Success! After a brief struggle with ancient video codecs, I have recovered a cleaner copy of at least the broadcast TV edit of the Moviefone spot from my personal backups.
With an added bonus bumper that not many have seen before. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Enjoy

Fantastic to finally see this in a clearer quality. Lots of fun details on the wolf that I didn't notice before.

Also awhile ago someone uploaded an HD version of another Moviefone ad which I think you worked on as well (it certainly has a similar animation style).

I just noticed the Grandma tied up underneath the bed. I was more focused on the wolf's ass that I completely missed that

Yup.
I animated this ad while at Red Rover studio in Toronto back in the early 2000's. Among many other ads before the legislature changed and ad agencies stopped commissioning them.

You did that? How awesome! Say... you didn't by any chance work on the Capitol Critters now, did you? Somehow this has some CC vibes to it.

Nope. Hanna-Barbera was already pretty much gone by the time I entered the industry.

Would you be willing to share the raw file you had before you converted it for posting? Was wondering if I could run it through some tools and clean it up

Another old station ID I traditionally animated back around 2000. This one for Cartoon Network. No Shirt No Shoes No Service.

I can't post the high quality original here because of BSky video limitations. So here's a Vimeo link.

Dam what a great time to be alive! The creativity of moviefone ads and the cartoon network bumpers had in that era are truly special โœจ๏ธ

I think I recognize the store clerk from the movie 'Gung Ho!'. I think he played the bad guy executive that gets demoted to sweeping floors at the end of the movie.

Considering you did work for both Cartoon Network and MovieFone, I gotta ask, did you animate the ad where where Johnny Bravo, Dexter, and the PowerPuff Girls promote the website?

You really outdid yourself animating the shopkeeper!

Joking aside though, this is really cool!

Well, when you have a wolf's ass that big, your attention is gonna be focused on that ass. Can you blame them for missing that, lol

I think it was taken off youtube because all the fresh clicks were generating youtube ad revenue for someone who didn't own the rights to that video. That youtube link isn't directly Moviefone.

Yeah I really miss doing 2D hand drawn adverts. They only went away because by 1999 legislation falsely linked childhood obesity to the animated tv commercials for sugary kids cereals. So the ad agencies stopped commissioning the adverts in 2000.

I moved into tv series after that.
