1955 Nash commercial features modernistic Mickey and Pluto

Excellent highly-stylized Mickey and Pluto (Tom Oreb designed?) in this 1955 commercial for the Nash Ambassador.

I noticed in the recent Mickey re-imaginings lately no love for Minnie. Here's a pic I took recently of some of the more unusual official Disney offerings to be had here in Japan: a Punk Minnie figure and a Gothloli Minnie. They've also released a figure that looks suspiciously like a Paris Hilton version... they love her here. Sad but true.

Tom Oreb was the designer of this spot, and Victor Haboush did background layout and design. On Cartoon Brew last week I posted a hi-res copy of Oreb's original Mickey model sheet that was used to guide the animators on this commercial.
