is a combination that can lead to a surprising amount of diversity in threats hypothetically
>>83972635
the "furry" clause of Global Rule 3 does indeed need to be gotten rid of, it causes more problems than it solves these days(for example at least a third of /co/'s threads right now technically violate that part of GR3)
>>83943633I liked short circuit.
>>83973907
there's no shame admitting this
>>83973159
no furry outside of /b/ rule isn't going anywhere, thankfully.
>>83935577
Kek. That was barely watchable.
>>83963320
That (vaugely) reminds me of the dummy they used for Jacob Smith at Autoworld. They had real animatronics though, just not for the introduction.
I miss that place.

Look into how he screwed the writers for monster house. There's a reason only the first 40 odd minutes are good and the becomes unintelligible nonsense. "No, hear me out guys; what if the house is literally a monster!? And he goes around and wrecks shit!"

A lot of people say this helped make it creepier.
The fact that it's prerendered 3d tapped into the same nightmare realm that is 90's CD Rom games.

This is my all time favorite video on Youtube, made by the guy who created Rock-afire Explosion. He's a bit nutty but he makes good shit. I especially don't know what's up with the needles and explosion footage but it adds to the video.
Is Showbiz Pizza still a thing or are the Rockafire Explosion animatronics just standing around in a storage facility somewhere until their used again for cameos?
>>83987223
Showbiz Pizza is long gone.
Apparently there are still some resturaunt locations that still use Rockafire Explosion, but none of them are Showbiz Pizza
>>83915702
Seeing as I live in a place we're the chuck e cheese hasn't updated at all within 10 years (Portland) it's not surprising that I have no clue what the fuck this is, so /co/ what the fuck is this nightmare fuel?

It's a five hour wait to get on from what I've heard, granted it is better than the ride it replaced since the only reason to go on is because it's nice and cool on the norway ride and there's rarely a wait but really I'll admit those animatronic's are fucking amazing.
>>83988677
The Rock-afire Explosion, Showbiz Pizza Place's animatronic band. Showbiz was Chuck E. Cheese's rival that lasted from 1980 to 1990. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx37dCMi29w
>>83909118
I bet if CEC completely reverted to what it was circa-1981, it would get massive success. Like, I'm talking about reverting back to the characters' original personalities, voices, appearances, the style that the shows were presented in, bringing back the Dixieland motif, and having genuinely-funny and well-written shows that were targeted for families as opposed to just little kiddies.
>>83988937
why does it seem like they just made the lines up as the went along? seriously no wonder this thing bombed.
>>83989274
>why does it seem like they just made the lines up as the went along?
That's just the way it was. The characters had a realistic way of speaking. Also, Dook Larue (the dog) is supposed to be stuttering the way he does in the video. It's part of his character.
>this thing bombed
No it didn't. Everyone loved the Rock-afire Explosion back in the day, and many people still love it today. The only reason Showbiz isn't around today is because it was bought out by Chuck E. Cheese's, who converted all the locations into their own.
>>83989561
>The only reason Showbiz isn't around today is because it was bought out by Chuck E. Cheese's, who converted all the locations into their own.
Backwards, actually. Chuck. E. Cheese was bought out by Showbiz. Showbiz tried to get the exclusive rights to the Rockafire Explosion, but the guy who created the show was getting offers from other restaurants and turned them down.
So showbiz instead took the Chuck e. Cheese characters, who they owned outright, and retrofitted all the Rockafire Explosion shows into them.
>>83909232
>Which time?
Shit, they changed the voice multiple times? 2 and 3 are the ones I grew up with. I know 1 was changed, but not as radically as the recent one.
