Farewell, Chuck E. Cheese Animatronic Band

Chuck E. Cheese Phasing Out Animatronic Band for Transformation #

Chuck E. Cheese is undergoing a major transformation, which involves phasing out the animatronic band that has been a mainstay for decades. By the end of 2024, the performances of Munch’s Make Believe Band will be discontinued at all but two of the chain’s locations. The move comes as the company adapts to a modern era, catering to children’s changing entertainment preferences. Chuck E. Cheese is investing in more screens, digital dance floors, and trampoline gyms instead. The changes were prompted by the pandemic-induced closures and the company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 2020.
