Chucky Cheeze, Mexico

Quite a knockoff eh?

[junebug09az]

Can they do that?!

[MatHat13]

That's just mad weird.:|

[VegaNova]

Honestly that's pretty bizarre. I don't think that change is big enough to escape trademark/copyright infringement. That's close enough to confuse people and therefore crosses that line. I wonder if CEC's international trademarks are registered in Mexico though.

This restaurant looks like some hack-job anyway. Probably not worth their time to pursue, but it's likely that they're not even aware of this place (until now, if they're reading this thread).

;)

[Vega III CEC]

Wow, that's a really cheesy and I bet that won't fly if the corps find out. XD Is he supposed to be a Chihuahua?

[dheineCECfan]

Someday there should be a REAL CEC in Mexico, was there ever a CEC/PTT in Puerto Rico?

[VegaNova]

Yeah there was definetely a PTT in Puerto Rico. Not sure when it closed, but I've talked to someone who used to visit it in the early 80s. He recorded (from the showroom on cassette) some of Madame Oink's Tunnel of Love.

[Larry the Tech]

Chucky the Chihuahua? Wow, that's odd! I wonder if they have poodle Helen, Bulldog Munch, regular Jasper, and Greyhound Pasqually... (or in this case, a show!)

[chuck e cheese fan]

wheres this knockoff chuck e cheese located at

[captslappy]

That's a lawsuit waiting to happen but I don't know if it is worth pursuing given its outside the US and how much luck they'd have with it but clearly it's a rip off. If that were in the US changing the name like that isn't close to enough to escape a lawsuit. They nailed Showbiz in the early 80s for copyright infringement just on the similarity to the concept.

And yes, they do have a mechanical bull!

[CECExtravaganza]

wow thats really wierd lol.
knockoff

[Vega III CEC]

Wow, their ripoff is pretty lousy by that video...

[VegaNova]

NIIIICE!!

Oh man, Menutia you just made my afternoon! I was tempted to ask if anyone had any video of that place, but what are the odds of that?? That's really a blatant ripoff, so it's not funny I guess, but I can't quit laughing.

Those guys definetely have some cojones, I'll give them that.

[CEC3066]

I gave CEC's Legal Dept a link to that video clip so now they will hopefully be on their tail

[bzier]

Looks pretty lame. Gotta love these places that really try to make a quick buck off of somebody else's great idea.

[Larry the Tech]

Hey look, a cheaply made Chucky costume and a Barney show!

[Vega III CEC]

Hey look, a cheaply made Chucky costume and a Barney show!
Time for a double lawsuit! Yay!! =))

[Larry the Tech]

The rip-off website! Glad I found it!
http://chuckycheeze.com.mx/

[ChuckEZone]

This is just getting more and more weird, lol.. I can safely bet that the character artwork on the walls wasn't properly licensed. :-P

[The Ratman]

^^

They've really dug themselves into a deep hole with all these licensing and trademark violations they've commited. No doubt that these lawsuits will put them out of business.

[CalvinandCEC]

X-(X-(X-(X-(X-(This is an outrage!

[VegaNova]

Yeah somehow I don't see this store having a fairy-tale ending at all.

I tried to look at their merch counter on their website and I didn't see any store-specific merchandise. But man, if they have a Chucky Cheeze mascot plush, I so want one before they get their backside handed to them. Anyone vacationing to Puerta Vallarta anytime soon?

[CalvinandCEC]

Anyone vacationing to Puerta Vallarta anytime soon?
I don't have any plans to go.:|

[Rockerchick]

what they heck they are so toast

[Shiney Happy Jenn]

Ha ha ha!!!! This is absolutely priceless!!!

WOW...that is all i have to say...

Obviously these dinks think nobody from CEC's holders will find out about them since they are way down there...

....oh man this is outrageous.

=))

[pizzacam]

LOL well I stumbled across what I thought was more info about THIS rip-off but this is a whole other one it seems... called "Chico Cheese's Pizza" in Rio de Janerio, Brazil

Check out who makes their animatronics! =))

Well at least we know their show's boring as hell

Their name's at the bottom of the list under "Retail and Restaurants"

I can't see the video, it says it's private.

[Larry the Tech]

Here's a video of some girl riding the mech bull there

[3stagelover]

That Chucke cheese has to be stupid huge.

[junebug09az]

I wonder what their animatronics looks like.Hmmmmmm.

[CEC3066]

Hey everyone try that website again it LOOKS like thew mouse has told them to "Deje y desista" (Cease and Desist)

[CEC3066]

by website I mean http://www.chuckycheeze.com.mx

[Harmony Howlette]

by website I mean http://www.chuckycheeze.com.mx
Hard to say...the first time I went to that site, the same message was displayed, so who knows.
Anyways, a friend of mine in Mexico went out and snapped some pics of Chucky Cheeze's (haha) for me in May...I'll ask him if he's cool with me posting them here, if anyone wants to see.
For those of you curious, yes, Chucky is a Chihuahua, and no, there are no animatronics (unless you count the bull, of course)!

[bzier]

oh yes...let's see those pics!

[CEC3066]

aw CRAP!` just re-checked the sight and it's back up

[PizzaKaos21]

Hey everyone. I remember there being a thread about the Mexican knock-off restaurant Chucky Cheeze but I really didn't feel up to searching for it again.

Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that I found a commercial for the place on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsRdYXSW5ls

They've even got a walk-around! Can you believe that? I still don't know why this place hasn't been shut down yet.

[zeekeroo]

The stole the name Chuck E. Cheese.
They have a Barney thing in the commercial.
And when you go to the web site it plays the edd, ed and eddy them song.

TRIPLE LAW SUIT!

if you want to see the website in english a good place is http://www.worldlingo.com/en/websites/url_translator.html
http://chuckycheeze.com.mx/

[Larry the Tech]

Not to mention they have illegal art all around the walls, if you go on the virtual tour on their website.

[dheineCECfan]

Has anyone e-mailed Jon Rice at CEC about the Chucky Cheese Mexican rip-off?

[joshferrell]

they may not have the same trademark/copywrite laws that we have,some countries don't have any laws protecting trademarks..if that's the case then there's nothing CEC can do

[CEC_Tech]

Wow, I'm speechless. heh heh. Well, at least it looks like their games work. Hopefully something can be done about it. I think there still is a chuck e. cheese in Santiago, Chile.

[CEC3066]

I did email CEC's legal dept about it but never heard back from them

[dheineCECfan]

Will the real Chuck E. Cheese ever expand to open locations in Mexico to compete with Chucky Cheese?

[CEC_Tech]

Hopefully not, it's too dangerous down there right now. The drug cartels are pretty much running the country.

[dheineCECfan]

Hopefully not, it's too dangerous down there right now. The drug cartels are pretty much running the country.

What are drug cartels?

And Chuck E. Cheese will never return to Australia or France or Japan for current CEC locations, and there has yet to be a CEC in England/United Kingdom! And there's several CEC locations in Canada!

[CEC3066]

Hopefully not, it's too dangerous down there right nowHopefully not, it's too dangerous down there right now"

if that's the case WHY did CEC allow a store to be built in Saudi Arbia????

[bzier]

As long as there's money to be made, Chuck E Cheese may branch out to other countries. I remember hearing a while back that they were looking at International locations in the near future...so places like Austrailia, England, Mexico, etc. could be seeing their own CEC's soon.

[CEC_Tech]

Mexico only recently became a very dangerous place. Pretty much all of the corruption and drug involvement is coming to a head. It hasn't spilled over to this side of the border yet.

Most poeple don't hear about it in the news. A couple of weeks ago there were 12 murders in one day. They've already surpassed over 1000 murders this year alone in Jaurez, MX. Basically, a war between the Mexican Mafia and a few others who want their business. Alot of massacre type things and stuff like what we saw coming out of Iraq early on in the war, except no IED's. kidnappings, beheadings, horrible stuff.

The police corruption there is pretty bad. The president of mexico sent in some federal officers and soldiers, and they ended up in a gun battle with the police! Yeah, i'm not doing that install.

[Pbsfreak]

Hey look, a cheaply made Chucky costume and a Barney show!
You are incorrect! It is not a show, it's artwork!

I can safely bet that the character artwork on the walls wasn't properly licensed. :-P
One of the party rooms on the website is called (when translated)"Chucky Cheeze and it's friends"=)) There is even a Superman room. And the "Barney show" is a room.



And when you go to the web site it plays the edd, ed and eddy them song.


I hear the song!
=))

Has anyone e-mailed CEC about the Chucky Cheeze Mexican rip-off?
I might E-Mail them and tell them to close it.

[Charon the Sabercat]

Why would you want to close this place down? This looks surprisingly awesome! I'd go in a heartbeat if it was local! Truthfully, it looks a lot cooler than the ACTUAL Chuck E. Cheese's!

[talfonso]

Chucky the Chihuahua? Wow, that's odd! I wonder if they have poodle Helen, Bulldog Munch, regular Jasper, and Greyhound Pasqually... (or in this case, a show!)

Oh my gosh - a greyhound Pasqually! Weird...

[talfonso]

Oh, and here's my imagining if they ever install an animatronic show at a Chucky Cheeze: instead of a Munch's Make Believe Band, they'd do a mariachi band! I commented (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsRdYXSW5ls) on the video of the ad (with alias fromwkfsmouth) asking what's next - I can imagine it having a Pasqually knockoff who is dressed in formal Mexican wear!

[dheineCECfan]

Sorry, no mariachis, please...

[Larry-Boy]

As long as there's money to be made, Chuck E Cheese may branch out to other countries. I remember hearing a while back that they were looking at International locations in the near future...so places like Austrailia, England, Mexico, etc. could be seeing their own CEC's soon.
There was a CEC in Australia (A PTT),but it was called "Charlie Cheese's Pizza Playhouse", since chuck means "throw up" in that country.

The rip-off website! Glad I found it!
http://chuckycheeze.com.mx/
When I click on that link, it said "Account Suspended" which means that the real Chuck E Cheese may have closed the website down, or Cartoon Network suing them over the song on the website, or probably both. Is this place still open in real life?

Hey look, a cheaply made Chucky costume and a Barney show!
No! I am Pbsfreak's sister, and it said when translated (before the site closed) that it was a room, not a "show".


LOL well I stumbled across what I thought was more info about THIS rip-off but this is a whole other one it seems... called "Chico Cheese's Pizza" in Rio de Janerio, Brazil

Well at least we know their show's boring as hell

Let me guess (since i couldn't find anything about it)... Creative Engineering?

Not to mention they have illegal art all around the walls, if you go on the virtual tour on their website.
And they had claw machines, which the real Chuck E Cheese doesn't have!
In the commercial, they had burgers and chicken nuggets, which the real CEC also doesn't have, only hot dogs!

Sorry for bumping the topic, and talfonso, you bumped a topic that was almost a year old!

[CEC3066]

Let me guess (since i couldn't find anything about it)... Creative Engineering?

nope Sally Corp!

[PaulKTF]

WHat's nexT? Bill E. Bob's Showtime Pizza?
