Tytla at Tempo
by jerry
November 3, 2008 12:05 am


Here’s a neat find. Chuck Howell, curator at The Library of American Broadcasting at the University of Maryland, came across this two-page article from the Oct. 1950 issue of a trade publication called Advertising Agency and Advertising And Selling (I assume two trade organs had merged to come up with that mouthful). “Clipping Board” was a regular feature that focused on art and graphic design trends, covering everything from billboards to direct mail to (as in this case) the still-new
medium of television (click on thumbnails below for enlargements). These pages detail the creation of a TV commercial, for Sealtest ice cream, produced at Tempo Productions and directed by Bill Tytla (the article mis-spells his name “Wm. Tytle”).

    Had to have been some of Tytla’s first work at the studio, since Famous was still releasing cartoons with his name on them about the time the article came out.

    Sealtest was once a major dairy brand. But it went the way of Hydrox cookies (though Kelloggs has momentarily brought those back, in honor of their 1908 inception).

    Stephen Cooke says:

    Sealtest ice cream still exists in Canada. According to Wikipedia, Parmalat bought out their U.S. milk-producing facilities, while Nestle bought their ice cream brand (Parlour).

    And…to tie it all together, “Sealtest also sponsored an ice cream store at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida named Sealtest Ice Cream Parlor and Sealtest Ice Cream Wagon.”

  • COMMENT OF THE MOMENT

    "I hope Kung Fu Panda sweeps this year’s Annies and Oscars. I found it more entertaining than WALL-E and in terms of design, it is hands down the boldest looking animated feature released this year, period. WALL-E is impressive but the Kung Fu design is truly inspired. Surely the best looking movie to come out of Dreamworks. I hope it at least sweeps in the design categories. In this case, I think Pixar can take a lesson from Dreamworks. Kung Fu Panda is a great CG “cartoon”, with design that is caricatured, appealing and not limited by photo-realism. Kudos to the Panda crew. Having worked on Incredibles, I know that trying something different can be a huge challenge. I don’t know how you guys did it. But you raised the bar."
