Quickdraw McGraw - Retromercial

I directed this spot for Boomerang, Cartoon Network's sister network devoted entirely to Hanna-Barbera's catalog of shows and films from the 50's to '70's. There were a series of 3 that were done at Primal Screen (Atlanta). I did the 50's themed one, with a nod to UPA and mid-century design. I guess you could say that this is what started it for me -- I totally got hooked on that style of animation when I did the research for this spot.

Details: Done in 2001. Direction: Ward Jenkins; Assist: C. Edwards; Backgrounds: Justin Winslow.

Man, I saw this 9 years ago in Boomerang Latin America. It always made me laugh. Well done :)

That was brilliant! Love the sound edit to make it not completely stereo and oldie-like. Well done indeed :D
