Chuck E. Cheese's was founded by the one and only Nolan Bushnell in 1977 and Chuck E. himself was 'transformed' into a mouse (He was originally a cigar-smoking Bronx rat) in 1995 when the showtapes (the tapes for the animatronic shows) were being produced by Disney, what were considered by CEC fans as 'garbage'!
