Those McDonalds characters were iconic . The Grimace and Hamburgler became a part of American pop culture

I even have a plush of grimace 😂

That first one was better than “Hamilton.”

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.

Genuis. All aimed at children. Got em hooked young.

RIP mcdonaldland 1963-2019

Grimace: I’m thoisty! 😊awww

Love and remember these early 1970s mcdonalds commercials.

The 'Mcdonaldsland' jingle is pretty catchy.

Those commercials were so dope!! To bad McDonalds retired these characters thanks to Sid and Marty Kroft for making these McDonald’s land Characters great!

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.

A "TRIP" through McDonaldland? 😎 What a TRIP! 😂😂😂

I never see Ronald anymore on television or at the restaurants. Its bad enough we don't see the others but Ronald McDonald? The place has lost part of it's identity.

Watching these commercials today and makes me sad. I mean I don't even think they have Ronald McDonald anymore. And definitely don't have any of the other characters. I feel really bad for kids today because they will never ever be able to grow up with all the cool things we did.

Sing Along everyone! and check out Jodie Foster at 5:49 Get yourself ready for a trip through Mcdonaldla-hand. Take along a friend and grab a hold of Ronald's ha-hand. Follow Ronald McDonald through the land of Apple Pie Trees And don't be surprised if you meet Big Mac and Big Cheese. There's thick shake volcanoes. You'll even find a french fry tha-hatch. Now just turn around and see if you won't find a hamburger patch. As your headin' for a McDonalds In McDonaldland A McDonalds, in McDonaldland....

I always liked the different characters McDonald's and Burger King had and how they did their own little episodes. You don't see that anymore. How come Wendy's never had anything like this?

i remember the 60s mcdonalds commercials

I miss when McDonald’s commercials had characters and lore.

I like the way they get cheap @ 10:10 by not showing the pirate puppet as he does his cheeseburger chant. If they were to accomplish that, they would have had to upgrade the puppet. 😄🏴‍☠️🍔

You deserve a break today.I worked at the fish bowl red&white at Central Park,Bessemer Superhighway.Mayor McCheese, Officer Big Mac.

What's interesting is that in its early years the focus was 100% on kids. McDonald's was a place where kids were taken to eat by their (reluctant) parents. It didn't occur to them till later that adults would be drawn to this junk food just as much as kids.

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.
