Statler and Waldorf: Muppet*Vision 3D - Hollywood Studios Disney World, Disney California Adventure (formerly)

Propaganda:

"Waldorf: “Do we have time to go to the bathroom before the next show?” Statler: “We can’t, you old fool. We’re bolted to the seats!” These animatronics are the next best thing to having the real puppets sitting there in the balcony doing what they do best--heckling the Muppets."

I made this meme for me, but y’all can see it too

[funnyfaceflea]

so ever since ive been getting back into animatronics (pizza time theater, rockafire explosion) ive had this question in mind ever since fnaf got me into the rich history behind them

full description of choices

Positive: Brought more people wanting to save old animatronics, more nostalgia and interest into the scene, more awareness and efforts to save old animatronics

Negative: Caused people to not take animatronics seriously anymore, only viewed them as scary and just to be the butt of jokes by people and especially, (mostly young) kids, animatronics not being desired anymore by entertainment facilities/attractions and parks due to the interest in the games

personally i think their are both positives and negatives to fnaf's impact on the animatronic scene. for me fnaf has made me care a lot about animatronics and their history, especially the cec/showbiz and disney ones (it was my cranium command hyperfixation that triggered it to come back again recently thank u buzzy) but i would love to hear your thoughts!

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! The advent of electricity has allowed for so, so, so many inventions and innovations to our daily lives. As a lover of inventions, innovation, and human progress, Walt Disney wanted to make a whole section of Disney dedicated to literal lightning in a bottle called "Edison Square". That didn't happen but Walt would take a lot of Edison Square's ideas and incorporate them into an attraction for the 1964 New York World's Fair called "Progressland". When the World's Fair ended. "Progressland" would be moved to Disneyland and then Walt Disney World under a new name that was cooler and didn't sound as much like "Tomorrowland", The Carousel of Progress. The attraction itself is not what most people would call a carousel i.e. a spinning platform with a bunch of rideable animals that bob up and down. It is built on a spinning platform though, just one that houses a theater. Six separate theater boxes to be exact, rotating multiple audiences through each show scene of a single family enjoying new-fangled technologies in four different decades from phonographs at the turn of the 20th century to voice activated appliances in 1993. Yeah…sadly, for a show about the wonders of the future, this attraction is rather dated, having not received a major since that year. Still, it definitely maintains that spirit of innovation and the promise of a better tomorrow and that has allowed it to endure for all these years. So long in fact, that it holds the record for the longest-running stage show in the history of American theater. Quite impressive (though less so considering all the actors are animatronics)! I do hope it gets that major refurbishment some time in the future but even without it, I'll still say that Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress is still worthy of being called wonderful It's a great big beautiful tomorrow indeed. P.S. Speaking of which, I also love the song for this attraction titled "There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow". If "When You Wish Upon A Star" is the theme song for the Walt Disney Company, then this is the theme song for the man who founded it. Optimism is a pretty powerful thing.

Aziraphale: Please leave all emotional attachments at the door! Thank you! Have a blessed day!

Crowley: For somebody’s sake, what did they do to you?

Aziraphale: Watch your step coming out of the elevator. Have a blessed day!

Crowley: No.. you’re not him. You’re not even an Angel. You can’t be. You’re some kind of.. clone. Or a hologram.

Aziraphale: What?! No, I can assure you I am a real Angel! Maybe we’re having a bad connection, I’m terribly sorry about that.

Crowley: Just tell me you’re Aziraphale. My Angel.. Just say that… Please.

Aziraphale: … I am a real angel.

These are all of the FNAF2 phone calls from Phone Guy.

The first night, there is mention of another security guard who worked at that location during the nightshift. He was moved to the dayshift after complaining about the animatronics coming into his office. There is also mention of the Toy animatronics being tied to a criminal database in order to recognize predators.

The third night, there are mentions of "tragic rumors" surrounding the restaurant. The dayshift guard from before reports nothing unusual happening during the day, and apparently he is on watch from opening until closing...

Night four mentions an investigation going on at the restaurant. Fazbear Entertainment denies any wrong-doing. Phone Guy notes that the animatronics' facial recognition software has been tampered with, as they are giving death stares towards any adults they encounter.

Night five mentions the restaurant being on lockdown with no employees (especially previous ones) being allowed in or out, and Phone Guy mentions the dayshift guard position suddenly being available. Fredbear's Family Diner is also briefly mentioned, and that the original owner hasn't been heard from in ages.

Night six mentions that someone used a yellow animatronic suit for something, and now none of the animatronics are acting "right".

So, for those who don't know, allow me to sum it up for you:

William Afton - who was only known as Purple Guy when this game was first released - disguised himself as a security guard and worked the night shift at the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which opened in 1987. He used a spare Spring Bonnie suit to kill five children, just like he did at the previous Freddy's two years prior. He stuffed these five kids into Toy Freddy, Toy Chica, Toy Bonnie, Funtime Foxy (who I assume became Mangle AFTER this incident), and Balloon Boy. He also altered the facial recognition software of the animatronics so they wouldn't recognize him as a criminal. When this wouldn't stop the animatronics from attacking him at night, he complained, and was moved to the dayshift. Then Fazbear Entertainment discovered what he did and, instead of cleaning up their mess, they covered it up and essentially banned Purple Guy from their establishments. The new Freddy's was closed, and they decided to refurbish the Withered animatronics and open in a smaller location, presumably the original location of the old Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

This was the second Missing Children's Incident. The problem is, it's not made very clear in later games what became of the second set of missing children, so they get overlooked easily in favor of the first set of missing children. We don't even know the names of the kids from the second group.

Also these two kids from the FNAF 4 minigame might have been the kids who became Toy Chica and Balloon Boy... look at what they have with them:

A balloon for the boy, and a Toy Chica doll without a beak for the girl...

Before you all wonder why I'm posting this, it's because at least one person asked. I'm answering to the best of my ability.
