I've been to a Chuck E Cheese, and it's really, really boring. The pizza tastes like crap, the arcade games suck and the band just can't sing or play instruments well.
You are absolutely right. My maker created us smooth and fluid and with latex masks to give us more lifelike expressions. Come Concept Unification, the costumes were made cheaper and because they are so old they barely move.
Also, later on another engineer made versions that barely moved at all, eventually moving to a single Chuck E. animatronic with only about 16 total movements.
It was. Our pizza was actually GOOD. Our games were actually GOOD. But out of nowhere Chuck comes along, steals my friends, serves his own pizza, offeres his own games, and renames the whole restaurant to his name.
Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E Cheese should have been seperate restaurants, and if they were beside each other, Chuck E Cheese would shut down immediately.
But then again, if we still played we would have probably suffered the same fates: Bad pizza, bad games, barely working animatronics (eventually cut down to just a single modernized Billy Bob) and CGI versions of ourselves that have been redesigned for commercials.
