I mentioned I’d post about the animatronics at my job a while ago, so here we are.
(My video)
In total, the stage consists of 14 animatronics, all of which run on pneumatics.
The left side has a stage that used to lift along with the other two during shows, but it’s been broken and stuck under the floor. The only part of it visible is the corn with the “6” tag on it.
I was able to find the company that produced them ; Chuck-n-Mation, a Canadian-based group that’s been producing displays “since the early 80s” but went public in 2002.
I’m unsure if they’re still in business, as the webpage was last updated in 2018 and the copyright displayed is dated 2002-2017. The only way to tell would be to try and call or email them, which I’m not going to do (it would probably be awkward/weird).

Also from the same producers, the place I work at has another one of their pre-made shows.
I don’t have any good photos that I took, but I noticed that on the company’s gallery tab, they have some photos that look like they’re “my” location (2 shown below).
Yeah, had a good time researching this, neat that I was able to find these guys! Thought that some of you online might find this interesting, since I know there’s a bit of a fanbase for animatronics.
