Would it be possible for you to create an MPEG, avi, RealVideo or Quicktime
movie out of it?  Then we could demonstrate to everyone else just what a
fine tradition Lego use to have for innovative advertising.

Anyone remember the Lego 12V train one where the red Intercity train was
built as the bridge was built in front of it?  Ahh, the golden days of
Lego...

On the UK's Channel 4 • (http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/greatest_ads/)
and through the Sunday Times newspaper (http://www.sunday-times.co.uk)
10,000 people were surveyed on what they thought was the best television
advertisement of all the last century.  The Lego advertisement of 1980 • was
number 74.  A Tommy Cooper impersonator voiced this ad which showed a • Lego
mouse being eaten by a Lego cat being eaten by Lego dog - in the end • they
all ended up inside a Lego kipper going via an
anti-submarine-eating-fish-ballistic missile launcher. Natural • progression
of course.  Naturally it ended with Tommy Cooper's catchphrase 'Just • like
that'.
