Chuck E. Cheese 32m (Animatronic)

The Chuck E. Cheese 32m Animatronic is an animatronic figure created by Garner Holt Productions Inc. for Chuck E. Cheese's locations, manufactured from 1997-2001.

The bot is a gray mouse, wearing either the Late Night, Cool Chuck, Avenger, or Rockstar outfits. He is standing up, and does not hold anything. The Chuck E. Cheese 16m (Animatronic) was created in 2002 to replace the 32m because of costs.

History
After the failure of the Awesome Adventure Machine, the idea to replace Munch's Make Believe Band with only one animatronic was still being considered by Showbiz. In the late 90s, Showbiz reached out to a few manufactures one being Creative Presentations. But being unable to help Showbiz, they suggested that they contacted Garner Holt.

Showbiz commissioned Garner Holt Designs and Prototypes for the future Animatronic and settled on Garner Holt. After a few revisions, they commission their first 32 animatronics to be made.

The first appearance of this Animatronic was on October 3rd, 1997 for an invite only event at the Showbiz Pizza Time Corporate Office. Then was unveiled at the 1998 CEC General Managers Las Vegas Convention.
