FNAF Movie’s Doll-Like Animatronic Explained

The Five Nights at Freddy’s film was released last month and made good on its promise to deliver an experience tailored toward the series’ biggest fans. While its overall narrative was an amalgamation of various early FNAF titles, namely Five Nights at Freddy’s 1 and FNAF 3, some of its most crucial elements were taken from the extensive lore beyond those titles. One such element, a doll-like animatronic that appears throughout the film, may have appeared as a generic robot to general audiences. However, fans know that this animatronic, and the doll on which it is based, are among the most important figures in FNAF‘s entire lore. By looking at the Five Nights at Freddy’s series’ various novelizations, fans and newcomers alike can better understand who the film’s doll-like animatronic is, and how its presence may shape the future of the series on-screen.
