Intermission Time

[@selenemarie819]

I run backyard movie nights from May - October and use these old vintage intermission videos in between movies. They are a huge hit and bring back many memories of growing up at the drive-ins with family and friends. Good stuff!!!

[@JokerDon1]

+Selene Marie I do the very same thing. I use a projector that I hook up to my laptop or I use a flash drive plus my trusty old dell speakers with a subwoofer. It makes a nice summer evening enjoyable.

[@planelord333]

Wow!!!

[@mca1218]

Wow. This takes me back to 1972 or so, when I was maybe 10 years old. I actually don't remember what the movies was, but this 10-minute cartoon was so exciting. I just remember being at the concession window constantly looking over my shoulder to check the time. The images of people sprinting in a circle from snack window back to their cars was the real entertainment. But then, I was only 10 years old so at this time!!

[@quickkfixx]

The best part is when the hot dog jumps into the bun. Cinematic genius.

[@BintangGaryo]

This is cinema

[@allisondungo7627]

This ad is so cute! Why can't every movie have an intermission and playing ads like this. Just watching this makes me hungry. 😛

[@kevbomevbo3492]

Some of the food in my refrigerator has been in there so long they could do these acts too!

[@kangaroofuno]

LOL

[@aubreefleming9663]

I miss drive in movies. I used to go every weekend when I lived in Kansas when I was younger. then we moved and now there's like none around us. they played this every time and I loved it.

[@christiantracey1479]

They always play this at my local drive-in theater, I always love this intermission video!

[@trentb3148]

I was just thinking about the old intermission cartoons the other day and wondered if KZbin would actually have the one I remember from my old Drive-In...yep, of course they do. Good ol' KZbin.

[@Longliveevolution170]

This is so classic and so peaceful! Love it!

[@supermariobro93]

They play this at the Twilight Drive-In theatre in Aldergrove, BC (Canada). People start honking at the end of the hot dog scene there. XD

[@JosephPratt1986]

Does anyone remember seeing some of these intermission ads in "Grease?"

[@leannehaddock6254]

+Joseph Pratt YEAH! I even have a shirt of the hot dog and the bun with "Standed at the drive-in" on it!

I own a 35mm print of this, and right now it's the absolute jewel of my 35mm collection. This might be THE greatest long form intermission clock ever produced. Thanks for posting it!

[@VinylWarrior24]

you have a 35mm projector?

[@Sojutu]

Hot dog landing in the bun always got horns honking at our drive-ins. Even set off fireworks!

[@ct1660]

Fun fact: this intermission reel was being shown on “Grease” when Danny was singing “Sandy” after she left his car at the drive-in.

[@homiedclown]

I loved this intermission when I was a kid. Haven't seen it years. Thanks!

[@hoosierdaddy8002]

The hot dog jumping into the bun always cracked me up.

[@creatornat]

I couldn't help but laugh at the motionless response of the 'cup o butter', next to the popcorn bag, after he's poured. He was never quite the same after that. lol But seriously, this was before my time, but I have extreme appreciate for the great animation, and whimsical view of people going to happily purchase their snacks. It makes me want popcorn right now-badly!

[@boji_03]

This reminds me of being a kid and going to the drive-in cinema in bush Australia. The hotdog one creeped me out.

[@bradyanderson6311]

You an Australian?

[@tlangelo]

The same people go through the refreshment stand every minute

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

"Our drive in plays this. They recently switched to digital projection, but promise to keep showing this video." They'll definitely have to get a digital copy of it somehow, unless they'll keep using an optical projector for that.

[@dustbowlhammer7119]

Drive ins were awesome because they usually had a double feature! These would play in between so you could get your snack on.

[@countrymonkOSB]

It was used in the film version of "Grease", if that helps. Just look at when Danny is singing "Sandy".

I just came here because this song too. My favorite is ice cream and hot dog parts lol

[@sethcarlow8363]

i am hope-ing that when they make a new movie that put a intermission in the middle so every one can go the bathroom and not miss the movie.

[@djcurtisone]

Awesome memories of childhood .. going to the drive-in we would always play on the swingset at the front of the parking lot. I met a lot of kids there. It was great.

[@theoriginalorbulonjeremybe9210]

I bet it was! Got to bring the drive-ins back

[@IyanTehGamer]

They still play this at Ford Wyoming Drive-In in Detroit :P

[@lexmarks567]

but only the last 4 minutes

[@coolpeeper1269]

Still do, I sometimes still go there.

[@menendezgilbert]

Was this made in the 50's or 60's. The music type sounds more 50's. Never the less, this was in a time of simpler happier life. Oh how I wish I could go back to those days.

This was featured in The Drive In Scene in Grease.

When Danny (Travolta) Sings Sandy

[@gjc82071]

I truly & dearly miss all this stuff. I was born in '71 & kinda witnessed the decline of the drive-in. The younger generation doesn't understand how drive-ins weren't just a movie, but an experience & a family event. What I ask, could be better than being out under the stars, laying in the back of a pick-up truck, with your siblings, snuggled up in blankets, munching pop corn, waiting for it to get dark/show to star? Some drive-ins even had swing-sets & such for kids, so we'd arrive early.

[@countrymonkOSB]

I grew up seeing this ad almost every weekend of my summer, at the old drive-in theaters in our neighbourhood

[@morganchasteen6759]

My local drive in still shows this between the films. I love it!

[@tamacat2001]

Same here.

[@uksteele]

I remember this from the late 60's into the 70's. wow, brings back memories... The green slime....billy Jack...

oh man they still play this at the Malta Drive-in, a couple miles from Saratoga Springs NY here.

[@yes350yes]

Anyone remember the frosted malts in the cup and the wooden spoon . I could not go the drive-in and not get one. It always made my night.

[@Slobbertooth]

They did the music in the McHenry Outdoor Theater in McHenry, IL (McHenry County) but they showed these cool adds near the theater like an Ace Hardware Co. there which is awesome!

[@poego6045]

They did both I think. I remember this and the local ads (which they don't play anymore I think cuz they're soo oooolld.

They show these at Route 66 Drive In in Springfield as well.

[@Husky1980]

The local drive-in movie theater we had here in Gratz that we were blessed to have run until 2023 would play this exact animation during their intermission. Fun times those were

[@manuelorozco7760]

I’ve seen Grease seven times and vividly remember these ads! Sadly I wasn’t born until 1993. If movie theaters had intermissions, I wouldn’t mind only when necessary like a suitable pause in the movie so the audience can process what they’ve seen so far.

Thank God for KZbin. There aren't any drive-in theaters in town anymore, and I was strangely beginning to miss these kitschy ads.

[@electrogeek77]

This is EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!! Seriously, I could kiss you for adding this!

[@BondoFox]

I was trying to find this at LEAST 5 years ago, maybe more, to show my kids! The best I found was a couple of lame animated .GIF's, one of the hot dot doing flips and the other of the juggling popcorn. THANK YOU for making this available! And thanks to Audiobuff2 for posting the link for the full-sized 51MB download!

[@InvaderZim897]

There's a drive-in theater near me that I tend to go to that still show this during the intermission.

[@WayOutWardell]

Fabulous. This was usually better than the movies themselves! I especially like the guy in the blue suit who pushes past the women and children on his way to the theater!

[@markcooper643]

I have a drive in on my train layout. It reminds me of watching Ghostbusters and TMNT

[@menendezgilbert]

"I remembered from the early '70s a few cartoons-perhaps from DFE Films ...I don't recall the names of those cartoons which preceeded the fireworks, snack bar bumpers and the feature film." Aside from The Pink Panther perhaps being one of DFE's well-known characters, other cartoons produced by them that were released theatrically by United Artists in the 60's and 70's include The Inspector, Roland & Ratfink, The Ant and the Aardvark, The Blue Racer, Hoot Kloot and The Dogfather.
