    The "Everybody's Heading for McDonaldLand" commercial had another version where all the characters get into a car. Then they all exit the car last in first out even though the car doesn't drive anywhere.

      Actually Sid and Marty Krofft had nothing to do with creating the McDonaldland, that was Needham Harper and Steers advertisement agency that was involved with the creation of McDonaldland, it was also why Sid and Marty Krofft sued McDonalds for copyright infringement because they noticed too many similarities to Pufnstuf

      Within a year Ronald's "adversaries" were friendly associates. Grimace become Ronald's lovable partner, Captain Crook was more like Tintin's Captain Haddock, even The Hamburglar less like a criminal than just guy with a clepto burger addiction. Also they removed Grimace's multi arms in later commercials.

    McDonald's was a place where kids were taken to eat by their (reluctant) parents.

      Izell Kinney Yep, Sid and Marty Krofft Productions, Inc. v. McDonald’s Corp. It set the precedent for using both an extrinsic and intrinsic test for determine substantial similarity (i.e., whether or not a work infringed upon another copyrighted work.) Originally, McDonald’s asked Sid and Marty Krofft if they could work with an advertising agency to make characters for an ad campaign. When they refused and the campaign got cancelled, McDonald’s went ahead and created their own characters that obviously were intended to be Krofft characters. You can’t just copy someone’s work because they didn’t let you have the rights.
