Title: What's this from?
Post by: AMSDOS on 08:04, 22 June 13

On CPCRULEZ there is an absolutely cute Crocodile Commercial (from 1989) which apply what appears to apply the Muppetry process:

CPCRULEZ &#9733 GAMES &#9733 DIVERS &#9733 MICROCO-INFOS : L'ENVERS DU (http://cpcrulez.fr/games-div-microco-infos_MN.htm)

I just love the picture captured and the crocodile on the left is adorable. :D But haven't been able to find any YouTube clips of it and CPCRULEZ hasn't got any links to Videos, but I just felt that the production of it would have some video somewhere of it, I just don't know what's it's called. The only clue I could see was it was advertised during a show called "Samdynamite" and I had a look under that name, but couldn't find anything. :(

This Croc Mascot was used for all the Amstrad Adverts in France, but only in France as far as I know.

From what I understand it's a French thing, though it's so cleverly done, makes me wonder how those Crocs didn't get their own TV show.

The original link I posted to the image I think was for some Amstrad commercial which went for 3 minutes (unless I'm mistaking), so I'm wondering if it's one of those commercials like the one Apple originally posted during the American Superbowl or something when they were first flogging their early Macintosh?

Your typical Aussie would have got the job 'alf done before buggering off to the pub, and leaving the job unfinished. :P
