When Chuck E. Cheese announced in May of 2024 that they were doing away withall but two of the animatronic bands that defined their brand of pizza-serving arcades since their inception, the company’s chief executive officer, David McKillips, toldThe New York Timesthat the change was motivated by the fact that “kids are consuming entertainment differently than they were 10, 20 years ago … kids, really of all ages, are consuming their entertainment on a screen.”

In other words,A Chuck E. Cheese Christmas is pro-ghost kitchen propaganda that, in keeping with the company’s animatronic band roots, includes a musical number where Chuck E. and his pals sing about how the world would be lost without Christmas. (Pasqually also “invents” a cookie pizza to serve to Santa Claus, so I assume that will be on the dessert menu at Chuck E. Cheese soon, if it’s not already.)

The best thing I can say aboutA Chuck E. Cheese Christmasis that it looks a little better than I would have expected given its origins, and a lot better than actual streaming animated junk like the NetflixMarmadukemovie.Mercifully, it’s also available for free on YouTube; my heart would break for anyone who had paid money to watch it. Then again, it does contain ads, meaningthere are occasional breaks forotherbrands’ commercials nestled insidethe 49-minute longform advertisement for Chuck E. Cheese you’re already watching. That, I guess, is the true reason for the season.
