LOGORAMA (Part I)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksmGnlxXL5s

This short, animated movie begins by showing various companies/organizational logos almost like one giant billboard ad. There is a wide range of companies on display including retail (Best Buy and K-Mart), lodging (Comfort Inn) and even the automobile industry (GMC Truck). Characters include such recognizable figures as the Michelin Man, Mr. Clean and Ronald McDonald. In this case Mr. Clean serves as a gay tour guide while Ronald McDonald plays the role of the criminal. The Jolly Green Giant also makes an appearance and immediately is one of the more imposing characters for obvious reasons. The Planters Peanut guy and the familiar Pringles mustache man are included as is the Pillsbury Doughboy. Ronald McDonald is certainly portrayed much differently in this movie compared to his real life image. Hes involved in a high speed police chase and eventually takes a hostage and opens fire on the police, just a slight stretch of character I'd say. Overall the animated movie is rather entertaining because of the characters involved and due to the fact that their personalities and behaviors have been drastically altered.
