Funky Dr. Pepper theater ad

Below is an awesome little animated theater ad for Dr. Pepper, one of those spots that would play during intermission to get people to visit the snack bar. This was before the days of VCRs, DVRs and DVDs when seeing a film was much more of a social experience. You could see a movie, a cartoon short, and even the advertisements were fun and entertaining. This one was created by an animation studio in Dallas, Texas called Keitz & Herndon. I love the look of this commercial and the way the characters pop across the screen. The "jungle man" character would probably cause some flak today for being politically incorrect, but it's from a time when such caricatures were done without malice.
