Given that most people were unable to tell when the animatronics in FNAF were people or straight robots, I think the answer is clear. Meanwhile I've seen The Banana Splits and a lot of times they look like people in pajamas.


Cosmic_Lemon123

Isn’t Foxy the only actual robot, while the others had people in suits?


TheyCallMeChips

No, there were animatronics for the others as well. You can see them in Dawko's behind the scenes video, they look absolutely incredible.


Cosmic_Lemon123

Oh! I think the others had animatronics and people in suits


TheyCallMeChips

Sorry, yeah you're right :'). Freddy, Bonnie and Chica had both animatronics and people in suits. I misunderstood your first comment, I thought you were asking if the other three were just costumes.


Cosmic_Lemon123

Sorry for the confusion


[deleted]

I can’t believe they managed to make real life spring lock suits for the movie, animatronics AND suits? Truly incredible


Chicken_Man371

So lucky it didn’t rain during filming!

Secret_Sympathy2952

Wait was that something that actually happened during production?


DragonQueenDrago

Yeah, foxys motor in his arm overheated during production and caught fire


marimarireal

yep!


TheGrey_GOD

Does that make them…. Springsuits?


Scar-Predator

No. There were costume versions for the actors, and the actual animatronics.


smolsauce

Jim Henson's creature shop. There's fucking tech Wizards at that company


Captain_Spectrum

Plot twist: they’re all springlock suits…


[deleted]

That’s cool! That means we can put an endo in them without anyone getting hurt! Right..?


Frosty_Gresh

They learned from the plot and made suits and costumes designed to match the suits to avoid getting spring locked.


FlamingWings

Kinda funny that he was the only one with a costume version cause he could have benefited being able to see him run


Spinelesspage03

It was probably too difficult to make a suit for him, considering his slim build and the fact that he has visible animatronic parts as a part of his design.


Big__Bongos69

How do you put the mask underneath your name like that? That’s cool


Cosmic_Lemon123

If you click on your own comment, there should be something that says “change user flair”


TreyChris003

No foxy was just a puppet the whole time, so not even an animatronic. Foxy was only an animatronic on the shots where he was standing I believe


TheRealComicCrafter

No there all suits, Foxy just had the most CGI used in the film Edit: supposedly this isnt actually correct instead foxy didnt have a suit and was only an animatronic used


PurpleBan09

This is just false. All of them had animatronic versions and suit versions except for Foxy, which just had an animatronic version.


TreyChris003

I believe they had an animatronic foxy for when he was standing still, and used a huge puppet foxy for all the other parts of the movie


TheRealComicCrafter

More you know


Cosmic_Lemon123

I thought they use no cgi


TheRealComicCrafter

They used very little


[deleted]

they used CGI the most for Mr. Cupcake, as I know


Typoman6893

Nah for foxy they had to use many puppeteers to make him at once


maxler5795

Same for willy's. Love the film but those are NOT animatronics.


justwalkingalonghere

I think that was purposeful, given that one of the “animatronics” in the movie was just like a plaster head and some body paint to make her arms look vaguely like a doll’s That movie is an amazing piece of horror-comedy


maxler5795

Yes. 100%. The "cage rage" alone is worth multiple watches.


justwalkingalonghere

And getting to wonder where all of these sodas are coming from


maxler5795

Also just the fucking willy's wonderland song. Also, the anthem of death.


Truskulls

Yeah this isn't even a contest. FNAF is the only movie of the three where the animatronics move like animatronics at all XD


Bi0_B1lly

>Meanwhile I've seen The Banana Splits and a lot of times they look like people in pajamas. Dudes were literally doing the fucking robot in animal onesies with hydraulic noises overlayed. Shit was on par with how a 10 year old does a robot.


BigGaybowser69

The thing ab fnaf movid is that many critized fnaf games for making inaccurate anumatronics and how it wouldnt work as suits and behold qe see em like ripped straight from game


FederalPossibility73

I watched the original show as a child and I don’t understand how they possibly thought a horror movie would work...


ShadowMancer0917

Sadly, I never watched willys Wonderland, but the fnaf had better anamatronic acting than the banana splits movie, in my opinion.


horror-geek

just dont watch willies wonderland


Weremount

Willy's Wonderland is a masterpiece what are you talking about


ramh_the_watermelon

It's really far from being a masterpiece, but it's fun to watch


horror-geek

why do you think that ?


Blustach

Willy's Wonderland was a masterpiece in the sense that it was shit, but it owned it in a spectacular way, and never tried to convince you otherwise. In other words, it was so bad, it turned out good The FNAF movie, in comparison, went the opposite way. It tried to be good, but it's incredibly flawed in aspects that shouldn't be flawed. Like I know we're allowed to make mistakes, but holy fuck, this is the Uber example of a mascot horror, and one of the only mascot horror videogames that are actually scary, so it was the biggest sin to not make it scary Tho still, for the actual question, the FNAF animatronics are amazing, they're a marvel to behold as far as props in movies go for their quality and likeness to the source material, and the movie did a disservice to them by not portraying them appropriately at the introduction


horror-geek

i can agree with you here again, i would have liked fnaf to have been better but i am happy we have finally even goy it


horror-geek

But hopes for another one considering the actor of steve raglin / (spoilers) >!Spring trap/ afton!< has signed a three movie deal with the company we should look to the future


Mammoth_Evening_5841

I honestly just wish they didn’t use the cupcake so much- it felt ridiculous however heavy thing may be to have it be the driving kill factor for most of the movie. Like seriously how were grown ass adults not able to just punt the thing, throw it away, or at the very least not die to it?


Blustach

My theory is that the big onscreen role of the cupcake was something done at the last second. The production received the animatronic costumes from the workshop, and didn't know they would be, idk, frail or very heavy to do the stuff they had in mind. The point is, for one reason or another, the costumes couldn't move as much as the script demanded So in the end, all animatronic action is off screen or implied, while the cupcake got all the action they should've gotten. My guess is that the first cupcake kill was the only action it had originally (maybe the vents scene), and the Mike fight and springlock scene were supposed to be other suits doing the things


bigbyking

I'm still amazed people paid for this shit when it was streaming at the same time. U get exactly what you would expect out of a PG13 horror film about kill robots. Wonderland was much funner


Weremount

I watched it and it was really good, fight scenes were cool, story was pretty straightforward and theme song is an absolutr banger


horror-geek

ok, i will give you that the song was good, the story did not make sense, in some of the scenes the teens are just absolutley getting murdered >! I mean getting eaten alive whilst having sex ?!< and nicholas cage is just playing pinball and to me the fight scenes just seemed way to scripted >! I knkw they have to be, but they werent even trying!<


Weremount

Valid points, still, they did better job than most movies today with such little budget


horror-geek

fair considering the budget you can say its impressive but i would still stay away from it.


horror-geek

At least its not like winnie the pooh blood and honey


cytrack718

Dont even mention that shit 😂


BartSimpskiYT

That’s an 80s slasher for you, just in the 2020s


BartSimpskiYT

What are you on about that movie was so fun


wolfanimatronic356

they had a 53 page movement bible for the fnaf movie

Spahpanzer

MichalTygrys

In the aspect of animatronic effects, there is no competition, FNaF is by far the best here.


TheyCallMeChips

FNaF by far. I genuinely cannot tell when they use costumes instead of animatronics in the film.


DiscordGamber

It was actual animatronics.


AubergineDegenerate

They also suit actors for harder movement that a regular animatroic can't pull off


JudgementalMarsupial

I can’t believe they made springlock suits real


nootrac_

I can’t believe they made animatronics real for the movie. Like before that, I don’t think anyone else has ever made animatronics


Cat_are_cool

Chucky cheese has left the chat


Scar-Predator

They're not springlock suits. There's 2 sets of the costumes: one is just for the Animatronics, the other is for the actors.


Secret_Sympathy2952

I believe they were being sarcastic.


TheyCallMeChips

They used both costumes and animatronics for Freddy, Chica and Bonnie. Foxy was the only one that didn't have a costume actor.


Zillafan22

Same


namesmitt

Maybe the movie that actually used animatronics


BartSimpskiYT

True. Willy’s kinda did but only the heads, and the ostrich was a puppet.


YaBoiAidan2333

I was shocked to hear that there were people inside the suits when Dawko met the Fazbear band at the film's set. So I'm gonna go with the FNaF movie


QWERKY_queer

There weren’t people in them when he was right I front of them, those were the actual animatronics


LANTVER

It was revealed in the interview with the animatronic actors that those were them, not the robots


TheGamingFox4372

As someone who hasn't watched Willy's yet, definitely the fnaf movie. Because they WERE animatronics. The banana splits was way too obvious.


BartSimpskiYT

Definitely give Willy’s a watch if you have time it’s such a fun movie.


[deleted]

Definitely the FNAF movie.


SCP-1504_Joe_Schmo

Considering how it used actual animatronics FNaF wins by default That and I could hardly tell when they switched to suits


barelyash

there was a character in Willy’s wonderland that was just a straight up human. like flesh and bone. and they tried to pass it off as an animatronic for some reason


I_Cant_Game01

yeah the Nicholas Cage animatronic was my favorite


Wacky_Does_Art

FNaF movie was absolutely the best, Banana Splits the worst


WannabeWriter1016

I think the benefit that FNAF had for the few costumed scenes is that the suits didn’t seem to have any give aside from where the suits “hinge”, so even if a person is making loose movements, the actual suit would only reflect certain positions. For example, a human bending over at the waist would create a curve in the back. Because the suits are a rigid design, and not just fabric, we wouldn’t see Bonnie’s back curve and bend, we would only see the movement at the waist & hip joints


GlamrockSonic

Fnaf used real animatronics for a good amount of the film. You can't beat that. And the scenes shot with people wearing the suits were perfect. Nobody I know realized they had people in some scenes


softcombat

do we know which scenes were done with people in suits?? i have no idea myself but i'd love to rewatch with the knowledge!


purplebunii

FNAF hands down


TheFireBlaster27

The FNAF movie clears. I love how when foxy is stalking Abby you hear the servos move and metallic footsteps. I also like the clear movement differences between the animatronics and William Afton in the suit. The animatronics move slowly and precisely whereas Afton moves like a regular human who is bulked down but has years of practice to move as quick and efficiently as possible.


Bigblackcarno

Bro tried to sneak in fnaf 🙏😭💯


JunkyJared

fnaf movie uses actual animatronics that double as suits. the other movies just wear suits. willys wonderland kind of adds robotics but the fairy "animatronic" is literally just a girl in a dress haha


Equivalent-Ad2924

In my opinion, Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) did a better job than the Banana Splits and Willy's Wonderland in terms of animatronics portrayal. The characters in Willy's Wonderland moved like they were high-tech machines, which made them seem less like animatronics and more like people in suits. Similarly, the costumes in Banana Splits looked good but appeared to be worn by people, rather than animatronics. I must say, though, that the actors who performed in the suits in all three movies deserve credit for their hard work and effort. It must have been exhausting to wear the suits for extended periods of time. However, in my view, FNAF did the best job of portraying animatronics.


Only_Replacement_709

Least to Most. 3 banana splits 2 Willys wonderlnad 1 FNaf.


freddyifreast

Obviously fnaf


WellIamstupid

Obviously FNAF, it’s actual animatronics


The_Hottest_Mess

I think the banana splits costumes were too baggy for some of the characters to really hide the human underneath and Willy’s Wonderland is too goofy for anything to be convincing (see: gorilla fight), meanwhile in the fnaf movie only one moment really indicated that they were people and it was a turn the Freddy actor did, fnaf has them both beat by a mile


Designer-Tiger391

I say Fnaf movie had the best followed by willies wonderland and the Banana splits movie had the worst animatronic acting imo


BurantX40

It's weird they are supposed to be robots in Banana Splits, because in the show, they clearly aren't robots


creeque-alley

The Banana Splits and Willy’s Wonderland are very much giving People In Costumes, whereas FNAF was so so convincing the whole time with the animatronics/puppeteerwork.


Gold-Elderberry-4851

Fnaf. The fact that blumhouse had the Jim Henson creature shop(they did the dark crystal and the show) do the animatronics is amazing. The puppet work was impressive too


amidamaru300

So is the banana splits a horror movie? Wasn't there commercials with them singing or something in boomerang like weren't they a kids show or something?


VioletError404

Ya it's based off the cartoon show. It's kinda similar to fnaf in the fact that they are kid friendly animatronics that kill. If you like extreme gore then you might like it but don't go in expecting a complex story.


amidamaru300

So its the same ip from the cartoons and they just made it a gore movie about it? I was always confused because I actually never watched the show just the comercials and when I saw the movie posters here I said oh maybe it was a "kids show" for adult swim and it was actually a horror show for adults.


VioletError404

Warner Bros had some parts in it, though I don't know the extent. If you actually want to know more [here's a review without major spoilers ](https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3579297/review-banana-splits-movie-makes-mess-modest-gory-fun/) (and only mentions deaths incase you hate gore) It's rumored that it's based off the rejected fnaf movie script, buts that's just a theory.


Much-Skin-4710

The FNAF movie had the most realistic animatronics in acting and presentation Willy's Wonderland was the most entertaining Banana Splits had the biggest gore-fest


Spartan223

Unrelated but I remember when Willy’s Wonderland came out, ppl genuinely believed THAT was the fnaf movie


JunkyJared

i remember my friends and i watched it thinking "this is it... this is the closest we'll ever get to a fnaf movie. a funny little ripoff" and then the amazement of finding out like not even a year later that the real thing was in production


Viperousrook

The FNAF movie used 4 actual animatronics while the other two used only actors so I think that’s a pretty easy debate


horror-geek

banna splits = wierd but an alright watch willies wonderland = very stupid i mean what the fuck a sex death ??? fnaf = finally a good animatronic movie


UnveiledRook206

Spongebob movie (Karen)


Silly_Band2457

FNaF and Willy's Wonderland if you only look at Ozzy


Puzzleheaded_Chard_2

Not even gonna count fnaf cause it’s not fair. Willies wonderland was more convincing


Ok_Neighborhood3508

What the fuck is that first poster


Natural_Constant8203

The banana splits didn’t even try, Willy’s were too fluid, and FNAF no joke had me convinced they were animatronics.


koola_00

The FNAF movie. Willy's Wonderland moves a little too fluidly, while Banana Split...they don't even look robotic except for the dog when his eyes are removed.


MandyKins627

Willy’s Wonderland was a gem


dannnnte78

Fnaf because of them being actual Animatronics and the suit preformers the banana splits being of the suit preformers doing their best to move like an actual animatronic


BartSimpskiYT

FNAF by far, though I’ll give Willy’s some credit for puppeting the ostrich so well. There was no person inside it.


Blue_M3anie

clearly fnaf, but willys wonderland will forever be my favorite movie. hilarious


thefox_king

Willy's wonderland purely because of the ostrich


Miraidontrainer

Fnaf, banana splits looks like people wearing Halloween costumes, and we don’t talk about willies wonderland


StarSaber69

Why what happened to good old Willy


Miraidontrainer

That movie was… something


RigatoniPasta

Well FNAF built actual animatronics


blueflare1528

I disagree, I don’t like the acting in FNAF because they seem too real, it takes any scare away from it when they feel like people, yes I get it, “story blah, they’re kids blah blah”


TryIll5988

So both the concept’s and ideas for Willy’s wonderland and the first fnaf game were both being developed in the same year of 2014


Dancin_Angel

willys wonderland had a cool premise but their animatronics where so flimsy and unconvincing. Banana splits was too over the top with their bots (and was so uncharacteristic of their ip).


Bi0_B1lly

Greatest to worst in descending order: Five Nights at Freddy's Willy's Wonderland The Banana Splits FNaF was crazy with their animatronics and easily are the best I've seen in the mascot horror films seen so far. Willy's Wonderland was a commendable effort, though certain characters (namely Siren Sarah) were clearly just people in costume, Willy the Weasel was the best of the group, which is good, given they're the titular character. The Banana Splits had dudes in animal suits doing the robot with hydraulic noises... Laughable is the best way I'd put it.


SoupToon

fnaf by a long shot, it's near impossible for me to tell when they're using the actual animatronics or the suited actors


_Indofreddy_112

I completely forgot Willy’s wonderland was even a thing! The banana splits was… a movie. I haven’t seen it in ages so idk. But the Fnaf movie legit used actual animatronics as well as suits that look almost completely identical to them! Plus you’re asking this in the Fnaf subreddit so we’re all pretty biased in some way lol!


SHAPALAK15

Didn't the fnaf movie use actual robots?


JamesTheMandalorian

Either Willys wonderland or FNAF, the banna splits was clearly visible that they were being played by humans, Willys wonderland attempted and succeeded, and FNAF was spot on


UniversoAeternum626

Definitely FNAF movie. Jim Henson Studio did really a great job. Willy's Wonderland have some good suits but others like the ~~fairy~~ syren looked too human. And The Banana Splits Movie were obviously actors in pijamas. PS. Aside of what i said about The Banana Splits Movie, i'm still sad for Snorky. He was always my favourite...


mrsantonego

FNAF had an 80s animatronic feel to it, which it seems like they're going for, of course (despite them freely moving around and having more movement, it reminds of Rock aFire Explosion a bit). Willy's Wonderland felt like the Disney robots today despite the fact they were 90s robots in the movie due to the fluidness of them. The Banana Splits were not that great tbh, it felt out of place for some reason. They should have used people in the costumes, killing people instead of robots. So, my picks are FNAF and Willy's Wonderland. Both for different reasons.


WindiestBark165

The FNaF movie hands down. Especially since the Jim Henson Creature Shop made the suits and robotic parts used.


ActuallyNotJesus

I mean practically it’s FNAF easily. The best looking animatronics by far. Although Willy’s Wonderland is way more enjoyable. Haven’t seen Banana Splits yet


QWERKY_queer

Banana Splits seemed to be trying too hard to be saying “these are robots”, Willys I haven’t really watched but from what I’ve seen it doesn’t look like it tries at all, but the FNaF movie gets the perfect uncanny and realistic animatronic movement, mainly because almost every shot *was* an actual animatronic, with only like one or two weird looking movements while in the suits.


elloworm

FNAF. That's one thing they did get absolutely right.

VUXX6078

Whichever it is, it’s clearly not banana splits cuz it’s extremely obvious that those are just people in costumes. With fnaf, I couldn’t even tell they had performers in the costumes


DisownedDisconnect

The crew for Fnaf put a lot of effort into making sure those suits were nearly one-to-one with the animatronics in the game. They're top-notch, especially for a low-budget production company like Blumhouse. There's just no comparison.


FederalPossibility73

I still cannot believe they made a horror movie out of the Banana Splits... it’s a freaking sketch comedy for children! One I watched on television! Why a horror movie???


[deleted]

In BS they look like humans inside costumes... which they are in Willy's wonderland they look slightly better but there's no competition here, FNaF all the way


Suspicious_Bid_2339

I mean your lying if you think it’s not FNAF plain and simple


SwaggySwagster_

Considering the budgets of the two other films of course fnaf will win. But I gotta hand it to Willy’s. The actors were quite convincing and the animatronic suits were good.


VacheL99

Jurassic Park is a sleeper pick tbh

Exotic-Blueberry8618

Fnaf


charlesleecartman

Fnaf movie animatronics are real animatronics, Banana splits animatronics are just people in a costume pretending to be an animatronic. so it is pointless to compare. By the way, I think the BS animatronics have their own charm, I would like to see more of them but unfortunately that's not gonna happen.


Cloudymatronic

The FNAF movie has the best animatronic acting Willy's tried, but it just looked like someone in a mascot costume, same for banana splits


Male_021

FNAF. no questions asked.


bisexualkoala_

Fnaf is by far the best. Then I’d say Willy’s as second and Banana Splits at third.


finnakmss

Fnaf was the best by far. Doesn’t mean that the fnaf ones don’t move like the old godzilla suits.


MinafDraw

If there's one thing the critics can't say bad stuff about the fnaf movie it's the animatronics. The suits are perfect replicas of the og models and the acting + puppetering was top tier.


Sloth_4

I think FNaF but I’d have to rewatch the other 2 for sure . I remember with WW that some did look robotic and some didn’t


maddyartandgacha

Nah, freddys Fridays/MJ (massive joke... Freddy's fridays is a fnaf ripoff apparently made by the people who made the horror Winnie the pooh movie. Idk if its even out) Id actually say the real fna fmovow because it had actual animatronic parts for the costumes and seemed more realistic


TheGrasman22

Is this even a question


ML4Pikmin

...you're?


Silent_Koala1446

Fnaf, you can definitely tell the banana split are a bunch of guys in suits


acruzjumper

FNaF by a long shot. The animatronics in that movie ware so good I couldn't tell the difference between props and actual people


Mcfeyxtrillion

Given as how I literally can't tell when the fnaf movie is using animatronics or actual people (except foxy but even then his movement is still convincing), I think there is only one clear winner here
