Bluth Sullivan commercials

[OwenWelsh]

I know that there was a Special Projects division back in the day that produced commercials under Sullivan Bluth in the early 90s. Does anyone know any of the commercials they produced? They did some amusement park rides as well.

I think they did some animation for Universal studios ride " the Funtastic World of Hanna-Barberra" The animation was way better than the Hanna-Barbera TV animation of the day. It was fun ride , but since been replaced by Nickelodeon toon ride.

I think I found the ride... I don't think Don had anything to do with these, he was probably still in Ireland I think.

I think this is question for Don... I know somewhere in the past, i had heard Don studio ( ireland or his LA studio) was involved.......I could be wrong but, thats what i was told years ago.

I think they also did a spot for Hacks Cough Drops.

I would love to see the animation.

I remember a few ads for Brennan's Bread. The Hacks cough drops.

The Hannah Barbera Ride was done at West Olive Ink which was the LA subsidiary of Sullivan Bluth. 3D for the ride was done by another company whose name escapes me. Either Sidley Wright or Rhythm and Hues.

Strange I just found this Scissor Sisters - (Mary) video that
supposed to feature animation by Don (from 04).

I can't say its the best looking animation.
The designs look a little like Titan AE.

[Moneyguns]

When did he make a Rapunzel movie or was that just for the music video because I've never seen that on IMDB.

[wolfsymphony]

Moneyguns, I think you are referring to the animation that Don did for Scissor Sisters - Mary? I'm pretty sure it was specifically done for the music video.

re: ads made at Sullivan Bluth:

I remember spending a weekend helping out with inbetweens on a Mr. Clean™ commercial animated by Gary Goldman (this was during production on An American Tail in 1985).
