"How the Light Came Anyway When the Sun Overslept". Norwegian Philips Advertisement. Animation by Hans Fischerkoesen, 1937. www.animatekafestival.org/en/f...
Yes it's Norwegian. Old written Norwegian like we don't write any more. Norway is not a memeber of the EU if that is what you're talking about, if not I have no idea what you're on about...
I presume this cartoon was made in Germany, where this particular film studio was located. With that in mind, it's ironic and actually tragic that the heads of the star / angels closely resemble the yellow Star of David that Jews would be made to wear by the Nazis in Germany.
indeed, look at the lightbulbking at 4:19min, those are all yellow stars and for sure this video from 1937 is from the third empire. Its from Fischerkösen so german but i never seen an international spot before. Fischerkösen did some Jobs for the Nazis: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IV0oIa9k_yE.html
@@cleanTron I suspect this same cartoon was used in more than one European country where Philips light bulbs were sold. Only the last two shots had to be changed to incorporate different languages. The only other words that appear are in English: "Sunrise" and "Lady Sun", which weren't tied to any particular country. But it's still VERY strange that the yellow Star of David appears frequently, since the Nazis were already controlling Germany.
Holy fuck! A whole 5-minute ad?? So, did commercial breaks with ads like these HAVE JUST ONE, or were they like FIFTEEN MINUTES LONG?? o.O That just seems excessive... I mean, say what you will about "shorter attention spans", but I don't really think you need to MAKE A MINI-EPISODE of some fictional show, for christ sake.
Commercial breaks? You mean like on television? Which wasn't a common household item until the 50s? Maybe next time think a minute before you start ranting. These ads, like other cartoons, were designed to be shown before "feature" films in movie theaters.
I wouldn't decide between Osram and Philips, both companies are experienced. One interesting thing is, that history repeats. Telefunken, producing consumer electronics, as equipment for professional sound, purchased a record company and put all the experience into this. It was early 1930's. Philips did the same after WW2. Became later part of the phonogram group.
