Put away your Coco Pebbles and kiss your Lucky Charms goodbye! Once upon a time, cartoon characters sold you beer, cigarettes, automobiles and other grown-up necessities of life. Fred Flintstone smoking Winston Cigarettes? Mr. Magoo selling Beer? This is just wrong! Animation historian Jerry Beck makes it all right with an assemblage of outrageous and hilarious 30- and 60-second spots from the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s, mostly on 16mm film, featuring a parade of famous big-name cartoon stars and long lost products you'll wish still existed. This program also features rare early commercials featuring Charlie Brown, Bugs Bunny, Casper and Woody Woodpecker, in ads created by the likes of Tex Avery, Stan Freberg, Friz Freleng and Chuck Jones. How can you resist this offer? Being sold something was never so much fun!
