Chuck E. Cheese will remove its signature animatronic house band from all but two of its more than 400 U.S. locations by year's end.
"Chuck E. Cheese,""Helen Henny,""Mr. Munch,""Jasper Jowels," and"Pasqually," members of the animatronic band at the Chuck E. Cheese pizza center in Northridge, are photographed in action.To the likely delight of parents everywhere — as well as some seriously freaked-out kids — the Munch’s Make Believe Band is headed to the scrap heap. The animatronic group that has been a staple at the Chuck E.
The band known for its stilted movements and blinking, shifty eyes, will be replaced by giant TV screens, digital dance floors and trampoline gyms just a few years after the chain temporarily closed a number of locations during the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the summer of 2020. “Kids are consuming entertainment differently than they were 10, 20 years ago,” McKillips told the paper.
After mistakenly buying a rat costume — and briefly considering the name Rick’s Rat Pizza — Bushnell went with the friendlier name Chuck E. Cheese for the chain that opened its first outlet in May 1977 in San Jose, California.
