Circus Playhouse Animatronics

- A close up look at the only known (nearly) complete Circus Playhouse Band! Lionel is one of my favorite characters/animatronics and I was so amazed to see him in person, even though seeing him in this condition made me sad!! They are massive!
The owner claims they came from 'a pizza place that burned down' which would explain the amount of heat and water damage they appear to have. The faces (and in Ellie's case, her entire body) on these characters were made out of silicone, and all of it has turned to liquid melting all over them. Lionel is tied to the rafters because his body turn cylinder has become disconnected, causing him to fall forward. I'm saddened that they will not be restored back to their original condition, but I'm glad they weren't destroyed. I feel like most people outside the animatronic hobby would see their condition and just scrap them.

To be 100% honest, these characters are WAY better than the ones in Chuck E. Cheese. They're more thought out and original and of course more interesting, being they're all circus animals. I wish one day someone will remake these and they'll perform again.
I agree, I do like Pizzacam from Chuck E Cheese though
I’m a fan of Chuck E. Cheese but I can definitely agree, they seem extremely thought out! I would’ve loved to see them perform.
I agree
Same
I have the hole band. But Barneys mac vale is broken I ordered a new on. Besides that my set is in working order. And I have a fully working 3 stage Chuck-E-Cheese Jasper.
It bothers me how they're only going to be tossed into a haunted house. I wish these could be restored. Ive never heard of these before now. But its such a shame to see such beautiful pieces just get left to rot. If you're gonna buy them, why not at least try to get them restored? Even if they'll only be displayed and not used.
Such a shame.
100% agreed, fam.
I bet they looked fantastic in their best days, performing.
you guys do realize that this is all entirely fictional, right?
Brandon Otiz it’s not?
@@vhs-star yeah
Well they are still going to be used at least and not left to rot at least
Haunted house it better than rotting
It makes me sad to know that they're being to be in a haunted house especially since they were first made to make people happy, not horrified. It'd be lovely to see them restored.
Also, even though I've never heard this music it seems oddly familiar? Does anyone else feel like that?
100% It gave me a strong nostalgic feeling even though I’ve never seen any of them ever.
the “animals are people too” one seemed SUPER familiar but i have no idea where from...
@@atombones8269 The original creator(s) are still around. Disney Imagineer Larry Nikolai had a huge hand in building these characters and he's given me his blessing and help to get my set restored. The original company who created them is helping me as well. Everyone's in support of these shows being restored (except for the owner of these and FNAF fans)
CavitySam FNAF is what got me into animatronics first. I started looking through videos similar to this one showing broken animatronics until eventually they started making me upset. I started getting into restoration videos and videos exploring the history of Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese and now I love learning about them. I’ve seen a lot of people like me get into animatronics this way so for as many stupid 12 year olds who want creepy broken robots there are still people who just want to see characters given new life. I still consider myself a FNAF fan as I genuinely enjoy the games even though FNAF has tainted animatronics for many. I really hope you get your set restored and I wish you the best. I hope the owner snaps out of it and realizes that someone would pay good money to take these characters and give them the care they desperately need.
@@MacTonight do you have the bird one
I love these animatronics so much and it makes me sad and angry that they’ll never preform again ;(
If someone takes a LOT of time to fix them up maybe their work?
itz Haylee the only problem is the people who own them don’t plan on doing that ;~;
@@KarmaFKat the sad part is that the haunted house is just going to make people more scared of animatronics even though they are so cool!
Karma fKatt I agree I really wish I could’ve seen them in real life instead of Chuck E. Cheese
The elephant animatronic is the scary
I really wish there were more videos, pictures... ANYTHING about them!! I had no idea that there was a giraffe, bird, or elephant!! It's sad seeing them like this
Me too! I'm thankful for the few home videos we have and the beautiful high quality photos Larry Nikolai sent. I wish there were photos of them being built like there are for Tex!
Yes it is sad to.😢😖😔😿
Don’t forget the clown his identity was finally found
@@MacTonight Where are the home videos? On SP.com? 😯
@@MacTonight Where are the home videos? On SP.com? 😯
It’s honestly really disappointing to see all of these wonderful character with potential being used for a haunted house and not being restored at all. Hopefully sometime in the future they will be in better hands. They have so much potential and I’ve fallen in love with them just from the designs and the music in the background. They all seem so lively and great. They could definitely be restored if wanted.
I'd gladly offer my services for free if the owners ever wanted to restore them!
@@MacTonight Maybe if you talk to the owner and show them all of these comments supporting that they get fixed, they will allow you to make this. Please, consider this idea. It's a shame they are in such poor condition...I would totally toss my money in the owner's hands to see them performing. Please, give it a try...
The creator of this video stated in the description that they won't be fixed, and the owner probably retired already.
At that point i think i would be cheaper to just rebuilt these than restore them
Rebuild- them? Is not 🦆 cheaper- do u know everything u need? It takes millions to rebuild every circus playhouse animatronic. It's better to just restore! Cuz restoring is infact cheaper and ik bc I used to restore old animatronics until I got kicked out for looking at some Tex critters pizza jamboree robots-_-
I wish they where in working order I’d love to see them in great condition! :*)
the_cat_studios! ! The description says the won’t be repaired sadly
Me to
Me three !
@@accountaccount3359 Why not??
ThatOneIntrovert they are crispy burn
Can you imagine being the firefighters who attended this fire just to see these guys staring back at you from the smoke and flames?
don'T MAKE ME CRY NOOOOOO
I would try my hardest to save them.
I would hate that. It would be tragic
oh crap
I would fukin run through the fire to save em
This makes me genuinely sad to see, there really should be an attempt made to clean them up and restore what’s left.
They are watch his new videos
Lola looks far better than everyone else there. Perhaps she was stored somewhere else, because there doesn't seem to be much damage to her at all.
so... your not gonna mention her tail is on the floor?
And her jaw
Really cuz her tail fell off
I was born late 90s so before my time but I woulda loved these guys as a kid!
This is sad. What a charming song. They don't seem creepy at all. Unlike those Chuck e cheeses abominations.
These guys seem friendly!
Haunted house? That's lame. Restore them!
For the kids!
They got enough scary stuff to entertain them. I'm not even near 25 yet & even I could use some wholesome fun:(
Justin DePriest I’m still pretty little and I’m not scared of them at all!! I love them all very much no matter how ‘scary’ they are.
@Justin DePriest Judging by the kids I've exposed to animatronics... not so much. Little kids still seem to love them, even the freaky chuck e cheese rejects at the county fair (I think they were originally Rockafire units, but were 'restored' and not very well into new characters) get a ton of little kids watching them with delight.
@@MEKCreations wait? there are fairs that go around with animatronics?
They’re not abominations.
Weird
Im also afraid of these
It's a little crazy how I've never heard of any of this stuff. They've almost been lost to time. I just found out about Rock-a-Fire Explosion in 2014 & now I'm introduced to Circus Playhouse Restaurant. I was born in 1988, so I knew about Chuck E Cheese's from a young age. I enjoy robots & puppets because of that place & Sesame Street. Thank you for this video & the music. It's so much fun.
I see a animatronic grey fox that looks exactly like foxy
Yup..
Same
Seeing the animatronics in such derelict condition along with the music makes this all the more tragic...
For everyone who is wondering who is at 16:19 that isn’t whistles the clown that is actually a separate character named “Bouregard”
Interesting!
OMG HE IS AMAZING
i don't wanna see that thing and its burnt face.. It will give me nightmares.. THAT FACE! That BURNT rubber FACE!
he is the most burnt because he was close to the kitchen letting people know that there pizza it done
Underrated character ngl
They actually seem like they’d be really cute in working condition, it’s a shame they don’t work.
I didn't know they didn't work, I thought they were able to move still.
@@youraunt Nope they suffered through fiberglass body shell overheating, and water damage.
Goobitz V I hope atleast one of them still work :)
I like your pfp fellow kazuichi
@@fozi_tatoz5045 who?
I can't believe you found all those songs to go with them, I'm amazed
It's sad that people mostly associate animatronics with Five Nights at Freddy's. To see these animatronics taken to a haunted house instead of properly restored, and used for what they were meant for is truly sad.
Ture but for some people it makes them interested in animatronics
OMG, Lola is so beat up. I felt so sorry for her... 😢😢😢😢😢
Showbiz Productions it’s not like she knows though she is an object that moves
@@kaid709 i mean. They do have personality. If they were alive they would be suffering.
Is Lola the gorilla?
Or Dinasour
Dash the ice fox No, Lola is a leopard.
i love haunted houses, but i would never want these poor friends to only be destined to become objects of horror. it makes me so sad seeing them like this and knowing they're only going to use them to scare people, when they were built to make people happy (and they're so so cute). i wish someday they'd be restored instead of decaying in some haunted house somewhere, lost to time :((
These animatronics voices could be corrupted so we probably could've not hear them. So next time when the AVG fix them we could work the 90's animatronics! AVG please fix them!!!
@BBCCBBCCBEEBIESCITVFAN 2002 You're Right, closed in 2007
Did anybody notice a guitar leftover from The King, as well as a decal of Holli Would from Cool World behind Barney Bear?
I'm curious where the rest of that King went or why that guitar was with the band.
King was restored
You can go to his channel called the king
Yep
I am so confused
This is sad that they will not be getting restored and it's even sader that they'll just get in worse conditions
Thank you for posting this! It’s very detailed and through. There’s barely any information on these guys and it makes me so sad because I think these animatronics are the cutest. They weren’t creepy or unsettling like others at the time. Anyhow, thanks for posting this! very fascinating stuff. 🖤
SAME all the other animatronics at the time were so creepy! i would love to make an animation about them just to bring them to life. This group seemed like they'd be so cute and charming. Especially jerry giraffe. Its a shame to see them like this
Hearing that song in the back makes me so sad...they mustve been such a hit. Wish they were still in operation. I even caught myself singing along with the background music haha. Ive never seen animatronics with the little leg build like those...really creative
These animatronics deserve better and that's on that I really wish they could be restored such a shame!
It's a shame these guys were burned up like this. At least they were able to be salvaged.
They weren't. They are in horrible condition.
Oh man, kinda hurts me they won’t be restored, at least in the known future.
If these came from a burned down pizza place, i dont even want to think about what happend to the show tapes 😭
Well it can't be too bad, considering the music in the background is in great condition. I'm more worried about the animatronics.
could you imagine starting them all up again!?
There would be a lot of air leaks, and most of the movements would be stuck or gone.
I doubt you'd even be able to do that since the wires are probably fried due to water damage and the fire that happened. And even if you could start them up, the movements wouldn't work properly, if at all.
Honestly, a dream come true.
Why does it seem like every person who has these types of rare, nostalgic animatronics never want to fix them? They could have at least given them to someone who actually cares about them. Smh.
If I could, I would buy them and then give them for free to someone who has the skills to fix them. I mean, as much as I would want them, I would not be able to fix them.
It’s scary to know one was not found or is it possible the fire melted the entire thing
She actually may have been salvageable and used for something else. She was above the stage! I doubt it melted her entirely, if it didnt melt the plastic casings of the others it wouldnt for her.
plus somebody said there are different circus playhouse locations so this one might not have had batt e bird
Yikes bro
coldaker I don’t know because there’s the melted stuff on the chimp and others that maybe could be from her. Just a thought.
It’s a shame that more people who buy these aren’t restoring them. We need an animatronic museum that can preserve them and teach the public. They are such an important part of robotics history. I’m curious though: why are some of these covered in spilled paint? What the heck happened?
It's not paint, it's actually the rubber that was used for their faces. Over time it turned into liquid and melted everywhere
There is a museum called Smittys Super Service Station. Google the name for the website. You can also watch a video on UA-cam by Tuv. Search for the title I investigated abandoned animatronics. Very interesting stuff. I remember going to Circus Playhouse and had my 12 birthday party there. I could walk to it from my house so a lot of tokens were purchased! That was in the 80s. Miss that place. They had the best pizza sauce ever!
These are gorgeous animatronics it's so sad to see them like this.
Very gorgeous with this molten rubber everywhere
I cannot count how many times I was brought there!
Grew up in Ft Liquordale though- so it was the place in the 80s!!
I'd love to see these guys once the haunted house opens! (If it's nearby me, that is.) These guys are real survivors. I wonder if we'll ever find pictures of this seemingly one-of-a-kind Whistles animatronic back in his prime? :0
As much as it pains me knowing the only known set will be used for that, I'd gladly make a trip to go to the haunted house!
@@MacTonight I'm at least glad they're being used in some way instead of just being tossed away
were is it and how is it called?
@@thegovialjiraffe yeah, as much as I'm mad that they are being put into a haunted house, it's better than them just sitting In a basement gathering dust and slowly getting in worse condition.
I wish the big guys could get fixed up... They're truly one of a kind. Was that mold on them?
It's rubber! The faces were made out of silicone and over time it reverted back to liquid and melted all over and inside them. The same thing happened to my Tex Critter's show made by the same company.
@@MacTonight its a shame...
@@MacTonight were the animatronics burned down? Or abandoned.
@@Victim2Autopsy Abandoned
I really hope if the haunted house thing falls, they will repair these animatronics... Its so sad hearing their song over the footage of them all broken.
I like how they actually have bodies and legs that are shaped like their actual animal counterparts. Especially Leo's legs and chest.
I would very much like to see them restored though. Maybe after the haunted house they will be. Let's hope so.
"Yes we are!"
"By far!"
*Toad is that you*
its batt e bird
Circus Playhouse played a huge roll in my life as a child and I obsessed with it well into my teens. I never knew it burned down. We went there every weekend. Hearing this music again makes me feel closer to my mother who's passed
awwwe, I'm gonna hafta look up vids of these guys in operation, they look so cool! too bad I was either too young or simply couldn't afford to go where they played but it's cool of them to get new appreciation in this way :D
I tacked this delightful new band to my Furry OCs playlist, thanks so much! I love these songs~
Batt E Bird sounds like Toad from Super Mario kind of, I like that. And Lionels voice is nice too! The music in general is cool, I wish they would play somewhere again and get some love.
they don't deserve to be used at a haunted house :( they should be restored and maybe be a little attraction somehwere
It seems like they're being used for display/advertising in the shop nowadays. The owner seems to have other cool collectibles on display too.
It makes me sad to see them like this and them not getting restored. I've always been a fan of animatronics, especially singing animatronic bands like Rockafire explosion and Munches make believe band. I hope these guys will get restored and mabey the places will be brought back
Just literally found these recently and I can't stop listening to that intro music! I wish I coulda seen these guys, I'm a 90's kid but these are still so cool hopefully they will all be restored
I have so many questions when I watch these. Like... are the original designers, artists, or makers still alive or around? What do they think of this?
I know this particular person said they weren't to restore them but I often wonder if it's because it's a financial issue and if so, I truly do wonder if people made little donation jars or tip jars to go towards restoration costs, how many people would genuinely pull through to make that restoration possible? I think that'd be worth a shot in the near future.
The original designer of this show is Disney Imagineer Larry Nikolai, and in his Facebook post regarding the show he states that he's not fond of them at all.
I'm tempted to get the high quality photos of these characters printed up and send them to the owner of the show with a note on their history as well as an offer of my services for free should he ever decide to restore them.
@@MacTonight that's shocking and unfortunate but I suppose fair as an artist lol!
That sounds like a plan. I would love to see what you could do in matter of restoring them to their original glory. I still stand by it though, should they ever decide to refurbish them or have them done, I certainly think a donation jar would be a nice way for its supporters to help out as well! I know many would love to be a part of making that happen.
I agree! I would certainly donate toward that!
@@miniaturepaws Great idea. If one day that happens, count me in!
Even tho they're ruined they look in good condition better then other animatronics I've seen. I'd love to see them be restored
I almost cried after hearing the last song and seeing the images of the animatronics
I hate seeing this, and esp because they are being put into a haunted house and not being restored all these animatronics brought joy and happiness to lots of people #saveanimatronics
Between the water damage and burnt rubber, these guys have to smell awful. Still cool looking though.
They smell like.... Vintage

How did the razor blade get on the leg?
Putting old animatronics like the circus playhouse band or rock afire explosion in a Haunted house is abuse at that point
This hurts. Seeing such adorable characters in this condition really does make you feel bad.
I hope the owner changes their mind! I'd love to see them in your capable hands :) If there's ever a crowdfunding campaign to buy them off the current owner, I'd be more than happy to pitch in! Can't have my own animatronics because of space constraints, but I still want to see them thrive!!
Maybe they could even be traded for a CEC/similar band that's less historically significant? These guys are super beautiful, and I don't think the specific kind of animatronic would matter for a haunted house
I wish that these old gems would be restored.
This is kinda sad. As long as they made people happy, then they did their job.
They all look so cool! I wish they could be restored fully!
I wanna see them in action
Also they look good enough and not in the uncanny valley. Unlike Chuck E Chees where the animatronics look a bit...hmmm...
But...I read this band came from a pizza place that...burned down...
Oh dear I-
I really hope they find more of them because the music and robots are great and shouldn't be in a haunted house.
There was a Circus Playhouse in Jonesboro,Georgia back in the 80s. I remember these animatronic characters dearly! One of the better memories of my childhood was getting out of Atlanta and driving 20 miles south to Jonesboro to Circus Playhouse. They had good pizza too.
I never heard of these guys and I grew up in the 80’s. I wish that they were in my location. It would’ve been fun to have seen the show. Especially with the very catchy sound track they have. I do know that parts for their pneumatic systems are still available through Parker industry and their air cylinders and air regulators to. So there is a glimmer of hope if someone wants to take them and restore them back to their former glory.
Best friends in life, and in death- unknown
This is a great source for me, as I want to write about animatronics that have been neglected and have fallen into dissaray.
the first songs slaps ngl, but also they look so amazing!! it's a shame they are in the condition they are if they were restored it would be amazing. They're size is intimidating even watching a video of them! I wish I could know more about them I think they are a gem
These guys got flash banged back into my memory recently. Something about them when I discovered them years ago was nostalgic, and they’re even more nostalgic now
Ahoyhoy There, Fellow UA-camrino! These poor guys. I like the look of the animatronics. Their eyes are different from the Chuck or Rock a Fire animatronics.
No joke this made me cry seeing this 😭😭😭
This is so ridiculously spooky and heart-crushingly sad at the same time.
If these are going to a haunted house and nothing can change that, I have an idea for that guy. Fix up the mechanics inside of them, but keep the cosmetics the same, so they move and preform inside of the attraction, looking like that, with the right showtapes, that could be properly scary. Only problem is I'm not sure if the cosmetics would stay in useable condition during the process.
looks just like my melted billybob.
You have a Billy Bob?
Well he bought Arron's last Billy Bob so yeah!
well, i wish Aaron would fix lionel and his friends back up
I didn't know someone bought the last Billy Bob figure
@@dragonoidlover6164 What are you talking about? Aaron dosen't know these characters, their pneumatic system is different from the Rock afire.
Its such a shame what happened to these beautiful creatures.. I hope one day they can be completely restored
Lets hopebatt e birds is in the good hands of a collector ;:')
Hate to break it to you, but if batt-e bird wasnt found, it's probably burnt. Or crushed. Or just not found. The place burnt down.
I don't get why people insist on making animatronics scary. Tbh, it's really upsetting seeing people use these wonderful guys who were supposed to bring joy to scare people, especially seeing how these are some of the few circus playhouse animatronics to have been known to still exist.
Dam these are massive! It could be easy to replicate them (time consuming and cost consuming)
I hope someone will fix them eventually,, they're pretty cool.
What I saw of Lola she still looks pretty cute I’m really upset about what’s planned for their future
Maybe the People can fixing The Circus Playhouse Animatronics by re-modeling.
@XGolden Glitch FoxX It's okay, I will make a petition to bring Circus Playhouse back to life.
@XGolden Glitch FoxX And also, can you join the Q&A meeting?
@XGolden Glitch FoxX Jnet Egiziaco is starting the Q&A. So you want to join us?
Despite the fact that Im terrified of animatronics these guys look great, and I’d actually enjoy seeing the show, they look so friendly
How much would it cost to build them again?
yet another group of celebrities ruined by drugs
You were the Circus Playhouse band
You were the best animatronic band
I wish I could've seen you
I want you all to know
I want to be your friend
Good job with your show
This gives me lore into fnaf irl. Imagine. It's also so cool to see how time has affected these amazing and perfect pieces of heaven.
Some weren't too bad. Others were haunting. Always interesting seeing the actuator and mechanics of an anamatronic. Wonder what tech they used.
📞”The animatronic characters here do tend to be a bit quirky at night.” But these animatronics deserve to be restored, what a shame that they were messed up by a fire. I ❤️ Lola Leopard
Am I the only one who found the beginning eerie, with how there’s a picture of a happy cartoon lion and the text is about how the animatronics were burnt?
It's awful just seeing these perfect pieces of machinery in such horrible condition 😔 I wish I could just fix them all.
They deserve a restoration, these are better than the Chuck E Cheese ones
i dont know if its just me but id love to go to an animatronic show, depending on the theme and stuff. This is something id like to watch.
Wow!! I'd love to visit them too, sometime
I've never heard of them. They're adorable! The songs are put together so well. I wonder where those voice actors are now.
This was mesmerizing to watch...the distored music really added to it
I wish they could have been left in better condition, but I too am glad they were not destroyed!!! What year are they from?
*not so scary* meh it ain’t that bad *animatronics falling apart with distorted faces* ok thats actually scary but meh *Batt E. Birds location unknown* now I’m sleeping with the lights on
It's sad to see Anamatronics in this condition 😢. I love Anamatronics but when they are abendoned or not working anymore it's sad...
How exactly did these animatronics work? Was it the typical Showbiz/CEC method, with pressurized air controlling the movements?
I gotta say out of all of the Circus Playhouse Band Animatronics at 0:31 Lola seems to be the only one who isn't that damaged I mean her jaw is the only thing broken and burned but overall she seems to be the most repaired on to be!
If i saw these guys at a haunted house, i would break down with happy tears. I absolutely adore animatronics, especially rockafire explosion.
why did they have such sharp teeth..? They could have been flatter- quite odd but.... interesting.
I would give my right eye tooth to refurbish these beauties!
Dude this is so sad they look more cooler then the chuck n cheese animatronics
Sad to see Batt.E.Bird be unknown location wise. Hope it hasn't been demolished somewhere or just overall lost to the fire
It honestly is so heartwrenching to see creations meant to inspire joy and fun in such a state. Is there any information on that humanoid one? It's clearly meant to be a human, I'd think that within the context of the songs, a clown, perhaps? I've never seen or heard of a humanoid animatronic from that timeframe, though, not that i've been researching this much at all yet.
It’s a clown!! He’s a part of the band, he was mostly a comedic side character. He got burnt
if no one is gonna restore them I guess ill do it myself. Time to draw!
I AM GONNA HAVE THAT SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD ALL WEEK I-

Amazing!! Wow that's .... just wow 🤩!!
I want to make one like that!!
