Also, I had no idea that there was an animated film called "Shamu The Beginning" from a company called Lion's Den until just now.<br /><br />I was at SeaWorld Orlando last month and can confirm that the Shamu and his Crew characters as they looked in the 1980s are still being sold on merchandise.Dan Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818108201214059180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243478024385372739.post-63818261884141169452023-11-06T22:59:23.194-08:002023-11-06T22:59:23.194-08:00What I wonder is how many more shamu and his crew ...What I wonder is how many more shamu and his crew commercials are there, there's the race one, the band shell one, and the one where they play cards, but there is probably more commercials that are lost mediaThebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474065080622966510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243478024385372739.post-39767966492351639752021-07-13T19:57:58.949-07:002021-07-13T19:57:58.949-07:00I do remember the commercials from the 1990s, I th...I do remember the commercials from the 1990s, I think they were animated by Film Roman.

The ones I remember seeing for sure in person were Yogi and Hong Kong Fooey, but I think they also had Fred Flinstone and Huckleberry Hound....I might have seen a photo of a Jabber Jaws character as well. Gee, too bad Hanna Barbera didn't have their very own theme park.
