10 minute drive-in intermission

[MultiJesse1995]

why does every drive-in mostly advertise the snack bar?

[deussolinvictus]

It looks like Jay Ward animation. I may be wrong, but the style is distinct.

[Sheri451]

The only one that wasn't in color was Paper Moon. Out drive in theater sells hot dogs, corn dogs, french fries, popcorn, sodas, coffee and pizza by the slice

[fromthesidelines]

The animated introduction and "count-down transitions" were produced in 1974 (stills from "Cabaret", "The Godfather", "Serpico", "The Way We Were" and "Chinatown" are featured in the "Hollywood" montage).

[BusterDoberman]

drive ins were so cool glad there are a few of them still around and operating yet

[TheWolfBunny2]

That showtime tune returned in Spongebob Squarepants.

[clonecomanderfox]

This is what they play at my local Drive-In

[amberola1b]

Popcorn,,,,,,drenched with hot melted butter

[IanGorton]

And if you don't like the movie. Slash The Seats

I still go to a Drive In Movie Theater

[evanmichael100]

tri way drive in in plymouth,in. opens in two weeks!!!awesome!!they show this exact intermission film!!brings back a flood of memories!

[BaseFury]

Its like they knew we were all stoned, rofl

[EmiOfBrie]

Wellfleet Drive-In Theater on Cape Cod used this one too. Dunno if they still do or not (the theater is still operational in the summer). My memories of this are from 1980 but I trust they had been using it a while even then.

[TimelordR]

Donuts, peanuts & sandwiches? Boy, they sure had some unique treats back then, didn't they? Thanks for the tasty memories!

[Ian16545]

@TimelordR If only AMC or Regal Entertainment had those in addition to their usual fare, then we'd be all set!

[stupidstuffx]

Damn that food is tempting.........

[mackbee628]

I remember this from when I was a kid! It played at the Bel-Air (Detroit), Gratiot (Roseville), Galaxy (Madison Heights), and the Mount Clemens in Macomb Township. Goodness knows how long they have played this intermission film! It is sad that none of the drive-in theatres I mentioned no longer exist. 3 are shopping centers, and one is an office park.

[bigmankralc]

I still wish they had intermissions on movies over 3 hours long, because i dont think one should hold it that long, it might cause bladder damage. hehe 

[georgetowndrivein]

We use this one!

[fraidy2008]

This video made me gain 5lbs. 

[boredright]

hot dog trees!

[Sheri451]

When I was little, they had a drive in about fifteen minutes away from us, It had two screens one on the North side and one on the South side, They had pizzas, hot dogs, popcorn, ice cream, sodas, candy. I think they sold hamburgers and fries too. They had a playground there too. Children under 14 were allowed. My sister and I had fun there, we would watch the movie and swing, and slide. They got rid of that drive in around the 1980s. They still have one in my area now but it only has one screen

[GreyfoxInBaxterWood]

Still using this intermission at the Prides Conner Drive- IN (Maine) and the food at the snackbar taste great!

[neversmiling]

I think this might be the same set they used to show at the drive-in when I was a kid. I even remember those popcorn cups at 2:11

[Ian16545]

I recognize the music 4:41 from an old "Little Thinker" tape I used to own.

[prausch65]

Such simple times..oh the memories.

[jaybee2]

I remember seeing this in the late 70s at the Dent Drive-in which was located on the west side of Cincinnati in Dent Ohio. I know each and every nuance of the voice over and voice acting. Unbelievable how much useless crap our brain stores for retrieval 30 years later.

[crazybobdj]

The bg music @ 7:40 was in a lot of old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, I think? I also think that I once heard in an episobe of My Three Sons? ..Hey, I'm old.

I have a nice 35 mm (estar dupe) copy of this clock. I play it at my drive-in, in PA.

[Reubenhubert]

Back in the late 70s I remember this intermission from 42 Drive-in south of Brunswick, Ohio. I could also head north on the highway and go to Pearl Rd. Drive-in, just a couple of exits north. Occasionally I would go to Montrose Drive-in not too far southeast from home. Now I have Blue Sky or Magic City Drive-in less than an hour drive from home.

[Effingbaddude]

My best of times and worst...

[sjtom57]

Thanks for the memories. Seems like yesterday.

[WhiteWolf998]

OMG this still plays at the drive-in just across the Canadian border.

[andimhisfriendjesus]

I didn't know the colonel was German.

[ericinwisconsin]

I have NEVER in my LIFE seen a hot dog that looks as good as those. Obviously high-quality franks, but not what you see every day.

[TigrisKhan]

The answer to the question is twofold: It was made by Filmack Productions in Chicago, the leading maker of trailers and snackbar ads.

The ANIMATOR of the cartoons was the one and only Jay Ward (Rocky and Bullwinkle, George of the Jungle, Capn' Crunch Commercials and so on and so on..)

[stinkriverstudios]

You got it pal!!!! Awsome. Jay Wards style is unmistakable. Good memories.

Did he not do the Hawaiian punch guy too?

[pegbars]

@TigrisKhan

Incorrect, on both counts. This was produced in 1963 by the animation department of National Screen Service in Los Angeles. I have the original trade paper announcements for it.

Filmack could never produce something this polished, they were the bargain-basement studio (see the "Variety Clock"). Plenty of trailer companies were head and shoulders above them. Everyone today only thinks they were "the leading maker", simply because they are the last company standing.

[conan099]

some one must of had to take a LONGGGGGG piss

[webboffin]

It looks rather 1950's

[qwertasdcfghjklmo24z]

lol I love the one with the alien buying loads of snacks.

[lexbates]

I remember watching this at the drive-in in the late 70's.

[photon1138]

Good lord -- this was played during intermission at the Hilltop Drivein Theater in Wisconsin just across the river from Stillwater MN... 35 years ago -- what a time warp.

[stokepogue]

Long live the Drive-in!

[Duvmasta]

Champlain, as in Lake Champlain?

[driveinnut61]

When I was a kid, my brother in law drove me to what was left of the St. Joe/Benton Harbor STARLIGHT.  Only the sign remained!

[chairmanofthebored1]

Use to see this at the Starlight in Benton Harbor, or the drive-in in St. Joe, MI

[Pauluk33]

lol they carry this on 4 10 minute?, at least in the cinemas they have ads,, lol, this is good though

[lexmarks567]

the ford wyoming drive in derborn detroit shows this one on screen 3 with 5 minutes to go and the its intermission time announment. also they now accept credit and debit cards.

[rexdiamond1]

Hi-Way Drive-In in Marion, IN! Watched this one many times as a kid! Thanks for posting!

[railroadtie69]

i seen this one at the barrie triple drive-in

[liveup5]

Ah yes! I've been hearing and reading about these so-called,colorful motion pictures. I must go and see one,soon!

[JTC545]

Anyone they use the same clips for the food but differnet dialog?

[edybeast]

It doesn't matter that these intermission clips had a lot of hyperbole regarding the food; they were always fun to see.

[GoreCanShovelMyDrive]

Southview Drive In.....Indianapolis Late 1970's......this is it!!

Gotta Love You Tube!

[TimelordR]

Betcha didn't know that compilation DVD's of Drive-In intermission ads can bet bought from Something Weird Video!

[THRILLAKILLA187]

YEAH I KNEW AND OWN IT TOO!

[luridplanet]

These were campy fun even 30 years ago. And it was always funny when the intermission film was worn out from being shown 10,000 times.

[rivest266]

with the bug ending up in the projector.

[doger200]

This one is it!! I've been looking for the clip they would play at the Bordertown drive-in in El Paso, TX.

Brings back great memories. WIsh we still had a drive-in.

[yayafenella]

The Georgetown Drive-in in IN and the Kenwood Drive-in in KY both use this! I can't wait for summer!

[steffidude]

We are fortunate to have the old drive in theater still in operation in Shebyville Indiana. Problem is daylight savings time. Owners were going to add another screen until the governor signed in to law DLS.

[yayafenella]

I don't actually live in Indiana, but DLS sure puts showtimes at the Kenwood late! It really takes a toll.

[DarkFactOmega]

Hey, I saw a couple of those in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure!

[electrogeek77]

Such shiny hot dogs!

[reanimated77]

Been looking for this clip...the Ford Wyoming over here in Dearborn (Michigan) used to play this all the time with the exception of the clip witht the alien, that was actually replaced with a segment involving a Leprechaun...good stuff.

[TOPOFFMAN]

I want to go to the snack bar now!!

[VeRTiGo9191]

Yeah, they look a little charred...oh well, I'd still eat it! Little cheese and ketchup will cover the taste!!

[rivest266]

at least this is a clean print, somtimes bugs gets in between the lamp and lens and makes a mess.

[Adria20]

why are the hamburgers black?!

[rivest266]

bad color timing and age of the film.

[cyrix01]

Thanks! Love watching this vintage stuff. The drive-ins were still showing these ads even in the early to mid '70s when I was in high school! This puts me in a mood to watch a movie, and play the intermission ads at half-time. I'm gonna cook some wonderful, deelicious hotdogs on my George Foreman grill.
