History

The Studio C concept originally debuted in December of 1997 as a brand-new show idea intended originally to replace all Munch’s Make Believe Band stages which featured one Chuck E. animatronic, and a little parrot named Bird. This setup was called the Studio C Alpha, and featured Chuck E. and Bird in a late night talk show studio, complete with a light-up desk, a ‘Pizza Time’ clock, a pizza phone, an Interactive Console, and a Blue Screen with a camera. The bird was later included in the Studio C Prototype stage. This stage featured Bird on a taller perch than what was on the Studio C Alpha. This stage would be the last to feature Bird though, as future iterations of Studio C would not feature him.

Movements

The bot features 4 movements in total.
