Winchester Pasqually (Animatronic)

Winchester Pasqually was an animatronic featured at the San Jose, CA (370 S Winchester Blvd) Pizza Time Theater. It would be used from the location's opening until it was replaced by the standard Cyberamic model in 1980.

History

Winchester

Pasqually debuet on May 17, 1977 along with the rest of the Winchester animatronics. When the location first opened, Pasqually was used to call out pizza orders for pickup with the use of a microphone. This was dropped quickly, as orders were placed too quickly for employees to constantly use Pasqually. Pasqually was placed behind double doors, and would emerge from behind them, giving the illusion of popping out of the kitchen.

In 1978, Pasqually would be given a small copyright plaque on his frame, labeled "© Pizza Time Theatre Inc. 1978".

Removal

In 1980, Pasqually, along with all the other animatronics were removed from the location and replaced with the standard Cyberamic model. Pasqually was moved to the Pizza Time Theatre Sunnyvale, CA Corporate Office, alongside the other retired Winchester animatronics. He would remain there until Pizza Time Theatre vacated the building following their bankruptcy. He would be saved along with Winchester Chuck E. Cheese V2 and Winchester Jasper T. Jowls by Jul Kamen.

Corporate Move and Destruction

In the 1990's, CEC Entertainment borrowed the portrait bots from Jul Kamen to use in a room dedicated to CEC's history, the plans for which would never move forward. The bots were instead used as a display piece in the Showbiz Pizza Time Corporate Office until 2004.

At an unknown time during their stay at the office, the bots would be given different clothes and cosmetics. Pasqually would have all of his original clothing replaced with 3-Stage Pasqually cosmetics, including the bot's latex hands, and the revised chef's toque.

In 2004, the building would undergo a remodel. The bots were removed as a result, and ordered to be destroyed (rumored to be by Gene Cramm), as per CEC's de-identification policy. Jasper and Pasqually were destroyed, but Chuck E. Cheese was rescued by employees. Jul Kamen was not compensated for their destruction.
