Wow. I remember seeing those spots on “The Wonderful World of Color” Amazing to see one again.

makes me wish i could drive with my butt.

I remember this add and the question remains…..um…. how does the fuel go in????

over and out

I love these guys. We worked together at Disney, and they persuaded actor, Dick Van Dyke to incorporate one their movies in a TV special.

Years later, I had the pleasure of writing for Chuck and Len when they were producers at DIC.

I vividly recall one where the guy stops at a crossing for a trainload of commuters — mostly standing, holding imaginary straps and reading newspapers.

Was there any connection to the guy who did the cowboy film with imaginary horses (Blaze Glory, I think it was called)?

Chuck and Len indeed also made “Blaze Glory”, yes.

haha I love how the guy left skid marks :)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh-MID! Thank YOO! I remember them like they were yesterday! (And they appeared right when I was animating mySELF….for science fair project[s]!) That is a great, and beaucoup fond, memory! Thank YOO!!

I remember this commercial. They used to play it during the Wonderful World of Color.

I got a super 8 camera when I was about 11 or so and duplicating this effect was the first thing i set out to do.

I loved those commercials so much I assembled a group of friends and did some pixilation of our own with my Super 8 camera. Naturally it wasn’t as smooth, but these commercials were something that inspired me to try to animation myself.

I have copies of several of the Gulf ads from this time period. Does anyone know where I can get cleaner copies of them? or where more are available?
