This is the closest I will ever get to time traveling back to my childhood

[@israelruelas5756]

No kidding. I want to go back

[@cheese_dipmorphia]

Savage Mr. Fox this is exactly what I did with my spare room!

[@stoptheviolence3358]

I can almost feel the after school vibe I used to have it feels so good to remember these times .

[@cntrlrb20]

Who knew how much joy forgetting to pause the VHS recording during the commercial break could bring people in the future? It’s a time capsule.

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

I just wish I'd done that when I taped a few things in the late 80s, it would have been nice to see the commercials. And I wished I hadn't recorded over the programs either.

[@scottsummers1614]

Reminds me of a very happy honest simple time filled with love, respect, and unity.

[@eduardorosas959]

Scott Summers how I wish I can go back even for a day! times where much simpler!

[@ItsTimeToo]

The 90s was truly the best time to be a kid

[@Manolothekid]

"Check newspaper for showtimes" damn.

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

Dial-up internet wasn't fast enough

[@Yehuz]

June ‘96? I had just turned 11 and was living in NY. I remember damn near all of these commercials..man, I miss those days. Simple and carefree. Waffle Crisp!!!

[@BleachFan9891]

When it comes to fun commercials for kids, the 90’s can’t be beat

[@gunner4126]

What a blast growing up in the 90s

[@damnitman187]

The 90's was the greatest time to grow up as a kid!

[@yusakug]

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is the best of the mid to late 90s era of Disney films when they were struggling to recapture the success of Lion King. It's definitely more mature than a lot of animated films at the time, save for the obnoxious comic relief gargoyles. This really did a great job of translating a very difficult and mature story into a family film. Though how this got a G-rating (with the "Hellfire" musical number), I have no idea.

[@joetalentoh]

This is one of the most intense rushes of nostalgia I've ever gotten.

[@MissMichSan]

1996 I turned 11 years old. Most of the kids on these commercials are around late 20s to mid 40s. Good times. I used to read the newspaper and loved looking for movie showtimes 🥰

[@matsunami]

I forgot that "part of this complete breakfast" means a giant bowl of cereal, a hulking glass of milk, a waffle and a banana.

[@GCBaXia]

I need a time machine. Take me back to 8)1983-1998) and keep me in the loop.

[@blackdragon6]

85 to 99 for me.

[@daftoptimist]

It’s truly crazy how the advertising for “Hunchback of Notre Dame” played up the comedy when the movie focuses much more heavily on the sober topics of equality, religion, and how we define humanity and morality. No wonder audiences were confused about how to take it. I’m glad it’s been sort of redeemed by time.

[@michaellee7308]

This set off a chain reaction of memories I didn’t even know I had deep in the recesses of my subconscious.

[@Hmfirestormz]

1996 I was 12, and I remember each and everyone of these! Good times

[@pittbulldawg93]

I grew up in the 90s and seeing all these old commercials brings back so many memories it makes me wish I could go back to those days.....

[@hayleybarnes1109]

Rip waffle crisp...the best cereal out there.

[@jessicataylor7005]

Yes....please take me a back down memory lane because I need a break from 2020. P.S I had the Olympic Gymnast Barbie. I got her for Christmas, '96. I was especially excited about this Barbie, she was the 1st Barbie I was able to make split both ways LOL

[@nickyguidroz2971]

It breaks my heart and makes me love it all at the same time god what I would give to go back

[@The90sGamingGuy]

I remember watching Animaniacs, Batman The Animated Series, Duck Tales, Looney Toons, Tiny Toons and more in the 90's. After school television was better back then when compared to whats on TV now.

[@bounderchris]

Those were the days huh? Getting out of school going home and kicking back watching cartoons!

[@fromryuk7785]

So many good kids/cartoon blocks, abc with recess and doug, fox kids with tmnt, power rangers and digimon, kids wb with so many numerous shows, nicktoons/others on nickelodeon, cartoon cartoons/toonami/adult swim/others on cartoon network. Really was a different time.

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

I was working in McDonalds, my first job, in June 1996, so yeah, I do remember giving out Babe Happy Meal toys. I remember the Arch Deluxe too while I was working there.

[@yusakug]

3:43 - "Whoa! It's a whole secret granny factory!"...I believe the term you're looking for, kid, is "illegal sweatshop".

[@gina85girl]

I had just finished the 5th grade in June of 1996! I miss the 90s

[@dnkykng3369]

I was 8 years old, I remember all those commercials so vividly, I miss my childhood

[@Darklg23]

Man what a throwback. Such good times. I loved waffle crisps

[@WildDieWoodard]

Whoa! I was a writer/producer with Kids’ WB during this time (some of the promos here were probably mine)! This takes me back to some great times!

[@sliedogg]

Thank you for the great childhood memories I have:)

[@jstnshea]

Disney's marketing of Hunchback is so contradicting for how dark the movie actually was!

[@charlesknauf5039]

if you're ever wondering, that huge, light-up WB sign is stored in gate 11 of the warner lot (last time i was there two years ago). it's a pretty cool flashback.

[@andrewoconnor2981]

Frosted tips, hair parted down the middle, overalls, animaniacs, and waffle crisp? Oh yeah, it's the 90's all right

[@SpoknWerd]

Andrew O'Connor Waffle Crips are STILL my favorite cereal, and they’re nowhere to be found. I recently tried French Toast Crunch... it tastes exactly the same, except now I can’t handle all the sugar. Adulting sucks

[@moviecollector4345]

"Check newspaper's for show times" good times

[@KennyGBeBopTV]

I could honestly say we are not going to ever get these times again. Just surprise me when we see this years later times not going to be the same again. Sad to say.

[@matthewlane518]

This made me remember how great Animaniacs was

[@TheAC420]

THE LUNCH LADY WEARS A HAIRNET! She serves mashed potatoes IN AN ICE CREAM SCOOP! Puts gravy on EVERYTHING!!! thank you for posting this! lol

[@jesuslimon8212]

I feel like a kid again!!!

[@xcrack6364]

Man I remember just about every single one of these commercials.

[@Lurker1979]

Just makes me miss my youth. I would have been 16. Dad had just retired from the Navy.

[@BleachFan9891]

The 90’s had the best commercials.

[@UltimaEXE]

Of course, just like it had Saturday and Sundays entertaining

[@Misfit_Kitten]

Most of us feel that way about the '80s. I'd take either over today, though!

[@optigrabbingit]

These aired on Saturday, 6/22/96 and (starting with #41) Sunday, 6/23/96

[@leonrue7045]

I hate to sound like a old person but everything was better in this time. Movies,commercials,cartoons,toys,music,clothes,shid...I'd even say the women.

[@Professor_Utonium_]

Nah, if you even look at things like happiness index ratings, they were higher back then. Divorce rates and wage gaps between economic classes were also smaller. Hopefully we start heading back that way soon.

[@scottsummers1614]

@@Professor_Utonium_ I wish we'd do that. We'd be way better off.

[@WWJD85]

The internet was picking up steam in 1996.

[@justinsantos8514]

I truly miss these days, i can't stop smiling while watching because it brings back so many joyful feelings and memories. I long for the days before i became a jaded and numb adult.. P.s Don't let Peter Griffin find that Pringles commercial. 😂

[@Zman9042]

Back when ads were actually good and interesting. It wasn't all generic, heartless, corporate cartoons with interruptions about generic, heartless, corporate ads. Everything actually had passion and was something you could look forward too. God I miss those times.

[@mashroob]

What I wouldn’t give for it to even be that time again!

[@1984ordep]

I swear I was watching the day that all these commercials were airing in a row I remember every single one

[@JGarrison51285]

A commerical for Waffle Crips!! One of my (many favorite cereals) wish it was still sold on shelves

It was for a while 😩 it’s gone again.

[@JLE8811]

I have read that the makers of Hunchback really hated the marketing campaign of that movie...

I remember Kid's WB giving up the creative bumpers and commercials for more generic ad breaks after the first or second year.

[@Dragonrider1227]

Oh yeah, remember when TV Channels had personality?

[@stacker55]

for anyone who drooled over the jello no bake cookies and cream. they still make it and its on amazon

[@mniscmoney]

The original Kids' WB lineup. Where I lived, this aired Sunday mornings instead of Saturdays during the first year in the 1995-1996 season; it wasn't until Year 2 that they moved to Saturdays. However, WGN also showed Kids' WB at the time and they continued to show it on Sundays, which I liked because if I missed an episode on Saturday I could simply watch the WGN Sunday repeat.

[@ninkendo2]

Waffle crisp! My favorite cereal.

[@iamSketchH]

0:57 Oooohhh, so THAT'S where I got those things. Huh. McDonald's toys were much higher quality than they are now.

[@summermazur3064]

That strawberry kiwi Kool-Aid ("Island Twists") was absolutely amazing! I used to drink it all the time! Was so sad when they stopped making it.

[@bull_honk]

I didn't know Kirk Cameron had a show on the WB. He's the last person I would have guessed to be on that network. I've seen my fair share of promos, but that WB one had to have been the LONGEST running one. Yeesh

[@erickiam25]

zestsoap20 it was canceled fast!

[@intsoccersuperstar1]

Not a month of my life has gone by without me thinking about that Pringles song at least once.

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

Ah, 1996. The year I became more aware of my surroundings and started to develop a love for the television industry. I pretty much remember every single commercial, here. Sans the local ones because I live in New York (WPIX).

[@andreahardee2331]

Oh my gosh, I had that gymnast Barbie! 😆 I wasn’t too into Barbies in general, but she was fun.

[@feeddannyo2061]

12:49 I really appreciate the informative and fun look into microchip manufacturing. Savage truth from Michigan J. Frog at the end: "We'll make it obsolete by building one that's new - Yeah!"

[@LiberianPrincess18]

Thank you for this 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@MyMelodyOfTheHeart]

Those "Babe" McDonald's Happy Meal Plush Toys are so cute. I had the Babe The Pig one. Does anyone recognize any of the actors doing those commercial bumpers?

[@desepticon4]

"Does anyone recognize any of the actors doing those commercial bumpers?" Sister, Sister girls, Wayans Bros, Kirk Cameron, Unhappily Ever After kids (one of them was on Entourage.

Jessica Biel in Pringles Commercial! 😍 If only we knew she would go on to be a well known actress. 🎞🎥🎬📽

[@JGarrison51285]

I first knew of her though 7th Heaven was a huge crush of mine during that time

[@whitespyder9]

This video is giving me serious nostalgia feels. I remember every single o e of these commercials well. Side note: Crazy to think of how big of a star Nikki Cox used to be. Then she kind of... vanished. Side note 2: what the hell happened to Waffle Crisp?

[@Fairestof]

Sadly, Waffle crisp was discontinued August 2018 from post cereal line up.

[@kjcorder]

Nikki cox had a string of TV shows.. then yeah vanished. Looks like mental health issues and drugs.. her last movie appearance apparently was in 2009

[@5th_cellar]

I remembered about at least 90% of these verbatim as soon as they started. And 12 year old me used to run, and I mean RUN, for the tv if I thought I heard the HoND trailer. I had a massive crush on Clopin before I ever got to the theater.

[@Sandlot1992]

Nothing beats the classic Kids WB!

[@TheComicRelief9001]

In a time where there is turmoil, in a year that is highlighted by disease, violence, and corruption, I can always be reminded of a single, shining hope, blaring out through the darkness. A moment in history when mankind went beyond its perceived limits, when we walked among GODS. There was a time, a time that some children now don't remember, but those of us that do speak of in tones of hushed reverence, when humanity reached the absolute highest of heights and achieved a level of perfection that mere mortals can only hope to even begin to understand. WE. MADE. ANIMANIACS. WE. MADE. THE GREATEST CARTOON. EVER. 2020 CANNOT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM US.

[@Silvergun_Raven]

That container holding the Wendy's chicken nuggets sure do bring back memories haha!

[@NostalgicCommercials]

Yeah and I miss the fries so much. I don't know why they changed them because they suck now. They were my favorite.

[@DanZero77]

I wasn't watching much more kid's TV in 1996 but I remember the actors from the WB network doing the commercial bumpers around that time. The kid at the end of the Pringles commercial I also remember previously won an Oscar Mayer kid's talent search so he was around on TV a bit more often. But wow how you make microchip manufacturing into a musical WB!

[@jesseb.2128]

It was like every company had a way for consumers - mostly kids on this channel - to interact with their products. There were chances to win a prize for just about everything! Haha! I can drink Island Twist and win a bike or even an ISLAND VACATION (4:30)? 8 year old me says HECK YES! 5:15 - The animated Burger King Kid mascot was so cool. Man, the 90s were great!

[@OldSoAndSo]

Yeah it says on the vacation ‘odds of winning are 1 in 277,264,896’ 😳

[@80sCommercialVault]

Those odds are based roughly on the total U.S. population at the time.

[@butteryfistful2426]

11:24 it's the elf Judy from The Santa Clause

[@stormwater6580]

I loved those no-bake Oreo bars. And the Bubble Tape commercials always looked hip with their washed-out snarky attitudes.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

Wow, 1996, the Golden Age of Kids WB (also it's right before "the end of time" - 80sCommercialVault doesn't post abything after 1996). It's actually hard for me to find any Kids WB recordings this early, good stuff!

[@jonnyturtleneck7153]

9:16 the honey comb commercial spelled Shaq’s last name wrong

[@pianonotes1010]

Did Burger King have exclusive rights to Disney IPs for their kids meals around this time? I find it interesting for some reason that Burger King had the Hunchback of Notre Dame rights while McDonald's got Babe: Pig in the City.

[@80sCommercialVault]

Burger King did produce toys for their new movies for a period of time, but I don't think they had any sort of exclusivity deal...I think Disney just bid out the contracts to whatever Fast Food chain paid the most. Edit: Orlando Sentinel article from 1995 about the rivalry between McDonald's and Burger King competing for Disney IP at the time: tinyurl.com/yyyen9jd BTW the McDonald's promo here was for the original "Babe" which was a new release on VHS around the time this was recorded. "Pig In The City" wasn't released until 1998.

[@Dirtnation2]

Nikki Cox :)

[@QueenJane-ws6lk]

Loved the hunchback of Notre Dame..still watch that movie alot ..lol thank you for another GREAT upload 80'scv 😎

[@puffinman1138]

Same here. Love the movie and especially the music. There was an official musical (but not Disney supported) put on by regional theatre houses a few years back with the songs from the film but also tied to the darker themes of the book. Check out the great 2016 Cast Album from that musical written by Menken and Schwartz.

[@Renamoose]

That butterfinger VR commercial is gold

[@erickiam25]

Lol Big worm at 11:01 the wayans bro’s at 8:15 back when they had prime time stars introduce kids WB

[@MXAghost]

Man, seeing Kids WB on WGN was a rare treat. This must have been they moved the block to WCIU 26. They kept the primetime block but I assume they moved the cartoon block because of Cubs/White Sox baseball.

I think he went through different shows one right after the other as they ended. First 'The Mommies', then 'Unhappily then finally 'Malcolm' with a few direct to video movies in between. He had to have been set for life after Malcolm if he invested wisely.
