McDonaldland Rises at Midnight

[psifla]

I was 7 years old, living in Richmond, VA, when I first saw this... and more than 20 years on, in the UK, I still remember it well!

OMG! Thanks so much for posting this! I had forgotten all about this one! I remember I begged my mom to take me to sears when I was a kid just so I could look for the mcdonaldland characters!

[haimerejd]

this is so awesome!!

I remember this ad. Sears was a bit too good for us as well.

Does anybody remember the talking Tree in some of the mcdonalds playgrounds???? i vaguely remember it...

[FordSUVs]

Captain Crook looks surprisingly not creepy or...uh...smoldering like in the 70s. And apparently the Mayor McCheese/ H.R. Puffenstuff copyright infrigement policy cleared!

Captain Crook was redesigned into "The Captain."

Just a marketing strategy used by McDonald's to get people to buy their food and what not.

Hahaha, Great one Ed. I remember the place, just never actually saw it, Sears was to good for us back then. I was a Woolworth's kid, you know, the place where you could buy a shirt, sandwich, and cat all in one stop, for about ten bucks "That place had all the great He-Man knock off action figures".

Wow, this really takes me back. I remember this ad appearing several times on this tape I used to watch as a little kid that had old Peanuts and Garfield TV specials on it.

I remember McKids now I think when I was a kid I had a McKids backpack.

[specialed81]

I remember McKids. At least now I do...the repressed memories of those events, suddenly rushing back, no Uncle McCheese, I don't want to taste your pickle! Oh the horror!
