Batman and Robin commercial from 1987

[12fuzzyrats]

my reaction to this vid: O-o' i don't know if i should like this, or be terrified of it.

[MegaField64]

Animation is superb, but the writing is ridiculous

[Cookieofdoom]

... Like how we see a sad baby in the end..

[mrbobbyh]

The animation was really good and fits in well with the comics from those days

[Symos]

Erm, is it me or does it look like Batman and Robin are preventing legitimate business?

[tjhoenecke]

@Symos Canadian Batman and Robin are socialists.

[VFXNinja]

0:08 "FUCK YOUR SHIT CATWOMAN"

[paint4Christ]

Why are there not ads like this anymore?

[paint4Christ]

Heheheh this is hilarious!! XD

[ToxicSpadeVirus]

Batman scared the hell out of that little black girl at the end.

[imdb88]

@ToxicSpadeVirus Scaring the little GIRL?!?

[UltimateChaostorm]

That's some epic animation right there.

[Lion2Tiger]

The animation matches that of the comics from that era. I know cos I own some of them. Plus I have the 1991 Annual and the artwork is identical. This was two years before Burton reinvented the Caped Crusader.

[iBeeis]

Wow, that's some high-quality animation there.

[draskafer]

batmans cool but robin will always be fag

[MrCornToast]

so dynamic,

why arn't our cartoons like this these days?

[PufferBluntman]

So it's the catwoman who've ruined the economy!

[yellowcougar18]

Reminds me of the Superman anti Smoking advert, in terms of the animation.

[Wargurs]

i love how it cuts into cosby show

[Deader87]

Damn, I loooooove the 80s & 90s

[Stonezorz]

Holy Felines!.........Batman!

[DoctorPretorious616]

Great animation, crappy voice acting. It was kinda cool seeing the Golden Age Catwoman costume though, y'know; the one with the cape that also shows her cleavage!

[JLCL01]

@DoctorPretorious616

I believe the voice acting was done on purpose (either cheesiness-wise or exaggeration-wise).

[TheMrNamefag]

Fun fact: during the filming of this commercial there were, 12 rapes, 4 murders and 1 bank robbery.

[sirdaveysockrocker]

the animation is really good. you dont see animation like that anymore.

[WhiteNBi]

@sirdaveysockrocker YA I THOUGHT IT WAS MADE TODAY

[Hammi4Real]

i just love how batman waves his finger in every zellers ad

great stuff

[robingurl]

Yay for Dick Grayson Robin animation!! W00T! Wow, aside from the really bad voices this animation was AMAZING!!

[iDraw3G]

Hell yea, I jack off to this commercial!

[Rodeorigo]

Awesome animation. Then THE COSBY SHOW lol.

[n124491738]

BAT MAN IS NEED $?

[whiteboycracker]

you would of gotten +3,000,000 if you used the word banned in your discription

[monkeytruck88]

Batman is really angry.

[RyvernRaigon]

You have to admit, the animations are very good :D.

[ThisMightBeAndy09]

which Robin was that?

[robingurl]

er...Dick Grayson. o_O Look at the year it was published. Not only that I have yet to see a Jason Todd animation and it was too early for Tim Drake. Do your research before asking such questions. ;) it'll make you look a little smarter.

[Salveither]

WTF?????!!!!!!

[GozerJr]

What the hell show is the show that comes on at the end? Thats a weird looking Baby

[BATTY3459]

I think that might be Lee Meriwether's meow. They recorded the sounds of the bat-villains from the 1966 movie!

[jdude907]

Wow. Canadamation ftw!

[xviolentphilx]

WOW that animation rocks! sure their mouth movements were kinda weird, but i think it was meant to be comedic. but dang, it looks like straight out of a comic book. this is how cartoons should look!

[TheBoldBroadcast]

I agree! That is some serious style! I'd love to see a show rendered that way.

[JagaimoLoco]

0:12

Batman's finger enters a spasm while his jaw dislocates on one side.

It's so well animated!

[johnakeel]

I wish this had been a series too, Batman runs around everywhere trying to tell people about the great savings at Toyland.

[FireKracker44]

What the hell's wrong with their mouths?

[ninjamooseofthemist]

mouth spasms?... more importantly why even put catwoman in there she growls and disapeers. WHY!?!?

[MrMendez360]

@FireKracker44 yeah the animation on there mouts is so rough like oneyng videoss

[ahabbonerack]

I remember watching that commercial while watching my saturday morning cartoons!

[Nightavenger2]

I must say the animation is outstanding. It's way better than the crap cartoons have been using as of late with the animie that looks so stupid.

[JLCL01]

@Nightavenger2

Depends what exactly you mean by that. You mean western shows that use an anime style (Avatar: the Last Air Bender and Totally Spies) or anime itself?

Also, I recommended watching Akira, Ghost in the Shell (1995 movie), and/or Cowboy Bepop (all 3 that differentiate from Pokemanz, Yu-Gi-Oh-Fuck, Bleach and Nayrutard) if you haven't already.

[NEGAMEGASII]

XD Lol, awesome.

[haskellstoner]

Yes we do. It sucks. Nobody wants to sit through it, but thats how it is unfortunately. The only good thing about all the commercials is I usually have enough time to take a dump, get something to eat, and jerk off before the show comes back on.

[zombieboy5218]

looks like a mutant monkey baby at the end LOL

[Jokerhamil]

Why is Catwoman working at a toy store..?

[megamanxtc]

REALLY WELL DRAWN!

[JohnnyDrama34]

Wow. The Animation on this is better than any animated Batman t.v. show or movie I've ever seen. And, I could be mistaken, but Batman's voice sounds like the same guy that voiced him on SUPERFRIENDS (before Adam West started doing it).

[futuremoviemaker16]

The animation is awesome!!!

[bahijd]

but its good animated.

[SpadeHand]

ONLY AT ZELLERS ARE YOU PROTECTED BYYYY~~~~~

*blasts off into space*

[teamnerosonicX1997]

lol whats with the end

[Kharmaireth]

HOLY EDITING BATMAN

[Junkyard1105]

PAWS OFF THE CUSTOMERS CATWOMANNNN

[plaparen]

I woulden't mind catwomans paws on my body...

[haskellstoner]

You're not the only one. That was the best outfit Catwoman ever wore.

[plaparen]

Not really. The tight fitting catsuit was better.

:3

[monkeytruck88]

Geez, Batman sure is angry about toy prices.

[starsiegeplayer]

@monkeytruck88 Batman's angry because he sold out for a lousy toy store commercial :)

[wavpe09]

@monkeytruck88 of course he is. He's the GOD DAMN BATMAN!

[KelvTwelve]

"HOLY FELINE, BATMAN!"

That commercial was epic.

[ES992]

Nobody beats Zeller's prices on toys. *face shot* NOBODY.

[neddx]

Wow! The animation is great and Catwoman's hot!

[Lovesgoats]

I wish batman would do something about the PS3 price

[classicfreeze72]

@Lovesgoats lol funny

[jasonisrobin234]

Holy Crowbar batman...It's jason.... Who own me twelve bucks !!!!

[flapdoodle64]

This is still better than 'Batman Begins.'

[luutnantti111]

TOTALLY AGREED!!

[advancedrebel]

animation is a bit goofy but this still look pretty good

[azuzaj1]

your right okay. but i just dont like this "caped crusader" batman. im talkin truness to character persona not the logical obeservation. look ofcourse its batman, but just not the one i perfer. and i appreciate the art, as a comic book artist i love the look of the commercial.

[ComicBookGo]

Thas cool, Hey man you sound like a Batman fan, so I gotta ask; Who would U say are the 3 top Batman artists? There's no right or wrong answer of course,since that can more to opinion.Or even 3 best stories.Wut I hate about dis commercial is wen Bats is shakin his finger;I know its part of the humor but.

[ComicBookGo]

It's hard to find Batman fans these days I think.

[GreenLanternofEarth6]

It's hard to find comic book folks in general these days

[ComicBookGo]

God bless Alex Ross for keeping the shit alive then, huh? Stand tall Alex. Dont waiver. Ignore the sea of garbage impacting you, you know what REAL comix are. STAND YOUR GROUND!!!!

[azuzaj1]

look i know batman i read the comics and i know the campiness of the commercial. but personally its not the batman i like its not the dark knight.

[ComicBookGo]

I dont see wut"personally" has to do w/anything. I'm just talk'n facts, basic logical observations. Those two superheros are straight from the comicbooks. They frikn JUMPT outta da page and lived. Character wise? Commercial joke,not suppose 2 be Blatent display other than justice avengers

[azuzaj1]

i ment not bat as in its not batman this is just a waterdown superman with a cowl and an orphan circus boy in tights. even when i was little i didnt like this batman!

[ComicBookGo]

It's a commercial, the spirit of it is to be tongue in cheek. U can't account charactarization in a 2sec commercial. But the visual is EXACTLY Robin and Batman.EXACTLY. That's how they look like,that's how they're drawn,it's like a dam comic book come to life. Amazing

[azuzaj1]

yeah good but not to batman!

[ComicBookGo]

What does "not to Batman" mean?

[ComicBookGo]

Godam That's the coolest! Never saw in my life,frikn excellent.

[Yaegara]

holy felines batman!?

[racl101]

This Batman sounds like a neurotic Jewish old dude I know.

[realliveclaude]

Batman stole the show at Zellers !

[Jayfive67]

WOW GREAT ANIMATION!

[siccoyote]

great animation

[Scarecrow76]

The Zellers commercial with Joker was better, I think I might have it. The animation was awesome.

[teflonmagnet]

i'd love to be pawed by catwoman. back off bat guano.

[fukimotoz]

I love this commercial. Done in Toronto at what used to be called Lightbox Animation, I believe. It's an incredibly animated commercial. I remember walking in to Lightbox and seeing the animation cels framed on the walls of the studio. I wish I had asked to one for myself.

[TServo2049]

@fukimotoz Lightbox Animation also did the B:TAS pilot short, too...

[fukimotoz]

@TServo2049 Really? I did not know that. Thanks for the the info. Now I really wish they would have hired me back then, I could have worked on B:TAS pilot short. Alas, it was not meant to be.

[seanward]

Holy shit, I forgot about this one!! Look at that animation, wow!!!

[Galea007]

Nice & Cool Work

[teenteen45]

the cosby show was aired that time

[DwightFry78]

I like the drawing style but not the Jim Carrey-esque overdone facial expressions and movements.

[killermonkey82]

wow now that's what i call old school!

[Shredaded]

I believe the death penalty is attached to that law

[THEGLASSOFMILK]

I LOVE IT!!

[Anonimo3]

i like the animation

[Zarathusta]

Jason Todd!!! Yay, before he became semi evil and even before dead.

[MooseManCanuck]

Canucks?  lol

[Mintsauce27]

Batman sold his soul!!

[spongekitkat0422]

dam that's retro

[CHARROMISTERIO]

ITS JASON TODD!!!

[moonflower86]

I remember Zellers used to hand out Batman comics to the children

[CoreySosner]

That was great havent see that since I moved from MTL

[Muramasa007]

LMAO!!! I'm very surprised that animation was that good, let alone the art!

[jncorp]

I love seeing old commercials like this. If you have any more I'd love to see them!
