Trivia

 * Dept. 2's AVG Country Critters is rumored to have come from the original Puerto Rico location of Tex Critter's Pizza Jamboree.
 * Many of these animatronics are featured in the "#AnimatronicMonday" videos on the social media of Carwardine Parks, Circus Playhouse and Tex Critter's.
 * Originally, the bluescreen bots were greenscreen, but once they started adding the tree props to some of the RAE greenscreen videos, it was problematic, so they changed it.
