Cereal Killers
On eBay for boo coo bucks: Walt Disney Studios’ 1939 Christmas card using characters from the soon to be released Pinocchio. Remember when Disney stood for class and quality entertainment? (sigh) On a similar note, watch the sprightly animated Rice Krispies cereal commercial below. It was produced by a competing studio that same year, 1939, but one can completely see the Disney influence. Those two kiddies are kind of weird looking, however — I can’t put my finger on why that’s so. (p.s. this was uploaded to YouTube by the proprietress of Bibi’s Box. p.p.s. thanks to Christopher for the eBay link.)

This Rice Krispies commercial was featured in Episode 6 of Channel Frederator. You can download it off of Archive.org here.

Thanks, Ward. I have that ReFrederator site bookmarked but haven’t visited there in awhile. It’s nifty and keen!

Hey, that freaky eye-shadow looked good last night, but in the cold light of morning he wishes this guy would either quit scowling and griping about the cereal, or just leave already.
