Guess what fans, the DVD of "Cinderella" is just about 5 months away, but I would like you to watch a commercial for McDonald's featuring Jac & Gus from "Cinderella" back in 1987. This commercial where they used to promote the re-release of "Cinderella" in which the fast food chain, McDonald's was given away stuffed ornaments from the film. Here is a synopsis from X-Entertainment:
McDonalds + Cinderella = Festive Fun!
The best of the McDonald's Christmas commercials are already splattered around X-E, but here's a new one. The fast food giants often devised special holiday promotions to ensure a wealth of December cheeseburger sales, and in 1987, the deal was this: spend a few bucks on McDonald's gift certificates, and you'd take home either "Gus" or "Jacques," the mice from "Cinderella". The plush dolls were ornament sized, noted by the tree-hanging loops of string busting out of their scalps, noted again by the fact that they're really really small. I've always been more of a fan of the gift certificates themselves, allegedly perfect stocking stuffers, with Birdie taking Abe's place on the five dollar McBill. The monetary value of 'em was unimportant -- moreover, the certificates were free tickets to McDonald's. So long as we had them, Papa couldn't say no.
Fans, you will love this old commercial. Watch!
McDonald's "Cinderella" Promotion - 1987
For those of you fans would love this commercial, be on the lookout for the DVD of "Cinderella" coming October 4th.
