55 Nash Commercial (Mickey & Pluto) 

So Cool! You have to see this.......

55 Nash Commercial (Mickey & Pluto)

Here's a little seen commercial featuring Pluto and his owner, Mickey Mouse. The most interesting thing about the ad is the bizarre, modernist style Mickey is rendered. He looks positively cubist!

I was 6 years old then, but I was always interested in music. Played the piano since I was 5. Growing up in Munich, Germany - everything that came from America was simply the best to us. Especially music and entertainment.

Thanks for the memories...
