Animation cel of Ronald McDonald from the video.

Status: Found

Date found: 16 Jan 2019

Found by: owensfilmsinc

Around 1987, McDonald’s released an eight minute VHS called Ronald’s Adventure Machine, which was only available for viewing at birthday parties at the titular restaurant. The video was animated by Sinnott and Associates in Chicago.

Plot

Not much is known about it except that Ronald McDonald and his friends go inside the "Adventure Machine" except The Professor.

Availability

Since the tape was only made available for viewing at birthday parties at the restaurant, no footage of it had resurfaced to the public and no copies of the tape were known to exist. However, several animation cels from the video had been made available online from the "FilmingInMcDonaldland"'s Facebook page.

On January 16, 2019, LMW user $5footlong discovered that the tape was uploaded by YouTube user owensfilmsinc back in 2011. The total length is around eight minutes. It is unknown how Owen got a copy of the tape. It can now be watched publicly. Additionally, the owenfilmsinc upload has been reuploaded to the Internet Archive.
