Founded in 1980 by Creative Engineering, and descended from their previous animatronic band the Wolf Pack 5, the Rock-afire Explosion performed in Showbiz Pizza and became their main mascots, entertaining a whole generation of children up to the early 90's until concept unification, in which they were rebranded into Chuck E. Cheese characters (which I'm also a fan of!) These silly singing animatronics are my favorite thing in the entire world. Their shows were lifelike and authentic, and so was the animation! They were voiced by some of the most beautiful singers I've ever heard and the characters are charming and fun.
