I watch old McDonald's commercials on the net













I first watched the old McDonald's commercials from the 1980's on RetroJunk & YouTube when I was 11 to 12 years old. Those commercials were aired on American television before September 10, 1989 Sunday. I didn't know that Grimace, Hamburglar & Birdie the Early Bird can talk in every commercial. Speaking of Birdie, she's voiced by Russi Taylor which I know her as the current voice of Minnie Mouse.

The first computer animated movie not made by Pixar that I remembered



Before Shrek & Madagascar, there was Antz. Antz was released in Philippine theaters in 1998 before August 22, Sunday at 8 am the following year. I watched that movie on HBO when I was 4 years old & the ant characters have four legs instead of two legs for the ant characters in A Bug's Life. Both that movie & The Ant Bully have ant characters have four legs. The movie was made by Pacific Data Images (now known as PDI/DreamWorks) for DreamWorks which is responsible for making animated TV commercials & Visual effects for live-action movies. As of August 21, 1999 Saturday at 5 pm Pacific, Pacific Data Images were busy production for their second computer animated film for DreamWorks "Shrek", I hope Asian Americans really work at PDI for the production of Shrek back in 1999.

Big Thinkers are Big Sinkers!



Humongous Entertainment only released two games of the Big Thinkers series as of June 12, 1998 Friday in the US which the third one “Big Thinkers 2nd Grade” was completed but never released. My sister played that game when she & I were kids in my old house in Sulucan, Bocaue, Bulacan when there's no internet access.
