RSPCA (Australian ad) 1988

RSPCA commercial from 1988 transferred from beta tape. When it comes to commercial classics, you can't get much more classic than this RSPCA commercial "For all creatures great and small" featuring the music jingle "All Things Bright & Beautiful", I totally remember this ad when I was a kid in Tassie, it was often flogged to death! I remember this ad also being replayed again in 1999 and I guess it has seen more air plays since. Comedy Company did a funny piss take of this ad as well which footballers walk across the screen with injuries in place of the animals and the sling bandaged spectator with a tinny in place of the hesitant wombat, this spoof can be seen here • RSPCA ad parody .

It’s 2023 and these ads aren’t on anymore. 😢😢

[@louiserowland8771]

one of the most beauiful ads EVER done☺😅😅☺☺

[@CameraMan66]

Yeah I find it creepy how the ad just starts off like that

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Tame compared to the ones in the U.K which is strange because I thought Australia liked their bloody pifs.

[@TheAxelay]

Hasn't aged in 35 years one bit!! Classic.

[@laviniaferari]

I love this ad... My cat used to come running from the other end of the house to watch it when she was a kitten... She still watches it and loves it now :-)

[@erenkadayifci1403]

hows your cat going?

[@mothtobutterfly]

I have always loved this ad, right from the beginning. It is the only ad that will stop me from doing sudoku in the ad breaks.

[@creativitybyjenna]

This is definitely the best Australian advertisement ever made.

[@0ThatCostsMoney0]

My dog loves this ad :), as soon as she hears the music she looks at the tv and starts barking

[@petroskapantais2533]

Does your dog still love it

[@petroskapantais2533]

That would be pretty cool

[@Potionette81]

Aww what a sweet little plump wombat.

[@shanaweerakoon6609]

Love this ad

[@glennojordan]

Shana me too😀

[@moatguy]

No koalas'budgies'possums or guinea pigs though. Still who can resist the cuteness of that wombat? :)

[@eleanorhogan8643]

And the little run it does at the end, marvellous.

OMG! I love this ad and the wombat haha he's so cute

[@Emerald3357]

Loved this ad

[@fleassa2036]

i can still remember cracking up so much at this ad..love it!!

[@Sam-ep5qu]

Just found from ACCTV a church service on Sunday sing the same song of this ad is actually the church song of "All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,"

[@IanGorton]

This ad still gets shown today

[@3flick3]

My dog used to howl when this came on

[@failfox9100]

I have to watch this for school work

[@pckid888]

They still play this advert, but this original version is much better.

[@daniellepiergreen5642]

All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings; He made their glowing colours, He made their tiny wings, The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset and the morning, That brighten up the sky. The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one. He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well.

[@CameraMan66]

Yes the lyrics for this theme tune! Thank you!

[@velosistatheradishiy8602]

God made woods humans made dogs

[@BowserTheSecond]

They still play this ad on TV, but the music has been redone by an orchestra.

[@ryanfitzgerald5607]

is this the exact same ad that they use today?

[@quizmaster85]

Yes, but with a different arrangement of that song.

[@Sean-me4fv]

Yeah a terrible new arrangement of the song

[@missamanda7798]

new version> old version

[@saskiam877]

Yes!!!!

[@kymajo]

they have masks on today....

[@MaxBennie]

One of the RSPCA's lovelier adverts, contrasting with, say, the 18 certificate one with a dog being held at gunpoint, or the one that features a puppy being advertised as a toy and then thrown in the canal when the family can no longer cope.

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Certainly tamer than those ones yes.

[@patgamz3082]

Where Do I Find this Real music or Mp3? "All Things Bright & Beautiful"

[@CameraMan66]

All things bright and beautiful christian song!

[@moatguy4471]

0:09 The elephant almost stepped on the chick.

[@johnscott1389]

the ad was filmed in 1988 because there no such thing as a donkey in the ad

[@britsluver]

Yay womby

[@Mario_64160]

These are definitely the animals when the war against animal cruelty it's over

[@glennojordan]

Seems like all these creatures have been to the vet.

[@C21L01]

Glenn Jordan That’s the point of the ad. RSPCA are supposed to help animals in need.

[@rampatige]

Alex sings rocking chair

[@YortOK]

Nobody's picked up that its Russell Crowe who did the voice-over!

[@quizmaster85]

yortko1 Not in the original version though.

[@godlimations]

does anyone know or have a link to the other ad like this where the animals are singing? It's so cute :3

[@Sean-me4fv]

Good to hear the correct music, unlike the 2012 version which uses the wrong notes

[@rampatige]

Love Thomas Edward Henry Gordon James Percy Toby

[@Sam-ep5qu]

Only found out that this script that speaks in this ad actually from the Bible verses. Yes, God loves all creatures, great and small. The background music also from the church song too. Thanks for sharing, just love this ad.

[@scubafarmz7491]

Sounds more like our national anthem

[@TheAxelay]

Sadly the God/Church aspect would stop it from being shown now which is really sad...

[@mohamednasseraljalal4790]

i said save these beautiful animals immediately daily now and keep them happy and free and give them all sort beautiful food money is just a paper and give them freedom

[@DoctorX2]

Some food for thought - every animal in this ad is now probably dead. G'night everybody!

[@Vpmatt]

+Doctor X Not true, the wombat at the end, Walter, still lives today at Lone Pine Zoo in Brisbane, and he still makes the kids happy on his daily stroll through the zoo. Although you see him less and less these days. I just completely made all that up.

[@caytieeinfinity]

Hm, horses can live to be 35+ years, so not quite.

[@lakodamon]

The cockatoo's still around - they get to their 80s

[@CameraMan66]

This is the creepiest but the most beautiful ad of all time!

[@papikiny]

Docela dobrý

[@kymajo]

UPDATE THIS AD WITH COVID MASKS !!!!

[@ryanfitzgerald5607]

same footage?

[@stephaniecroissant2363]

Batter the the really dark adds XD

[@epsdunk4610]

Why are all the animals wearing bandages? I this ad because of this.

[@glennojordan]

Eps dunk maybe they’d been to an animal hospital with minor injurys

[@C21L01]

The animals are all wearing bandages because the RSPCA is supposed to help animals in need - ie: injured, neglected, victims of cruelty, etc.

[@christopherdawes5288]

does anyone else clock the irony of an animal rights organisation using trained animals in their advertising?

[@lenny_0323]

isn't there rspca approved chicken meat? lol that's irony.

[@lezzman]

The RSPCA is not an animal rights organisation. They are an organisation for assisting animals in distress through injury, neglect or cruelty.

[@CameraMan66]

@@lezzman it's basically animal hospital pretty much instead of human hospital.

[@iangray5407]

Given secular fascism that riddles TV nowadays, they probably wouldn't be allowed to play it because of the religious content: the song is "All things bright and beautiful", a Christian hymn. No doubt someone would be offended!
