Post Sugar Crisp - Factory (1993, Canada)

The Hall of Advertising 2026-09-22 | Post Sugar Crisp - Factory (1993, Canada)

Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society - Faroe Islands (1989, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-06-04 | Sir Anthony Hopkins narrates the story of a group of pilot whales that flocked to the Faroe Islands and were welcomed by the islanders with smiles on their faces and harpoons in their grasp, in a wretched cinema PIF painting frame by frame an animated portrait of the everlasting threat of whaling. Despite its graphic and nightmare-inducing nature, it was bestowed with a U certificate - PG when submitted as a film - likely because animated depictions of animal cruelty don't read as much of an offence to the BBFC as filmed portrayals (see also: Watership Down). Directed by Charlie Paul at Ian Single Film Co Ltd.

Perrier - Cezanne (1980s, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-06-03 | One of the earliest commercial works of Charlie Paul, best known in this space for his chilling paint-animated PIFs, taking direct inspiration from Paul Cezanne.
SOUNDTRACK: Harry Belafonte - Two Brothers

Volkswagen - Mafia (2016, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-06-02 | Humorous cinema ad for Volkswagen presented at arthouse-friendly venues like Picturehouse, before Seat would take their place as the leading sponsor for independent cinema, showing that as handy as certain features of their cars can be, they're not as well-equipped for blockbusters. Directed by Nick Gordon at somesuch.

Fosters - Confession (1998, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-06-02 | Another classic from the cinema ad DVDs. “He who drinks Australian thinks Australian.” Directed by Daniel Kleinman at Spectre.

Twix - Gnome (1997, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-06-02 | A lesser seen ad featuring the Norm (Stephen Taylor Woodrow), and the only one transferred through a digital master I could find, but he just had to appear on this channel somehow.

Volkswagen - Alien (2016, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-06-01 | Humorous cinema ad for Volkswagen presented at arthouse-friendly venues like Picturehouse, before Seat would take their place as the leading sponsor for independent cinema, showing that as handy as certain features of their cars can be, they're not as well-equipped for blockbusters. Directed by Nick Gordon at somesuch. Rated 15.

Steve Madden Shoes - Chick Walker (2001, USA)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-06-01 | An explosion of animated cut-out photography on behalf of Steve Madden, as seen in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street (as Jordan Belfort made $22 million from securing Madden's IPO the year his company went public, and Madden would be sentenced for numerous methods of financial fraud the year after this ad was released). Directed by David Kelley at Curious Pictures.

Golden Wonder - Fleas (1995, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-06-01 | The team behind the YoGorilla ads worked on a British ad, too! Retaining the energy of their Australian works, this ad depicts a team of flea motorcyclists trying to work on a death-defying finale. Directed by Nick Donkin at Flying Gherkin.

Reebok - Talking Tennis Balls (1992, USA)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-31 | Men are such balls. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld at Industrial Light & Magic.

Heinz Baked Beans - Christine (2007, Australia)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-31 | In a very, very of-its-time advert from Australia, Ryan Phillips meets an old boyfriend of his. Also aired in the UK, where plenty of people *still* treat the idea of trans identity as a novelty and/or a threat. Directed by Steve Saussey at Film Construction.

Sheenas Place - Hansel and Gretel (v2, 2002, Canada)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-31 | The broadcast version of a grim hand-drawn PSA against children's eating disorders that I just recently released from privacy after having it claimed for some time. Directed by Andy Knight at Red Rover.
Alternate version: youtube.com/watch?v=DeH0WF5YE2A

Auto Loan Pro - Laptop/Puck (2024, USA)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-30 | Two commercials for Auto Loan Pro featuring St. Louis Blues player Robert Thomas, that aired exclusively during the Bally Sports Midwest hockey games. Recorded on February 15th and 22nd respectively and submitted by Shay, who had this to say: "I think they're kind of funny - the guy in the helmet is a player for the team and is half-heartedly playing along lol." Requests may not be permitted, but submissions are always open!

Pringles - Infinite Dancing (2001, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-30 | Submitted by Jonny Maxwell. Requests may not be permitted, but submissions are always open!
The second in a trilogy of Pringles ads tied into the 2001 MTV Ibiza festival. A Designers' Republic production.

Greater London Authority - Littery Fairy (2004, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-29 | The 15-rated version of the Litter Fairy PIF, in which narrator John Hurt conveys significantly more scorn towards litterers who wholeheartedly believe that their discarded rubbish just magically goes away overnight than the kid-friendlier version. Directed by Seb Edwards at The Brave Film Company.

Greater London Authority - Litter Fairy (2004, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-29 | A cinema PIF which imagines what it would be like if a fairy during one sleepy night fulfilled one simple task that lazy human Londoners could have accomplished themselves. John Hurt narrates, and the ad is rated U. The alternate version, however...
Directed by Seb Edwards at The Brave Film Company.

Yop - Mamma (2004, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-29 | An advert for Yoplait's yoghurt drink that invaded viewers' heads at the time but is rather cursed in retrospect, twisting Eddy Grant's anti-apartheid cry "Gimme Hope Jo'anna" into "Gimme Yop Me Mamma" and using 2004 CGI to blast a heavy Jamaican voice out of three inanimate white teenagers' (plus one Black girl's) mouths. Directed by James Pilkington at Partizan Midi Minuit.

Holsten Pils - Waste (1995, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-28 | Following Jeff Goldblum's tenure as spokesman for Holsten, Denis Leary signed on to add some real edge to cinema-oriented beer advertising. Directed by Frank Budgen at Gorgeous. Rated 15.
Cinema version: hatads.org.uk/catalogue/record/7c18887e-b2e1-44be-b309-e67e4c176340

Holsten Pils - Drink Drive (1995, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-28 | The most infamous of Denis Leary's work for Holsten, which aired on television post-watershed, reprising his song "Asshole" to sell beer and to prevent dads from drinking said beer before driving. Directed by Frank Budgen at Gorgeous.

Holsten Pils - Gun (1995, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-28 | A cinema exclusive addition to Denis Leary's edgy Holsten Pils campaign, which is his personal favourite campaign he ever signed on for particularly because of this one ad in which he gets to kill a guy. Directed by Frank Budgen at Gorgeous. Rated 15.

Holsten Pils - Implants (1995, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-28 | Following Jeff Goldblum's tenure as spokesman for Holsten, Denis Leary signed on to add some real edge to late-night beer advertising. Directed by Frank Budgen at Gorgeous.

Holsten Pils - Monroe (1987, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-28 | Part of a humorous, long-running campaign in which Griff Rhys Jones is near seamlessly Dead-Men-Don’t-Wear-Plaid-ed into vintage cinema, selling Holsten beer to the stars of yesteryear - like what David Rees Talbot would later do to The Wizard of Oz on behalf of Halifax but with actual charm. In this cinema spot, he is seen as a plumber wandering into Some Like It Hot, exchanging innuendos with Marilyn Monroe. Directed by Graham Rose at Rose Hackney Barber.

Scotland Against Drugs - Paranoid Instamatic (1996, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-27 | *CONTAINS FLASHING IMAGERY.*
A gnarly anti-drug PIF that sees a photograph of a drug-addicted teen develop into something horrid, pushing the effects of speed or acid beyond their limit and transforming a smiling face into a fucked up monster. Have a nice sleep. Directed by Rob Sanders at Helen Langridge Associates. Rated 15.

Scotland Against Drugs - Aggression (1996, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-27 | *CONTAINS A DEPICTION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.*
Another angry and hard-hitting anti-drug PIF targeted to Scottish youth, showing how drug abuse amongst teens can easily lead to rape. Not for the faint of heart. Directed by Rob Sanders at Helen Langridge Associates.

Scotland Against Drugs - Aspirations (1996, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-27 | A rough Scottish PIF examining how youth drug abuse takes the lives of the victims and the people working in medical in a different, undeserved direction to where they aspired to be as children. Directed by Rob Sanders at Helen Langridge Associates.

M&Ms on Entertainment Tonight (2006, USA)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-26 | An extensive compilation of M&M guest appearances on ET through 2006, covering awards season and blockbuster film and television. So expect celebrities act devoted enough to the spokescandies as for the Black Eyes to almost consider changing their name to "the Blue Eyed Peas." Or Michael Bublé to almost consider changing his name to "Michael Blue-blé". How cute. Animation directed by Kirk Kelley at LAIKA/house.

The Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief (1989, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-25 | *CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGERY, INCLUDING DEAD BODIES, FAMINE AND EXECUTIONS.*
A hard-hitting three-minute film produced on behalf of the Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief, founded by Baron Leonard Cheshire in his final years to divest $10 for every life taken by past wars to invest $1 billion in permanent funds to relieve war, famine and other international catastrophes of the present and future. In response to the destruction of the Berlin wall, Roger Waters held The Wall in Berlin as a fundraiser, and the charity was intended to reap all profits spent on the concert's CD and video releases, but after sales disappointed and the charity's trading arm struggled, the charity folded.

The charity may be long gone, but you can still fight the disasters and genocides that continue to run rampant today.

Smiths Crisps - Potato Field (1983, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-24 | A memorable British classic for a good many reasons, in which five stop-motion spuds refuse to be taken as generic brand crisps and sing about how if they were to be skinned alive and chopped up into oily processed food, they'd rather die as Smith's crisps. @mrsmcl6117, who is on a hot, productive streak and is really worth your subscription, found this 2K 35mm scan two weeks ago, and call it envy but it did become apparent to me that the print's colours were too dark and washed out. Fiddled around with brightness, contrast and colour mapping effects to get the ad looking as close to authentic as I possibly could and this is the result! Directed by Denis Russo at Clearwater.

Misty Tropical Liqueur - Girls (1985, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-23 | A significant presence in yesterday's cinema advert uploads, this piece by Morton and Jankel depicts various women through history morphing into each other as they enjoy a Misty and lip sync to the Beach Boys' 'When Girls Get Together'. The ad was directly inspired by the video for Godley & Creme's 'Cry' from a few months prior to its airing, and was as such directed with their consent and approval. Directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel at Cucumber Studios.

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-13 | At one point in 1996, four Sonics were placed as special labels on select Masterfoods brand multipacks, which came to life if you stored them in the fridge. Here's the advert!

Golden Nuggets - Jurassic (2007?, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-12 | In a Golden Nuggets endeavour that slices the animation budget, Klondike Pete takes the kids on a time-travelling adventure back to the dinosaur age. A T-rex approaches from behind, and Pardner stops the beast in front of Pete's very eyes. His *open* eyes. And he somehow doesn't notice. Pete's clearly getting old at this rate. Directed by Gary Dunn.

Golden Nuggets - Bird Suits (2002, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-12 | KIondike Pete strikes gold and vows to protect this crispy bounty from the bandits, unbeknownst that his Gromit-esque steed Pardner is doing all the hard work for him. Directed by Gary Dunn at Richard Purdum Productions.

Golden Nuggets - River Raft (2002, UK)

Golden Nuggets - Elastic (2002, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-12 | More of the same with prospector KIondike Pete and his steed Pardner, and at this point the agency has figured out that "honey-crunchin' good" is a bit of an understatement for this cereal, when a more accurate descriptor for how it tastes would be "YEEE-HAA!!" Directed by Gary Dunn at Richard Purdum Productions.

Golden Nuggets - Boxing Glove (2000, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-11 | KIondike Pete strikes gold and vows to protect this crispy bounty from the bandits, unbeknownst that his Gromit-esque steed Pardner is doing all the hard work for him. Directed by Gary Dunn at Richard Purdum Productions.

Golden Nuggets - Railroad (2000, UK)

Golden Nuggets - Bucket Bomb (1999, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-11 | The introductory ad for a revived Nabisco cereal that is still thriving in the UK today (albeit without its mascots because of the government). KIondike Pete strikes gold for the first time since the 70's and vows to protect this crispy bounty from the bandits, unbeknownst that his Gromit-esque steed Pardner is doing all the hard work for him. Directed by Gary Dunn at Richard Purdum Productions.

Hersheys Really Big! 3D Show (in 3D, 2002, USA)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-10 | Monoscopic version: youtube.com/watch?v=t7SF5cnzkGs
The 3D attraction hosted at Hershey's Chocolate World for eleven years, presented here in stereoscopic 3D for those with red-and-blue glasses. Produced by Lawrence Kasanoff's Threshold animation studio, this film would lay the groundwork for its artists' involvement in an even greater corporate icon orgy, Foodfight, which was still intended to be animated entirely in keyframes around then. Expect a song and dance with smiling chocolate bars, nothing too off-kilter like the 4D show at M&M's World. Directed by Gary Goddard at Threshold Digital Research.

Aflac - Bugs and Daffy (2004, USA, REPOST)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-05-06 | **NOW ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL, EDITED SLIGHTLY TO KEEP COPPA'S GRUBBY CHRISTOFASCIST HANDS OFF OF THESE CHARACTERS WHO WERE ORIGINALLY GEARED TOWARDS ADULT AUDIENCES**
The Aflac duck's attempts at outwitting Bugs Bunny predictably turn out a bust when another duck named Daffy can't recall the insurance he surprisingly has, all while Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner spend their own definition of a "normal" day. Directed by Frank Molieri at ACME Filmworks.

Pepperoni Hug Spot - Pizza Magic (2023, USA)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-04-01 | **EPILEPSY WARNING**
Artificial intelligence has proven capable of not only creating effective, competent advertising but assisting with naming independent businesses as well, as proven in this local commercial for the newly launched pizza joint Pepperoni Hug Spot, which took the internet by storm when it first released on YouTube. This AI prompt technology was still in its early stages, for both the video output and the script, but as recent software developments have proven, it's just the start of something amazing. Here's to a brighter future, where anything is possible. A Pizza Later production.

Microsoft Copilot - Watch Me (2024, USA)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-04-01 | Microsoft's Super Bowl commercial for their AI platform Copilot tests the limits of human endeavours, portraying several wounded young individuals seeking empowerment through artificial intelligence that no higher-up but Microsoft could comprehend, fighting against the system by relying on AI-generated information to educate them. Who needs real artists or photographers, or teachers, or even Wikipedia? The future is AI, and it's looking incredible. Bless you, Bill Gates. Directed by Brian Klugman, Bradley Stonesifer and David Palmer at Panay Films.

Cadburys Mini Eggs - Snooker (1991, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-03-31 | Recorded by Daniel Carter.
Mr. Cadbury's Parrot goes berserk in his whimsical introductory advert as mascot for Cadbury's Easter treats. Subsequent airings of this advert reshot a scene to undo a bit of body horror, so the geezer's face getting whammed by a piano top wouldn't hurt him so much or scare the audience. Directed by Ian Emes at Jennie & Co..

Nationwide Anglia Estate Agents - Woodstock (1988, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2024-01-13 | Recorded by Daniel Carter.
One of several rare ads in which the Snoopy and the Peanuts gang sell UK home buying, carrying on from their MetLife insurance campaign back in the States. Likely produced by Mendelson and Melendez as per usual, but it's quite surreal to hear Charlie Brown talking in such a false accent.

Coca-Cola - Northern Lights (1993, USA)

The Hall of Advertising 2023-12-26 | And, since the family's turned 30 this year, here is the first animated appearance of Coca-Cola's winter mascots, who were inspired by a print ad from 1922 and would go on to inspire follow-up ads and merchandise for the following 20 years, and have barely made a peep since then. Directed by Mike Fink at Sierra Hotel Productions, with animation by Rhythm & Hues.

Coca-Cola - Christmas Caravans (1995, USA)

The Hall of Advertising 2023-12-25 | Holidays are coming, holidays are coming, holidays are coming, holidays are coming... VFX by Industrial Light & Magic.

Sainsburys - Mogs Christmas Calamity (2015, UK)

The Hall of Advertising 2023-12-25 | With Lupus Films' endearing hand-drawn Mog special having just aired, it's worth kicking off Christmas Day with a different take on Edith Kerr's clumsy cat. Following the success of the first Paddington film, Framestore was tasked to do the same thing to Mog for Sainsbury's big Christmas ad, in which her fear of Christmas ruins the whole holiday for the Thomas family. Directed by James Rouse at Outsider, narrated by Emma Thompson.
