Bobby proves to his friend that with the right Breakfast Pals (i.e. Snap, Crackle, Pop) your cereal will be ever so more enjoyable. Along the way there is plenty of action that involves improvised weapons such as a pepper shaker, pancakes & syrup! The pacing & plot line of this theatrical cereal commercial are good, as are the voice characterizations. The vibrant colors are a plus as well. What must be pointed out, however, is that the 3 familiar gnome Rice Krispies mascots don't quite look themselves. Perhaps in order to get the head animator he had to have free reign. For the only time they have small noses and Crackle doesn't have a pointed hat. And what about those cereal bowls? They look more like molds for jello. Putting this cereal movie ad in context, Corn Flakes and Grape Nuts are older, Post Toasties at one time had Mickey Mouse on their box in 1934, old radio drama's featured frequent dramatic commercials of Quaker Puffed Rice and Popeye ate Wheatena, in addition to print ads with Babe Ruth for Wheaties. Maxwell House had the line,"good to the last drop", in this film it's, "crisp to the last spoonful". And what about Krispies spelled with a K. Is that sort of like how for many years now Cops has been spelled with a K as in moviedom's Keystone Kops?
