The Robotic Ghost Furries of “Five Nights At Freddy’s”

There is now a 2023 movie based on the popular video game, Five Nights At Freddy’s. For those who have been living in a cave, Freddy’s envisions a closed and decaying 1980’s kiddie pizza emporium much like Chuck E. Cheese’s where the animal-resembling members of the house robotic entertainment band continue unnaturally to lumber around, stalking and killing intruders on the premises…

Now I’ve seen one of these animal robot bands performing in Florida, and it was creepy, because budget-level animatronics do not approach Disney World standards, and the robotic animal performers don’t move fluidly. Because of this, cartoon-like animal robots make suitable fodder for horror movies, kind of like Jason or Freddy with creaky hydraulics…

I’m usually not a fan of video games turned into movies, but this one is not without its moments, probably because I am a damn furry, and likely wouldn’t mind spending my afterlife as Foxy, the robot pirate-fox. Just be kind to him, because he’s been knocking around since the 1980’s unattended and without proper maintenance. Foxy is the worse for the wear, much like I myself…

The robots, ‘ya see, are inhabited by the spirits of deceased children who mysteriously vanished. While they are murderous, their mayhem is not graphically rendered on screen, and one reviewer termed this an introduction to horror movies for the video game generation, “baby’s first horror movie.” There are some novel concepts here, even if the film itself is not especially scary. This probably would have been better suited for presentation on the SyFy channel instead of the big screen, but it did play well in theaters. Similar themes were developed in The Banana Splits Movie, which didn’t have a video game pedigree. But catch this one on Amazon Prime if you have it. It’s fun, but won’t haunt your dreams. It just can’t be taken seriously, but there’s nothing wrong with that, and robotic furries are a kick…

(Foxy’s looked better, but haven’t we all?! And I could definitely get into the Robo-pirate fox scene, yarr! Lower yer flag and stand by to be boarded by the scourge of the Seven Seas, Matey!) 🦊
See y’all at Freddy Fazbear’s…or maybe the funny papers!

I didn’t see this in theaters any more than I saw the b*****d******n of the Banana Splits. Give me a rerun of the early 1970’s feature-length made-for-SaturdayTV movie, anyday!

I am, of course, referring to “The Banana Splits In Hocus-Pocus Park”. It started out live-action, but became fully animated after the band passed through a magic mirror to resuce a girl named Suzy from a wicked cartoon witch. And, in retrospect, that was kind of the reverse of another movie from that same ABC program: “Daffy Duck Meets The Groovy Ghoulies.” Filmation’s funniest monsters chasing a Phantom of the Opera-type villain through a live-action parallel Earth in their attempt to recover some of the Warner Brothers’ furries’ rarest cartoons!

OOPS! My bad. That should’ve read “…rescue a girl named Suzy…”

Yes, indeed. In fact, Saturday morning cartoons in general (which ruled as children’s programming for almost forty years) were criminally underrated. At least as far as I’m permanently concerned.

Anyone past their mid-teenaged years would be ashamed to be seen viewing “Freddy’s” in a theater. In the privacy of my home, however, I’m shameless in what I’ll view! 🤭
