Does anybody remember this commrcial? If you haven't seen Alice with Sterling Holloway for the Jell-O commercial. Here is another rare gem. This is from 1955, the same year that Disneyland opened its gates. It features the Chesire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland". It is very, very rare. Thanks to Super8Monster at YouTube for this great find. Sadly, this rare commercial was not included in the "Alice in Wonderland" DVD, I hope it will re-release as a PE soon with a rare commercial with Alice in a Jell-O ad from 1955. Enjoy!

Wow, what a find! It's rare to see classic Disney animation that good outside of the films! An extra helping of our favorite characters animated well! It's just too bad the commercial wasn't in color. It would have been cool to see the Chesire Cat change yellow, orange, and green! I hope Disneykid sees this!

I enjoyed this. I love the "Jell-O for energy!" selling point. Laughing

I have arrived, and THAT was a cool commercial. The animation seems to me to be redrawn from the original film cels. The poses and general animation are definitely lifted from the actual film, but I noticed less detail on Alice's face in some shots. Also, the outlines of the characters are way thicker than the originals. The backgrounds also have gone through the same process as the character animation: based off of the original, but redone specifically for this commercial. I'm not sure why they did all that when they could've just as easily taken the actual clips from the film that they rotoscoped for this. Still, it's fascinating to watch. Also fascinating is how much more Kathryn Beaumont sounds like her adult self in this than she does in both Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan when this commercial came out just two years after the latter. Excellent find, musicradio! God bless YouTube! Very Happy

Aw, I almost can't help but find stuff like this way touchung. Just reminds me of the great history that Disney has and for how long it's been a huge part of our everyday life.

And yeah, if only they would promote jell-o as an energizer today. Outta spice things up a bit Razz

I love it! Even though I realize that this was an early commercial, the editing is pretty poor. I would have also enjoyed seeing this in color, so we could see the Cheshire Cat change colors.

I have to agree with Disneykid on this one, the animation does seem like it was traced directly from the actual film. The backgrounds are also second-rate copies of the film versions (see when the grins are appearing on the trees, as opposed to signs being on them).

BUMPITY BUMP BUMP

Just wondering if anyone caught how long the commercial was and if there is another place to see it. I've searched Google and YouTube without any sign of a playing commercial. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it because I would love to see it again. Thanks.

Don't worry atlanticaunderthesea,it's just re-used animation from the scene that Alice meets that Cheshire Cat in black and white and they're saying "there's nothing like Jell-O" over and over).

Oh ok Ariel's Prince - but I would have liked to have heard Kathryn do more Alice voice-over work, as I havnt heard her do anything outside of the Alice movie, apart from the theme park ride.
