Chuck E. Cheese Retires Iconic Animatronic Band After Nearly Five Decades

The beloved Munch's Make Believe Band will be removed from most locations by the end of 2024, making way for modern entertainment options.

The animatronic band will remain only in Los Angeles and Nanuet, New York locations.
CEO David McKillips describes this as the company's 'most aggressive transformation' to date.
New attractions will include giant TV screens, digital dance floors, and trampoline gyms.
The shift is driven by changing entertainment preferences among children.
Chuck E. Cheese was founded in 1977 by Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell.
