Hot Fudge was an animatronic band based on puppet characters from the children's TV series of the same name that was tested in six Pizza Time Theatre locations. The character names were different at each location and names were chosen in local contests. However, it should be noted that the characters in the Clawson location used their names from the show. The Hot Fudge shows were only installed in the following locations:
- Clawson, Michigan (Characters: Mona, Seymore, Mr. Kootch)
- Warren, Michigan
- Okemos, Michigan
- Warwick, Rhode Island
- Danvers, Massachusetts
- Ann Arbor, Michigan
History[]
The animatronics created for the Hot Fudge stage were created by Elnicky Enterprises (owned by Hot Fudge series producer and puppeteer Bob Elnicky). They were temporarily installed into new Pizza Time Theatre locations between 1983 and 1984 (after the TV series' run ended) during a time when there was a shortage of Balcony Stage animatronics for their restaurants during Pizza Time Theatre's bankruptcy period[1].
