While thinking of those affected by the Southern California wildfires and suggesting Operation USA as a good place to donate, we turn to the topic of today's post, cartoons appropriate for National Milk Day, an event originated in India and now set on January 11. We'll start with Toby The Pup.
While perusing the Borden Dairy Products Commercial Archive on YouTube, we continue with a cartoon which is not a milk commercial per se but got a second life when Borden's Milk re-issued it. Produced by Ted Eshbaugh's studio for RKO Radio Pictures as part of its Rainbow Parade series, The Sunshine Makers is an all-time favorite and a most jaunty tale of happy dwarves and sunshine milk which instantly cures depression and literally glows. What's in that sunshine milk and how can I procure some?
There actually is an ad for SUNSHINE MILK. . . and it's powdered milk, something familiar to those of us who grew up in the 1950's and 1960's and greeted the product without as much as a hint of anticipation or enthusiasm.
Since this blog showcased animated commercials last October 19, October 12, October 4 and September 9, here are a bunch of ads appropriate for National Milk Day, beginning with American Dairy Association and its little animated BUTTER fellow that resembles a piece of bread.
Responding to tough guy Pet Milk Pete, must admit that evaporated and/or condensed milk is pretty darn good for use in pumpkin pie filling.
This cheesiest of cheesy ads hails from New Zealand.
In closing, here are some stylish John & Faith Hubley Storyboard ads in the Cartoon Modern tradition.
