[AtlantaCommercials]

0:26 Sarah:Why did he get popcorn! I want free popcorn! Eddy: What do I look like,a POPCORN FAIRY!?

[Milesprower1100]

Reminds me of Hanna barbera

[geekahedron]

This is still being shown at the drive-in theater in Massena, New York, to this day

[accountmaniac]

Why is the "hot coffee" sitting inside snow??

[kevblucole]

@accountmaniac Maybe it was a little too hot. ha ha ;-)

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

I miss the old drive-ins.

There are still some around, but they don't have the feel of times gone by.

whats hot coffee doing on top of a snowy mountain?

[mad9501]

yum... treats...

[rockntroopen]

someone needs to make dubstep remix for this.

[dltanner99]

The drive-in movie novel The Dare Island Enigma see video book trailer

[tauwilltriumph]

I like how they keep the coffee hot by putting it in snow

[MattTheSaiyan]

Looks a lot more 60s to me than 1950s.

[pink77punk]

I so want to find that popcorn geyser.

[Slyth66]

Reminds me of the "How many licks does it take..." Tootsie Pop commercials.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

It's just not the same as, "Let's All Go to the Lobby."

[thewardenlover]

Parry Gripp faved this vid!!!

LUCKY!

[zarksentinel]

i remember i watched this when i was....9 or 10 years old. LOL

[Manty64]

I'd love to climb that mountain.

[LittlePinky82]

LOL yeah and I love how you could apparently get ice cream at the movies.

[qwertasdcfghjklmo24z]

You still can!

Well here in the UK you can.

[LittlePinky82]

That's pretty neat. Only thing about the 50's I wish we still had haha.

[thegamer1236]

u united kindomers and your ice cream at the movies, what a backwards country

[dudemantwo]

Is that made by the same people who did Mr. Magloo?

[wilek209]

Doesn't look like UPA. It could be Jay Ward's studio (the company that did "Rocky and Bullwinkle") or even Hanna-Barbera, depending on how old this is. Both those studios used the old Capitol Hi-Q stock music like featured here in the late 1950s and early 1960s

[qwertasdcfghjklmo24z]

So would I!

[bigg3469]

The Guard almost sound like Squidward Tentacles from Spongebob Squarepant!

[sideshowcarny]

Ummm....

[xXxAmberxXx136]

its in the title of the video 1950s lol

it looks it tooo

[Rachman1337]

What terrible advertising, even for the time. Give me singin hot dogs any day, but a hot dog tree?! I don't want to climb a mountain if I want to gorge myself on the popcorn geiser.

[SenhordoBonfim]

I love the sparkling hot dogs...

[TServo2049]

The music here is a Phil Green stock track from the EMI-Photoplay library (via Capitol Records).

[DDmaster13]

Yes, "hacks" like McCracken and McFarlane, who have made ridiculous amounts of money off of their extremely popular cartoons. What exactly makes them hacks asshole? The fact that they weren't born in 1920?

[SteveCarras]

Pegbars:

'Music is stock library. "

Seems like the John Seely/Sam Fox Capitol stuff...a collector sent me many of those. I have one by David Buttolph, used on Gumby san d BHuckleberry ("Liontamer Huck", during the part where the narrator suggests a quiter lion), titled "Cocked Colonel". I think Dennis Farnon wrote that piece used. The Jay Ward studio used a lot of his music as did UPA. Who did the animation for that, btw?

BTW, going back , I see the name of the studio.

[GirliciousLuvr]

Aha. Popcorn geyser!

Intermission is my luvr. ♥

[billyhay]

look out..that patron is going to take a dump in the popcorn geyser!

[SteveCarras]

VERY good (LOL hot dogs don't grow on TREES do they?)

[mickieluvspie]

aha love it

[SnDFrostey]

LAWL, popcorn geyser.

[Sweettart9467]

This is still at the drive in around where I live! It somehow never grows old too me.

[melaniestevens]

I'm sorry but did he say "supply nipple?"

[sideshowcarny]

supply depot

[Lindsaypoi]

@melaniestevens lol ya it does

[junkboxxxxxxxx]

This one is still being shown during intermission at the Port Elmsley Drive-in, @ Port Elmsley Ontario, if you want to see it in its natural habitat.

[JMReid1220]

I love it, but how do you keep coffee (and hot dogs) warm on top of a mountain? 

Ah, movie magic...

[MisterMainiac]

Thats when it was good

[radamail]

Lol. That's right. And the little guy was never heard from again.

[acjaggard]

Is it a coincidence these shorts look like "Rocky and Bullwinkle"? Was it the same studio producing them?

[wiley207]

It could be. The Jay Ward animation studio sometimes used the same music heard in this trailer.

[SteveCarras]

Wiley, regaridng the Jay Ward animaiton with the musuic, as I said, I'll bet both had Dennis Farnon, who DID do the Ward music a lot (lots of oomp-paa bassoon stuff.John Seely staff ghost regular Spencer Moore did this too.-e.g., "Barnyard Dog"s slowly progressing neverous "Gopher Broke" breakdown. )

[pegbars]

This is a segment from an intermission clock titled, "On the Spot." It was produced in the Los Angeles studio of National Screen Service in 1963 (with periodic recuts to update it over the years). The stylized limited animation was in vogue at the time. Music is stock library.

[sideshowcarny]

Thanks for the insight! :)

[pegbars]

You're sure welcome! Intermission trailers are my forte'. :)

[SteveCarras]

"The stylized limited animation was in vogue at the time".

And remins better today than that by hacks like Craig McCracken and Seth McFarlane.

BTW who did the voices?

[TServo2049]

You don't happen to know who animated this, do you? If it was produced in L.A., did it involve some of the same animators who worked on the TV cartoons of the time?

I'm sure you don't know...but I'm just asking. :)

[pegbars]

That's okay. NSS did a lot of animation, but I don't know if they had their own dedicated staff of animators or not. They may very well have hired freelancers for all I know.

Sounds like you hit the nail on the head with the Capitol track. You don't happen to have access to that library, do you? ;)

[jessecrx]

You guys just don't "get it" do you....

[SamuraibrandX]

Not to mention that the hot coffee is stuck in the snow.

[electrogeek77]

I didn't know that hot dogs were supposed to sparkle...

[stephanie1977]

I didnt know they grew on trees...

[funkmike]

In the 50's they used to put fluoride in hot dog "meat".
