Beer Commercial Reel

Automotive Commercial Reel

Paul Fennell Studios (ca. mid 1950s)

As our members already know, the Paul Fennell Studio was a pioneer in animated television advertising. This time, we are featuring two commercial reels from the mid 1950s.

This commercial reel deals with automotive products- tires, gasoline, motor oil… The Shell gasoline commercial designed by Ed Benedict is a real standout with infectious music and animation. Spots like this certainly wouldn’t get tiresome upon repeated viewings. If you compare the Shell Motor Oil spot to our earlier reel of 1940 theatrical commercials, you will see how Fennell repeated and updated certain concepts from his earliest advertising cartoons.

Because of the ephemeral nature of commercials from the early days of television, these prints may be the last surviving copies of these films in existence. Animation Resources thanks the family of Paul Fennell for sharing these with us.

The latest Animation Reference Pack was just released and it’s jam packed with fantastic material to study and inspire you… This one is even bigger than our last one, with volume 2 of our e-book series on the Austrian caricature magazine “Die Muskete”, a classic Russian fairy tale featurette, and a series of Disney educational films from the 1950s

But that’s not all… This time we are re-running some of our hardest to find videos… incredibly rare films based on Lawson Wood’s Gran’pop Monkey and a reel of Campbells Soup commercials that includes what may be the first animated commercial aired in color!

Schmidt's Beer Commercial Reel

Schmidt’s Beer Commercial Reel

Paul Fennell Studios (ca. 1956)

It isn’t often that you have the opportunity to follow the development of a television advertising campaign from beginning to end, but this is one of those rare occasions. Ed Benedict designed a series of spots for Schmidt’s Beer with director Paul Fennell in the mid-1950s. This reel is a complete collection of spots that chart a fascinating evolution. The pitch becomes focused, and Benedict’s style evolves from round cute animals, to simple stick figures, all the way to hyper stylized characters similar to his designs for Tex Avery’s “Field and Scream”. Benedict’s layouts in these spots are brilliant, and even though Fennell’s animation is by necessity simple due to the limitations of television budgets, it is still rhythmic, snappy and very fun.

This reel of animated commercials produced by the Paul Fennell Studios includes spots that haven’t been seen in over 75 years. We thank the family of Paul Fennell for sharing them with us.
