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!!!

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!!

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

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

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

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.

This is so classic and so peaceful! Love 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!

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

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

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

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

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

"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.

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!

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.

My local drive in sells Carne Asada burritos & all the classic stuff, love it!

This is always so nostalgic for me. I remember being little and my Dad telling me about these and him seeing them when he was little and I was so amused by it all and to this day it holds a special place in my heart. ❤ My favorite was always the hotdog one. 😊

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

Our drive in plays this. They recently switched to digital projection, but promise to keep showing this video.

4:00 *C A R H O N K I N G I N T E N S I F I E S*

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

The same people go through the refreshment stand every minute

I can hear “Oh Sandy” from Grease as I watch this.... 🤭🤣🤣♥️

This is like a warm blanket. This is my comfort zone.

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

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.

This was featured in The Drive In Scene in Grease.

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.

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

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

Cast: Refreshent Captain as Ringmaster Popcorn as Juggler Chocolate and Candy as Tightrope Walkers/Holders Bun and Hot Dog as Dog Trick Master Sodas as Vaudeville Straw Dancers Popsicle and Ice Cream Cups as Ice Cream Marching Band; Follow the Leader I love this drive thru theater intermission. I saw this all the time at my drive in theater.

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

Omg! Yes! The full version! There are so many clipped versions on KZfaq...thank you for posting the full length video

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

these still play at our drive in

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

I remembered the scene where John Travolta sings "Sandy" at the drive-in - in the movie "Grease"

My mom remembers these from when she was a kid. Last time I went to a drive-in was in 2007, basically the only one left that's an hour away from me and I was 18. And yes I watch Grease, I love how they play this in the background when Danny is singing. XD. I would go to a drive-in again if they play good movies. Last time were movies I had zero interest in.

Popcorn needs more butter.

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

My local drive-in used to play this until just a few years ago. I miss it! They replaced it with car commercials.

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

Love seeing these intermission animations. I see these every time I go to the Skyview Drive-In in Lancaster Ohio.

Our drive in plays these adds from the "Grease drive in". I bent the ear of the owner enough that he finally had a car show at the drive in. The movie for the first show... Grease. It was awesome seeing a bunch of old classic cars at the drive in. I only wish I could have done more to keep the shows going

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!

I wish they had these things collected on a DVD like all those school films...wait..do they?

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.

I so love this intermission.😀😍❤✌🤟👍🤝

We need more of these things now. It's a shame our generation can't see these kind of things as much. :(

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

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

How i wish i could go back in time & take in a movie at the Drive-In theater. Good times.

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!

Freaking love the bun and hot dog

I never went to a drive-in theater but this is still cool

Some good sample material here

STRANDED AT THE DRIVE IN....BRANDED A FOOL....WHAT WILL ALL MY FRIENDS SAY....MON-DAAAY AT SCHOOL????

I wish this would still play at movies.

Becky's Drive-In in Berlinsville, Pennsylvania used to play this between features. They recently replaced it, though, mostly with advertisements for local businesses.

Anyone remember 🎵Let's all go to the lobby To the lobby, to the lobby Let's all go to the lobby and get ourselves a treat 🎵?

Man, that hotdog is talented!

This is the intermission at my drive in theatre I go to on summer nights.

Assuming it was within a few years of each other. I sorta assume this looks very late 50's anyway.

Hearing this at 1AM-4AM hits different

I travel around that area on the way to Kansas. A drive in on Route 66, cant beat that!!

"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.

Actually, the Route 66 drive-in in Carthage MO (near Joplin)reopened in 1999, and they also play this during intermission.

and 3:09 Sounds like the 1959 World Series music.

I'm inspired - I'm going to create a juggling act, which ends with pouring hot, melted butter all over myself!

I feel like I am on an imaginative Walt Disney Pictures/20th Century Fox Searchlight Art-House Movie.

This WAS the one used in "Grease." I specifically remember when the hot dog jumps into the bun when Danny's done singing "Oh Sandy."

I can see myself at my local Drive-in on the swing singing "Sandy!"

The hot dog and bun... Freud would've had a hey day

they showed this at every intermission at the drive-in in westville, nova scotia up until a few years ago. they replaced it with one featuring puppies and babies.

Given how long this sequence is, they probably didn't think you'd notice the next minute coming up in 30 seconds after opening with that announcement.

POV: your stranded at the drive-in, branded a fool, what will they say Monday at school?

Best clock ever!

Stranded at the drive in branded a fool what will they say monday at school Sandy cant you see im in misery we made a start now were apart theres nothing left for me Love has flown all alone i sit and wonder whyyyyy you left me oh sandy Oh sandy maybe someday when high school is done somehow someway our two worlds will be one In heaven forvever and ever we will be oh please say youll stay oh sandy Sandy my darling you hurt me real bad you know its true but baby you gotta believe me when i say im helpless without you Love has flown all alone i sit i wonder whyyyyy you left me oh sandy Sandyy Sandyyy whyyyy oh sandy Grease brought me here

I remember this from Movie Grease when Danny singing oh Sandy after they broke up

Top gun maverick at the misquamicut beach drive in theater

This plays at the drive-in in Fort Collins Colorado It is very nostalgic.

I like the marching ice cream when they spaz out.

The amazing thing is that the company that first produced this is still around in Chicago.

"get to the chopper, hurr-ry hurr-ry hurr-ry!"

The ice-cream tubs doing foot-drill was used behind Travolta during the 2nd verse onwards in "Sandy" from Grease...

These days intermissions last a year and you have to pay admission all over again just to finish the film you started!

They started using this intermission clip at Springmill Drive-In in Mansfield, Ohio. This clip is awesome.

Twin drive in in Edmonton in the 80s as a kid...where I saw Ghostbusters and Back to the Future

I saw this at an actual drive-in theater in 2003.

The drive-in in the 80's I use to go to as a kid use to play this one (closed now) weird seeing it again.

This film was played at the drive in I went to last night in between movies.
