@@mrh3894 only one way that i know. And thats something happens to the planet like it did to the dinosaurs and we regress so far that we have to start over from scratch again. Over a period of 2000 years we should reach the 80s and 90s again
There is also a similar one which appeared on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (the 1991 VHS) which appeared right after the RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video “Rotating Cube” logo (and before a trailer for Suburban Commando with Hulk Hogan and Shelley Duvall).
The 90s aesthetic is so beautiful. I wish I had technical knowledge in how that aesthetic was achieved but the lighting seems so flat yet atmospheric. The colours and graphic design simple yet approaching modernity; people just getting to grips with digital graphic suites. The 90's was kind of the last bastion of analog technique. Finally, the behaviours and psychology at play feels a lot more innocent and pure. It is like the content creators of those times created a bubble for young kids, like a self-aware dreamland devoid of politics.
(See my post just above yours!) This was advert made in the last days of analogue post-production. You see the 'animator' in the commercial hand-drawing the characters. Well that's how it was done back then, whilst I was working at Passion Pictures in London. A lot of us were ex-Who Framed Roger Rabbit crew. Lucasfilm's brief excursion into commercials began with this one. ILM did all the post production work on this. I went there to brief them about the animation elements which needed combining and compositing. Digital composting was in its infancy then. Passion Pictures developed it over the next few years with London-based post houses like 'Rushes Ltd' and MPC. Glory days!
It also has to do with the cameras they used then and the frame rate. I think 90s and some early 2000s films look good. IMHO higher frame rates don't add to film.
@KevinJonDavies I want to thank you for being an animator during possibly one of the greatest era for animation. You guys work to this day is still unmatched, idc what anyone comments after, it was beautiful! You guys helped make alot of us kids in the 90s really happy and we defend your work! Something about The late 80s early 90s was just incredible!
I definitely agree with dguy, Frankie. Burger King is still pretty good. Better than McDonald's now at least. I couldn't stand McDonald's for about a decade now!
This is the full length version of the first $1m commercial by Lucasfilm (with FX by ILM and animation by Passion Pictures Ltd, London), made in late 1989. The cut-down version is on RU-vid as "1990 - Burger King - BK Kids Club Commercial", posted in 2019. - I was an effects animator at Passion in London, and got a free trip over to ILM whilst working on this ad. (I saw them filming submarine models for 'The Hunt For Red October" whilst I was there, just before Xmas 1989.)
Yes those TMNT videos! I had 2 of I recall, far too young to remember when we got the tape but I definitely watched it alot. This commercial would begin my love for Whoppers.
I miss these guys so much!!! Kid Vid and the Burger King Kids Club were so awesome!!! They need a comeback!!! I know for a fact that kids these days would love these guys!! Should've never gotten rid of them in the first place nothing was wrong with them. If Ronald McDonald can last this long then Kid Vid and the Burger King Kids Club should be able to as well.
Oh my goodness I had those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles videos too!! And I definitely remember this commercial; I'd forgotten all about it...I miss commercials like this.
Same here!!! Good times! Do u remember when McDonald’s commercial with Thing from Addams Family? They were giving out VHS tapes of The Addams Family movies!
I’ll always remember the Breakfast Buddies as well as the Kids Clubs. In the 80’s and early 90’s, it was something very special to have McDonalds and Burger King. It was for many of us, a connection to America.
No way. This guy did the Cryptkeeper? I remember him from Sliders in the 90's. He was on an episode called "Lipshitz Live". I hated him, but now.... I have to respect him.
OMG i remember this! Was at the beginning of some VHS at somepoint, i'm sure of it, and often on TV. Nothing like good old high quality 90s fast food advertising.
The work that guy's doing at 0:04, that used to be the kind of work I wanted to do when I grew up. I loved drawing and wanted to make a career out of it, especially in advertising. Unfortunately, after the economy went bad there wasn't much work like that around. Thanks, Bush Jr.!
+Tornado1994 I knew it! I was like, this is high production stuff right here, but i wasnt sure cause it's basic fast food commercialism.. Cant believe they stuck that at the beginning of TMNT.
I used to watch this repeatedly back when I was a kid- but now I think about how that guy paid for his food and it got stolen from him by animated kids that he had drawn himself. Then he thinks that he can take that other guy's burger as well- and I know it also rightfully belonged to that man since he paid for that himself too.
It had a really nice "Inception" twist to it. I'm still processing what it REALLY means. Maybe we are all in a Burger King Commercial....and we don't even know it..... Maybe you are Vid Kid, and you didn't remember that until just now.
How I miss late 80s and 90s as a kid. Back when BK and restaurants. Made it about the kids and families. Nothing like it is today. Sad kids these days. Will never experience magic of our era
Jesus, this not only takes me back, but what a bizarre Inception like commercial. A commercial, within a commercial, within a commercial, within a whopper.
This was from the beginning of the Teenage Mutrant Ninja Turtles the movie VHS. I remember this, I would never fast forward through it because it would always make me hungry for a burger.
For like the past few months I was absolutely certain the mf with the wavy blonde hair and shades was part of the Burger King Kid’s Club but didn’t bother ever looking up to confirm it until now.
I'd love to see these characters brought back. The toys they used to make with their meals were pretty good, especially compared to the crude Happy Meal toys McDonalds make today. Tetley Tea (a popular British brand) recently brought back cartoon characters it used all the time in its '90s adverts, so why not give this bunch a second coming?
Live action Burger king kids club reunion commercial actor ideas. Kid Vid: Matt Daemon (Ford Vs. Ferrari) Snaps: Natalie Portman (Star wars) I/Q: Brad Pitt (Once upon a time in Hollywood) Boomer: Katy Perry (Zoolander 2) Wheels: Tom Holland (Spiderman Homecoming) Lingo: Ricky Martin Jaws: Kel Mitchell (All That)
Fun Fact: Burger King was originally gonna collabed nickelodeon to make series based kids meal, "Burger King Kids Club." However, nickelodeon thinks it's too similar to "TWAORM" so burger king end collab with nickelodeon.
It should have kept going all this meta-jumping until consciousness separated from matter and there was just an ontological mush of being and non being in a terrifying void filled with disembodied screams forever yeah yeah hamburgers
@BuckyOHare This was the work of Harvey Hoffenberg and his team at Saatchi in 1989. I was VP of advertising at the time. Still looks amazing 20 years later.
Omg.... That second dude was an actor from a Sliders episode. Lipshitz Live if anyone cares. He was the guy in the silver suit claiming to be an interdimensional traveller.
I miss 1990, and shouting at the sewers for the ninja turltes to shout back at me if they were real at my school.. and buying super mario toys from burger king or mcdonalds.. was it? who else remembers when either burger king or mcdonalds sold super mario toys? like the goombas. lol very good times we'll never get to relive.. btw I was born in 1984.
