Follow the Bouncing Ball

Never thought I’d be posting about High School Musical 3, but I noticed this ad in yesterday’s paper and just had to comment.

Is that the bouncing ball I see at the top of the ad? Isn’t the “bouncing ball” property (or at least Intellectual Property) of Fleischer Studios or possibly Paramount Pictures? Even if they aren’t actually using the “Famous Bouncing Ball” in the Sing-along HSM3, isn’t it interesting that they use this iconic image – one created by Fleischer Studios – in their advertising?

Just asking.
