The ad became an enigma when rediscovered in 2008, renewing the creators' interest in giving Freddie a second life.

Inspektor Maska is a GREAT example of using limited animation to a stronger effect. It proved that you can just use much less frames to make it work. This is something indie animation people really should embrace.

P.J. Parrot Melody Pops 1994-1999 Chupa Chups' slide whistle lollipops - a hit in European sweet shops and chemists alike - were marketed through the 1990's using a hip parrot who loved to cause musical mischief with the pops, as well as any different kind of woodwind or brass instrument.

Colonel Bleep is great

A very good point. While calling out corporations is important, our government is trying to force av laws like KOSA and SCREEN on EVERYONE under the guise of "protecting kids".

Jim Tyer animated this scene in this Batfink episode, once again employing the brilliant paper-thin character routine he used for the servants in Stuffy Durma. More fun, off-kilter expressions, movement and proportions as is customary with Tyer's animation.
