Ed Sullivan's Jungle Cruise Kodak Commercial

[darkebony]

Gotta remember that worked well for that time.Thats about all you had was a silent movie camera that gave you a 3 min movie and didnt film in dim light and movie film was so expensive too, in other words those movies sucked.thank God for camcorders.By the way I had one back then too!

why did you the hippo you bitch?

[inkey2]

wow......for it's day......that was a damn nice movie camera....and $74.00 was a huge chunk of cash

[reneecalling]

Wow, Ed Sullivan selling a color exposure camera in a black and white commercial.

[83zzw83]

@reneecalling whether or not the film is in colour depends on the film not the camera.

He's sitting & standing with rear projection behind him.

Wow. Ol' Ed wasn't even there ! The entire thing was shot with green screens. (or, were they "blue" back then...)

[wdashwor]

Uh...so they shoot hippos at Disneyland?? ooooooooo-kay. :-)

[fivebearrugs]

@wdashwor They always shoot the hippos on the Jungle Cruise..although they stopped it briefly a couple of years ago before bringing it back for their 50th anniversary in 2005.

Great! He got the best video shot of a hippo getting shot at! Thats a keeper! Get PETA on the phone and send in that video! Thanks Kodak!

Because, as we all know, one wears a business suit while visiting Disneyland.

R.I.P. Kodachrome.

i wonder how much that costs today. if it still works

[b30307]

@tayla2007m

8mm movie cams just like can be had for about $10. That model was "wind-up" and mechanical and many of them still work today. It was all metal and over-built. Back from the days when we still made things in America.

The film however is hard to find, and even harder to have developed.

Ironically, "The Ed Sullivan Show" wouldn't be seen in color until the 18th season (right after The Beatles' last apperance).

[oneandatwo]

Looks like Ed Sullivan never went to Disneyland in his life.

Between 1956 and '61, Ed's Sunday night CBS variety show was co-sponsored by Eastman Kodak {they also brought you "THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE & HARRIET" on ABC's Wednesday night schedule}, and occasionally, these kind of ads appeared on his program {and sometimes, on Ozzie's}. In the fall of 1961, Kodak dropped their sponsorship of those shows and began co-sponsoring "WALT DISNEY'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR" on NBC- the second half-hour directly opposite Ed!
