Video of the Week returns once again, and since Barbie opens in theaters today, it was only appropriate to share a commercial highlighting another Mattel product, this being their line of hand puppets from the 1960s. In this ad, we see puppets for classic cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny and Dishonest John, but what really stood out to me is the woman portraying the child's mother. Don't realize who it is? It's Janet Waldo, one of Hanna-Barbera's mainstay voice actresses! I also really like the look of these puppets. They are accurate to the characters they are designed after but also manage to have a charm of their own, which I can't say for a lot of old-school cartoon merch. Watch the commercial below, and tell me what you think about 'em!
