Hello Retro Pizza Zone! I am glad to have found the website after doing a simple google search. I am hoping to learn more about animatronics than I already know about them. I know a few things thanks to fnaf but I want to know how they work realistically and what makes them operate. There are a few questions I want to know to help me get started: 1.) How long does it take to make a basic animatronic? 2.) What tells or makes the animatronic's part's move? 3.) Was there any inspiration in Chuck E Cheese's Design? |

Welcome to the board. RetroGirl's thread is a great place to start for animatronics advice. As far as your third question, do you mean his original design or one of the later designs? His original appearance was probably a collaboration between several different people. The FNAF characters are most likely based on the full body 1-2 stage CEC animatronics, which came much later. There's a lot of fascinating history behind CEC on the site but to make a long story short, Nolan Bushnell had an idea for a restaurant with animatronics and an arcade. He went to an amusement industry trade show looking for character ideas and ordered what he thought was a coyote costume. He had it shipped home, but it turned out to be a rat. He wanted to call the place Rick Rat's Pizza until the marketing team got wind of the name. So he told them to come up with a new name that sounded happy. Thus Chuck E. Cheese was born.
