It soon became one of those shows you consider your childhood for how long they ran and how much of your life you invested in it. Read it here please, it has images and evidence explaining all events in the story įor those who can't be bothered to read all that, here's a slightly shorter summary (for evidence please check the image link above):įredbear & Friends is a cartoon show that started airing in 1970 and became wildly popular in a very short period of time. All of these questions and more are answered in my theory, including the story in chronological order (to the left) and the evidence and answers to the most frequent questions (right). FNAF 4 happens at Fredbear's Family Diner in 1982 and the real bite of '87 happened in FNAF 2 (1987). I hope this doesn't end up in the artwork section.įredbear & Friends inspired the opening of the themed restaurants and pizzerias and not the other way around. I'm also new to reddit so if I make any format mistake or any other thing, please forgive me, I'm still trying to figure reddit out. I know it's long but I hope you can read through it and share your thoughts on it. Its thought that Fredbear is Henry’s main suit.Here's my take on the FNAF story.Fredbear's voice lines from Ultimate Custom Night were actually re-used from Freddy, although heavily modified to where his voice actor, Kellen Goff, doesn't even know which take was used.It was technically unknown what happened to his suit after years when the diner shuts down, but it was assumed that his suit could be entirely lost. Fredbear is the only animatronic from Fazbear Entertainment that was never discovered and reused for Fazbear's Fright.Despite this, it was indirectly confirmed that this incident was the Bite of 83. It was believed by some that the incident that Fredbear caused was the Bite of 87.Posters for Fredbear's Family Diner contain Golden Freddy, confirming directly that they both co-existed as mascots of the location, and thus aren't the same animatronic.On the other hand, Fredbear has a Glowing Purple tophat and bowtie. For one detail, Five Nights at Freddy's 3 contains a minigame containing Golden Freddy as well as Spring Bonnie on stage, featuring a Black bowtie and a Brown tophat.There is actually rather strong evidence against this, however.Fredbear bears a strong resemblance to Golden Freddy, to the point many fans have believed them to be the same.Fredbear may be named after Scott Cawthon's original name for Freddy: "Freddybear".Fredbear resembles the FNaF 1 Golden Freddy with purple hat and bow tie. He appears in Nightmare form in the main gameplay as Nightmare Fredbear.įredbear can be summoned by only using Withered Golden Freddy at 1, and using the Death Coin on him. This causes the animatronic to malfunction, chomping the mouth down and crushing the Child's head. Eventually, on the Crying Child's birthday, the boy is thrown into Fredbear's jaw's while he is singing. The other suit is speculated to be Fredbear's, and it is heavily emphasized in the next game.įredbear was seen inside Fredbear's Family Diner alongside Spring Bonnie in 1983, being used as an animatronic and a suit.
Phone Guy (via the employee training tapes) mentions that there are two springlock suits, and that one of them is specifically a Spring Bonnie suit. Christopher McCullough (World) Fredbear is a posthumous animatronic and the original mascot of Fredbear's Family Diner, and the cause of the Bite of 1983.įredbear is first mentioned as the mascot of Fredbear's Family Diner by Phone Guy.įredbear appears for the first time in "Five Nights at Freddy's 3" during one of the easter egg minigames entitled Stage01, and is controlled by the player.
