The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV) | U.S. Department of Energy - "Cinderella Disco Ball" (PSA, 1980) @FuzzyMemoriesTV | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 8 hours ago
Here's one of a series of an animated public service announcements (PSAs) for the Department of Energy featuring "Energy Ant."
Note: This is to replace an earlier, now broken (unplayable) video posting, preserved as an unlisted video here to save the original comments: youtu.be/J65it8G6--U)
This one has the motif of Cinderella heading from a "Disco Ball" in a huge gas-guzzling vehicle to highlight how much energy we thought we had, and how, as supplies ran low, her modern "coach" turned into the equivalent of a pumpkin, and as this ends, she is driven off by her prince on a bicycle - all to emphasize the importance of saving energy.
Also as a bonus, a WFLD Lost in Space bumper from WFLD Channel 32 (on which this PSA aired), and partial closing credits with voiceover promos for Underdog and Tennessee Tuxedo by Dr. Don Rose who tells us, “We love ya - we love ya a lot!”
"Once upon a time, we thought America had all the energy we could ever need..."
"The Difference You Make - Makes All The Difference"
This aired on local Chicago TV on Tuesday, June 17th 1980.
