About

1953 - CC-4 "The Grasshopper And The Ants" (Walter Lantz) Coca-Cola advertising cartoon, 1m 58s *

- the only other version of this cartoon available at the moment has a fan-made, alternate soundtrack without ANY Coca-Cola references. AND, the green bars at the beginning and ending are not supposed to be there.

I was able to replace the audio from a Dutch copy of this film. The entire soundtrack is now totally restored EXCEPT the spoken English part - that is still from "The Fox And The Grapes." When I get a true English version of this advertising cartoon, I will make it available here.

It's a bit of a cheat, but much better than what was available.

- Additionally, I added in 1.5 seconds of music. because it appeared that the soundtrack had been slightly cut at the beginning.

YouTube has marked this as a "made for kids" video. It was not. In 1953, advertising cartoons shown in the cinema were made for adults.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
