Like the title suggests, this is the first of six direct-to-sale videos developed by Klasky-Csupo (Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys) for McDonalds. It features Ronald McDonald in both Live-action and animated segments and is very... well... "Klasky-Csupo" (if you've ever seen Rugrats, you know what I mean.)
The titles in the series include: Scared Silly, Grimace Island, Visitors from Outer Space, Birthday World, Have Time, Will Travel and The Legend of Mcdonald-Land Loch.
As an adult, I can barely sit through these programs. The music is gawd-awful and the story lines too sickeningly sweet and have positive messages to a fault. However, my kids adore them. Even though they were produced as early as 1998, they continue to request them even now. So, they definitely have staying power within their target audience which is more than I can say about the vast majority of the competition.
Finding these movies today might prove difficult as they were primarily released only at McDonald's Restaurants on a limited basis. However, scan your garage sales, pawn shops, and the video store discount shelves and you might get lucky!
