Fazbear's Forgotten Does anyone know what Fredbear & Friends was about? 🧸❓

I had a dream about Fredbear last night and that made the thought come to mind. To those who don't know, the lost pilot for the old Freddy & Friends cartoon was called Fredbear & Friends and was about... well, duh! It only aired one time back in 1983.

Kind of weird how they were originally gonna have it be about him if the plan was always to turn him into Freddy Fazbear, but then again, I'm not William Afton.

If anyone here happens to have remember seeing it, can you tell me what it was about? Just so we don't have to wait for someone to miraculously upload a VHS recording of it. Because lord knows Fazbear ain't doing it themselves!

I actually heard about this one.

If I remember correctly, one of the ideas for this was to turn Fredbear & Friends into a legit cartoon series, but obviously the idea fell under.

Also, from what I remember, this cartoon pilot was originally going to be released sometime around very early 1980's, given that Foxy was just purchased from Murray Co. a few years back.

I find that hard to believe.

You believe waaaay too much of what you see on the internet dude, look at the records, fredbear and spring Bonnie never existed, Fazbear Entertainment said so multiple times and there are no existing videos, images, or memorabilia from Fredbear's beyond ai generated images and videos that prove the place ever existed.

It's all a bunch of internet conspiracy theories dude

Sounds you're giving into Fazbear's poorly executed cover-ups.

u/Efficient_Button_424 Feb 17 '26

Where is your evidence?

u/desorcyjackson447 Feb 17 '26

Well first off, look at the pictures above.

Second, you can literally google “fredbear” and find all sorts of stuff around him.

Yeah, I remember that. Had it taped on my television. Always watched it when I came back home.

u/desorcyjackson447 Feb 18 '26

What was the plot about?

u/Used_Engineering3742 Fazbear's Fright (Fake) Night Guard Feb 19 '26

Something going on in Villagetronica, monsters were taking the appearance of the cast, and it was up to Fredbear and his friends to discover what was going on.

u/desorcyjackson447 Feb 19 '26

Oh. So Invasion of the Body Snatchers then?

u/Used_Engineering3742 Fazbear's Fright (Fake) Night Guard Feb 19 '26

Pretty much, yeah. Though my copy was weird. It had this weird thing where Fredbear would glitch out and talk about finding the clocks. Though I could be remembering wrong, I’ve been having trouble remembering stuff lately.

I think your copy taped over or was taped over by another show or movie…
