- Commercials for the American Motors 1955 Nash automobiles designed by the late, great Tom Oreb in the Walt Disney TV commercial unit. Quoting from the wonderful book 'Cartoon Modern' by Amid Amidi, "There was a little kid that used to write to Walt telling him to stay away from modern art because it's Communistic. So when the commercial came on, he got a letter from this kid, a little malcontent sitting somewhere, and he wrote, "I'm disappointed Walt. I never thought you'd succumb. What happened to you?" and Walt went crazy. He stormed down there and outlawed using any of the Disney characters in the commercials...spelling the end of the unit." These commercials, along with many other mid-century animation gems can be found on this dvd: www.amazon.com/...
You're welcome. I love the stylized look that Tom Oreb did for these commercials.
Literally every animated commercial from this decade had this exact same angular style.
I wonder how that kid came to the conclusion that this art style was "communistic."
Sounds a lot like parental brainwashing. I mean, how exactly is using intellectual property to promote a product an act of communism? Mickey, an American icon, helping to sell an American car. If anything, it’s an example of Mickey being a sell out, by giving into capitalism. Clearly this was an opinion based on ignorance. Why couldn’t he be more like today’s fans and claim that the new design is destroying his childhood?
Maybe it reminded them of contemporary (at the time) Soviet animation?
I doubt it was a kid. Probably a guy posing as a kid to get Disney's attention.
Becauae these commercials are aping UPA's style and a bunch of UPA people were communists
Do you suppose Paul Rudish looked to these commercials for inspiration when he did the newer Mickey Mouse cartoons? In addition to Mickey, Minnie and Pluto advertising Nash, there were also ads for the Hudson featuring Donald Duck and his nephews.
Very possible. The Paul Rudish shorts have also made little references to this Mickey design so the creators are definitely aware of them!
Thanks for posting these. Very interesting.
(reads description) WOW I had no idea! So the reason Disney didn't want anything styled like this, or the new Micky shorts we have today, was all related to communism?
It was basically a child writing to Disney because he was "triggered" by the thought!
The style was used by Ward Kimball and others
That little fuck... although I doubt he was actually a kid
New Mickey shorts, from the 1950’s? I’ll bet
@@FerminCoronel he didn’t mr. rugged mouth
This would've aired in prime-time.
It is a very interesting take. I like it.
the kid in 1953: "modern is communist"
businesses today: "ok, i guess we'll just try to be communist then"
According to Disney animator Eric Goldberg, one fan wrote a letter to Walt Disney saying, “Dear Walt, what have you done to Mickey?”. And upon reading this, Walt told the animators of these commercials to stop.
By the way, who else came from the 2022 Mickey Mouse documentary?
Others came from Steamboat Silly
@@TwilightLink77 I just saw it among my RUclips recommendations.
Tattle tail snitch, Mickey can't have nothing back than, not even ads.
This art style looks more like UPA than Disney.
It's funny you should mention that. Disney did some UPA inspired cartoons in the 1950s. Notably the shorts with Professor owl
@@ryanhoward3383Still disappointed that they didn’t include Professor Owl in Once Upon a Studio
@@ryanhoward3383 UPA was co-founded by former Disney animator David Hilberman.
@@yosefdemby8792and John Hubley, who later left the studio in the early 1950s after refusing to give names of striking Disney animators to the House on Un-American Activities Committee.
Mickey Mouse if Hannah Barbera owned him.
Or UPA
@@ryanhoward3383 Paramount
Ed Benedict, the designer of many early Hanna Barbera characters, worked at The Walt Disney Company in the 1940’s.
Love this art style so much...
Is this the only time Disney authorized an off-model Mickey?
No Walt Disney was unaware until he found out and stopped them
If Hannah Barbara invented Mickey Mouse
Ed Benedict, the designer of many early Hanna Barbera characters, worked at The Walt Disney Company in the 1940’s.
The "Communist Art Style Letter" is a bit of urban legend. There were other reasons
It's because early tv animation had a very low budget and was very limited
These ads primarily appeared on "DISNEYLAND", as American Motors was one of the series' original sponsors.
Michael mouse 💀
🗿
Those are absolutely Morty and Ferdie, wearing some of the standard outfits they wore in the comic strip at the time.
Anyone came here from Steamboat Silly?
I'm still surprised Disney allowed them to use this version for that short!
@@TVC_StudiosMe too!
Somehow It's a complete mystery of why they stop making rambler cars in America decades ago. But you can still find a treasure trove of rambler cars nationwide, but at a very high price. I recommend that you type in the word google and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Also I like the UPA retro style version of the walt Disney commercial for the rambler car.

WAIT MICKY HAS CHILDREN
Yup
No those are his nephews
@@sonicfanboy3375Actually, according to a channel, Mickey had children twice.
1932: Mickey’s Nightmare
1955: Nash Commercial
@@CBFFan1Mickey's Nightmare was well...a nightmare. It wasn't real, just dream Mickey had because he's apparently horrified at the idea of children. He's never had kids before, so the young mice here have to Morty and Ferdie, his nephews.
His Nephews, Morty and Ferdie
"More for americans! ". These days that statement would be taken as racist!
I think the word you're looking for is xenophobic
@@pandorasangel2747 yup
Mickey and minnie has children in the comercial why doesn’t nobody talk about it?
I think those are his nephews Morty and Ferdy.
This is a car commercial from Disney from the early 50’s
Tom Oreb, genius.
Ok! When did Mickey and Minnie have kids?
They are not his kids. They are his nephews Ferdie and morty
@@Nasir3623 Duh
1:38
Wait..
PLUTO NASH?!
The new DuckTales...
Alec Caprari this looks better.... :P
From 2017
The '55 and '56 Ramblers were sold at both Nash and Hudson dealerships with appropriate badging.
Who did the animation for this?
It was George Nicholas, Bob Carlson and Jerry Hatchcock at the Walt Disney commercial unit.
Better than Tesla (just kidding😂)
did i just watch voluntarily commercial?
Now all I can think about is getting a 1955 Rambler. I've just got to find a Nash showroom.
Sorry bro, the Nash Motor Corporation discountinued way long ago, so it's practically impossible to find Nash cars today unless online
This is how on Documentary the tales of a mouse some person said dear Walt what have you done to mickey?
That commercial thought Mick and Minnie got Married! Ohhh my days
They are married. Uncle Walt said so in 1933.
Wonder what Nash looks like now
this wasnt supposed to be about mickey mouse
HAHAHA in the part where they say it's easy to park they show a LADY parking it! OMG the 50's had NO CHILL
Whoa! Marty and Ferdie!
I love the style and the car. But mickey and minnie have kids in the back seat which means…
That’s Mickey’s nephews Morty and Ferdie
I’m dissapointed Walt. I’d never thought you’d succumb. What happened to you? Lucasfilm, Marvel, now fucking FOX?
Perhaps those were better cars than I gave em credit for. I just thought they were funny looking and of poor quality. My boo boo.
0:36 minnie siniestra incredible remaster
Who voiced Mickey in this one
Disney sound effects wizard James MacDonald, who was the regular voice for Mickey at this time.
@@diannekelley1508 He also voiced the mice in Cinderella. And I think he voiced Chip & Dale.
Man, I knew Walt had a temper but to flip because some kid called this style 'communistic,' dang!
Oreb and the Hurrells (who produced this commercial and founded the unit) had free reign to do whatever they want with their classic characters. You can guess what happens next.
Why did Walt agree to this?
mini Mouse looks pretty
Don´t be grumpy Pluto! You are the only one not "off model"!
Salt whiskey hated these commercials
0:10 I sometimes do that. Clack my heals.
Who saw this commercial after seeing the latest Mickey Mouse short?
Same here
Starring mickey mouse. Who was he voice by?
That's the same design that was also used at the end of the wonderful world of Mickey Mouse cartoon, Steamboat Silly.
@andrewscungio3200 Jimmy MacDonald, the Disney studio's sound effects expert. He took over as the voice of Mickey in 1947. (Though Walt Disney did Mickey's voice in the Mickey Mouse Club.) Jimmy MacDonald also voiced the mice in Cinderella, and I think he voiced Chip & Dale.
Hold on Mickey’s cookin rn🤔
I'd take the Rambler over the Statesman or Ambassador.
Hanna-barbera looking cartoon
What the heck?
What, what is it?
Yeah what's going on with you?
0:00 Is that sparkles or is that some sort of static?
It's Film Deterioration
Wow
I always knew communism and capitalism were the same thing, thanks kid who is way to young to understand simple politics let alone vote
Who voiced Mickey here? Anyone know?
Jim MacDonald
Would this suggest that Disney endorsed the rambler?
It was made by American Motors, one of the sponsors of the "Disneyland" show.
Wow no dislikes
Old 🗝️😂
A car commercial on a children's show ?
wow!
Wow! is right
With how much Disney is sucking up to the left wing nowadays, it's safe to say that the "kid" was right.
I mean, Paul Rudish's Mickey Mouse could also be seen as "left-wing pandering".
If you se Mickey today. The look never changed.
LarsEMou99 *see
Nothing wrong with hating communism, but the art is great and unless the artists were spouting hammer/sickle with pin attached nonsense.
*"grand"*
Very grand
