Frito Kid in ACTION!

Feelin' snacky?  Talented artist/animator Jim Campbell has fashioned a crunchy little flash animation experience for those who've always wanted to see the Frito Kid do his thing at Disneyland.  Click this link right now, drop the coin into the slot and stand back!

(And after you've had your virtual-fill of those dee-licious chips of corn, check out more fun diversions on Angry Jim's website.)

I'll tell you what, nothing goes better with Mexican food than a paper cup of grape juice.

  5. Thanks for posting that. Funny thing is making it actually made me hungry for fritos. I seem to be susceptible to vintage advertising. I bought a kodak brownie flash camera off eBay once after watching commercials with for it on one of those Disneyland television shows on dvd.

  6. By the way, All, I should point out that if you keep on feeding coins into the coinbox, you will hear the Frito Kid's various spiels. Nice touch, Jim!

    And speaking of being a sucker for vintage advertising, I still have a fondness for RC Cola simply because it's the "mad mad mad mad cola!"

  8. Very cool! I wonder what happened to the figure of the Frito Kid when they took him out? Would they have saved something like that back then?

    He kind of reminds me of Lil' Alphie, the Alpha Beta Grocery Store mascot!

  12. That was AWESOME. I never experienced the Frito Kid magic firsthand, it was a tad before my time sadly. Did that music actually play with the spiel? I've always heard that music mixed in since the 50th anniversary recordings came out but have been told that the actual spiel was voice only.

  13. Yes, you are correct - There was originally no music track behind the voices of Frito Kid and Klondike.
