Where do old robot shows go to die?

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Needs some Disco Yeti.

Is it sad that I find those Bollywood AAs more animated than any Disney has given us in the past 5 years?

those things were popular in the 80's when you needed a whole lab of analog sound equipment to program them. but they seem to have died out with themed restaurants.

I have seen a video on youtube thou where some nut bought and repaired a whole show and out it in his living room. mostly digging parts out of trash bins and landfills.

I guess some dont want to leave childhood memorys.

I'd rather get a train or chemistry set myself.

Wow, Showbiz Pizza.

That's one I haven't thought of in a quite a few years personally. Although I hear there is a restaurant up here in the frozen north that still has a fully running show, someplace in West Virginia.

My favorite, though they didn't have any animatronics, was Farrels. But then, I think I have posted that on here before.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
