Title: Mc Donalds VHS Promo ?
Post by: Littlefoot3897 on December 12, 2016, 06:20:47 PM
Just saw a listing of ebay with a Mc Donalds promo of the VHS movie and was wondering if anybody knew anything about it. It says not for resale or rental.

In youtube there's some videos with deleted scenes taken from promotional videos. (Pizza Hut, If I am not wrong?)

How many of them?

I guess they struck a deal with Pizza Hut back than witch was cool. But come on 1.49 for the T-Tex one that was .50 more and for 1988-1989 that was pretty expensive back than.

Pizza Hut gave out puppets and had a commercial in 1988.  This vhs was sold as some Mc Donald's promo. Sticker says 4 movies were sold, Back to the Future, Land Before Time, American Tale, and Field of Dreams.

I actually have this, and it's nothing but a disappointment if you are looking for lost footage.  Basically speaking, it has none.  It was actually the movie itself before it was released on VHS in the US.  The only real special thing about it is that it's just the movie itself.  There are no previews you have to fast forward through just to get to the movie.  A sort of novelty back then if you ask me.

So yeah!  No lost footage on this thing.  Sorry! -_-

True just like in An American Tail song that fifel and the pigeon sung. Maybe someday we'll see the footage.
