The Breakfast commercial is in color and animated to appeal to children. It is similar to any cartoon that children would enjoy watching. It was made in 1939 so the picture is not as bright or as clear as the commercials we see today. The animation is not as crisp and fast as the computer animated commercials we have now. The Esso gasoline commercial is filmed in black and white. The sound is somewhat fuzzy and a man narrates the commercial.The commercial ends with gasoline attendants breaking out into song, while the "Esso" sign becomes animated and turns into a smiling face that tells you "Happy motoring." I believe that combining live action with animation was quite groundbreaking for its time.

Many cereal commercials are cartoons like "Tony the Tiger" and "Toucan Sam." The 3 characters, "Snap, Crackle, and Pop" are still the faces of Kellog's Rice Krispies. I think it is great that the product and the marketing have stayed somewhat the same after over 60 years. The Esso gasoline commercial starts off as your basic commercial. It has a narrator and shows various people enjoying the "extra" things in life. The narrator tells the audience what each person is doing. I liked the end the best when the sign transformed and talked to viewers.
