1947 version of operation lifesaver. - e-paw - 06-06-2010
Found this old traffic safety video with toy cars and model trains that's the forerunner of operation life saver. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jZPEGuQD5k">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jZPEGuQD5k</a><!-- m -->

Thanks, Kevin & Steve!! I can't believe I didn't notice that!!
I'm really slippin' in my old age! I used to be "Mr. Detail Guy" but now I don't notice things right in my face!

The LPB leaving the bar is classic!

I can't begin to imagine the work that went in to animating this film. I'm guessing the technique of moving the vehicles a fraction for each frame shot.
The background modeling is excellent too. The vehicles look like the old die cast "Tootsie toys"
Thanks for sharing.

The car that gets smashed at the grade crossing is my favorite.

It's quite a funny video for the now times, but so are the others from that time period, you should check out Refer Maddness, a video about marijuana and its effect that make you worship satan and do bad things.
I swear they always use the same soundtrack to them <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7685192415707087423#">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 707087423#</a><!-- m -->
