"The dog's dinner", 80's TV ad with Footrot Flat's Dog.

An ad from New Zealand TV for dog food. It uses "Dog" from the "Footrot Flats" comic strips & movie. My guess is that the ad came out after the movie, which was released in 1986. The animated scene may even be from the movie?

it's fun...how do you get it from tape to youtube?

[timarulad]

@therealartwerx It's quite simple how I got this on to here. My digital video camera can record from an outside input. I simply play the old video tape on my TV, which then sends the signal to my camera and now I have it in digital format which I can upload here.

did "dog" sell any dog food?

[timarulad]

I don't think he sold much. I can't even remember this type of dog food, it's certainly not being sold now days. If I hadn't found this ad on an old tape then I'd know nothing about it.

that scene wasnt from the movie. thing is the illustrator/ creator of Footrot flats, Murray Ball can create scenes to suit ads or movies.

To answer your question: none of this footage is in the movie, it was just made for the advert. It's still pretty good, though.
