I worked as an illustrator for Disney Consumer Products for awhile. My first assignment was doing a "Powerpuff Girls" take on Tinkerbell. The Peter Pan commercial in this video was one of the sources I was provided to make copies of for reference, from copies of the original animator's drawings. Still have them. Thanks.
Cliff Edwards, aka Jimmy Cricket and Ukulele Ike, does the voiceover on the first Peter Pan peanut butter ad. In the third Peter Pan commercial June Foray is the voice of the kid wearing the cowboy hat.
Those ads for Peter Pan probably pre-date the FDA standardizing what peanut butter is (a minimum of 90% peanuts). Prior to that, several manufacturers were adding lots of sugar and shortening. Of course, nutrition information was not provided for most products. Consumers were told they had choices but were given no information by which to make INFORMED choices.
@loneshewolf74 The safety record of major peanut butter brands is solid. Back 15 or so years ago, off-brands had an issue. And of course Jif not so long ago had a crisis. Natural Jif is my go-to peanut butter. Canadians can buy Dark Roast Jif, which ironically is made in the USA. I mail ordered two jars. Good stuff but like regular Jif, oversalted.
1) "Twinkles" was introduced in 1960. And was also seen in 90 second installments {narrated by George S. Irving} featured on "KING LEONARDO AD HIS SHORT SUBJECTS" [primarily sponsored by General Mills]. They also briefly appeared on "ROCKY AND HIS FRIENDS" that season, but Jay Ward objected to General Millls doing that, as he preferred his own brief segments- "Bullwinkle's Corner" and "Mr. Know-It-All"- on his program (and he didn't care for Total Television's animated series, even though they both used the "Gamma Productions" studio in Mexico). 2) As seen on "DISNEYLAND" in 1956. Swift's Derby Foods division, the makers of Peter Pan, was one of the three rotating sponsors of the series during is first few seasons. Tinkerbell was usually featured in those ads, animated by Disney's staff [including Bill Peet, who was forced to work in the studio's commercial department for a while, due to a disagreeent he had with Walt over a scene he animated for "Sleeping Beauty"]. 3) Another 1956 ad, narrated by Bill Thompson {who was "Smee" in the "Peter Pan" feature, yet best known as "Droopy" in Tex Avery's MGM cartoons, and many characters on the "FIBBER McGEE AND MOLLY" radio show}. 4) Originally seen in 1957. Dick Beals is the other kid. 5) Originally seen in 1955. American Motors was another rotating sponsor of "DISNEYLAND". Designed by Tom Oreb, and animated by Disney's staff. 6) Originally seen in 1955. Oreb also designed this ad, produced by Disney's commercial unit June Foray is Pinocchio's voice. Art Ballinger speaks for the Hudson Hornet. 7) Originally seen in 1955. Another Oreb design. 8) Originally seen in 1955. Oreb again. 9) Originally seen in 1954. Animated by Shamus Culhane's studio. 10) Originally seen in 1955. Culhane also produced this one. 11) Originally seen in 1958. Daws Butler provides a few voices.
General Mills brought back their 1961 Twinkles cereal recently! Limited time product likely, but I bought a box! Reminds me of Remilia Nephys' favorite cereal, Honey Stars.
Twinkles! I vaguely remember the cereal but have a clearer memory of a stand-alone Twinkles story book which was found located in piles of stuff within the 2nd of two houses that I and my siblings grew up in.
I wonder why they chose to leave in the cross by the side of the road (at about the 9:40 mark) in the Nash commercial. You know: those crosses people put up when someone died in a car crash.

Will never see charm in ads like that again

On the plus side, it *probably* didn't have any salmonella.

After the war my father sold cars for a while. He worked at a Hudson dealership and said that car sold itself. He loved it.

The voice of the male cigar in the Muriel commercial belongs to Artie Malvin
That commercial is on a lot of TV commercial compilation DVDs, but this copy is in much better condition than the others.
I guess allowed imagination quality himself guess.
Black and white commercials animations quality inside new 1950s and 1960s oh course.

4:09 I’m pretty sure that’s Charlie O’Donnell narrating the American Motors ad with Jiminy Cricket.
When cars had personality and each year who would be a different personality and these cheesy commercials would make a cheese head blush
They just brought Twinkles back. Never had it before but I bought it today and will try it later.
Wow, Twinkles crreal. I haven't thought of that in years! Lol
RIP P-nut. 🙏🙏🙏
I hear Rocky the flying squirrel voice in some of the carectors

I wonder why Tom Oreb made designs for Disney characters
Im a dancing cancer stick
