I'm so glad I was a 2000s kid; I grew up with the best era of Chuck E. Cheese, (and pretty much everyone else) the Avenger era. This design was so iconic and perfect. They really shouldn't have changed to the Rockstar era. I like the latter era, but I still wish this one was still around today. I missed seeing the animated sponsor commercials on TV as a kid, the costume in the restaurants, and Duncan Brannan's squeaky voice with the New Jersey accent. The company itself got rid of the iconic tokens, tickets, and worst of all, the animatronics. They took away all these from the very beginning. They're remodeling all their stores now, and it looks so bland now. They went from a unique playland to a generic pizza arcade. It's just not the same anymore. :'(

No more sadness, just a little nostalgic picture I drew. I am a huge CEC fan, btw. ;)
