I was thinking that this same style of depicting people as very simple and stubby characters made its way to the Pink Panther cartoons.
The Pink Panther and Inspector cartoons of the sixties are another goldmine of modern style. And the backgrounds are very cool!!

These are all great, Amid. Thanks for sharing! I go to archive.org quite a bit and watch animatied commercials like this with both amazement and envy. It’s rare to find a traditionally animated commercial AT ALL nowadays… let alone finding one where the design isn’t hidden by 30 different cuts in a 30 second spot… OR having the animation hidden by tons of effects and tones and hi-lites.

Yes, thanks for showcasing these to us, Amid! Loved it. I’m glad that you give us some nice larger images on some of them, too.
Oh, and by the way, guys, I mentioned some nifty animated 50’s commercials on my blog some time ago, You can check out more on my Flickr, too, although the quality is not as good as our dear friend Amid’s here.
