The ***Winchester Pizza Time Theatre Show* was a set of animatronics built exclusively for the first Pizza Time Theatre location at [[San Jose, CA (370 S Winchester Blvd)]] and used from May 17th, 1977 to sometime between 1980 and 1981 when they were replaced with [[Cyberamics]].
The show consisted of the main characters and moving props placed along the bannisters of the showroom, with the [[Winchester Warblettes (Animatronic)]] hung below the ceiling.**

== History ==

All characters were produced by [[Fantasy Forest]], mainly by its owner Harold Goldbrandsen. Fantasy Forest was previously a mascot costume manufacturer, making the Winchester show their first animatronic products created. Atari's Cyan Engineering (also known as the Grass Valley Team) would handle the creation of the [[Winchester Control System]], headed by Larry Emmons and Gary Waters.<ref name="cep1">[https://archive.org/details/atariincbusiness0000gold/page/328/mode/2up?q=theatre archive.org]</ref>

== Animatronics ==

The [[Chuck E. Cheese Proof of Concept Prototype (Animatronic)]] was initially built as a concept piece for the location, but was never intended to be used inside the building.
The main animatronics and their locations were:

* [[Winchester Chuck E. Cheese V1 (Animatronic)]] (South West Corner)
* [[Winchester Crusty the Cat V1 (Animatronic)]] (South East Corner)
* [[Winchester Pasqually (Animatronic)]] (North Bannister)
* [[Winchester Jasper T. Jowls (Animatronic)]] (East Bannister)
* [[Winchester Warblettes (Animatronic)]] (Hung below ceiling in the
center)
* [[Winchester Pizza Time Orchestra (Animatronic)]] (Along East and South
Bannisters)
* [[Winchester Flag Wavers (Animatronic)]] (Along all Bannisters)
* [[Winchester Applause Board (Animatronic)]] (West Bannister)

Both Chuck E. and Crusty would receive upgraded designs with more movements in August of 1977.

* [[Winchester Chuck E. Cheese V2 (Animatronic)]]
* [[Winchester Crusty the Cat V2 (Animatronic)]]

Additional guest characters would appear on the west side of the showroom.

* [[Winchester Helen Henny (Animatronic)]] (August 12, 1977)
* [[Winchester Madam Oink (Animatronic)]] (February 1978)
* [[Winchester Foxy Colleen (Animatronic)]] (October 1978)
