This runs eight minutes but they'll be eight minutes of your life well spent. In the mid-sixties, Jim Henson and his Muppet crew did a series of highly entertaining commercials for LaChoy Canned Chow Mein. How entertaining were they? A lot of people mistook them for Stan Freberg commercials. That's how entertaining. But they weren't by Stan (whose birthday, by the way, is tomorrow). Henson did them and even performed the role of his new character, the LaChoy Dragon.
And what we have here is a sales film for that ad campaign — something they showed retailers and wholesalers, I guess, to tell them about the upcoming commercials. At the end, there are some of those funny spots but the stuff that leads up to it is pretty good, too…
