Great Parody

Want to make an Industrial film to hawk your product to the nation? Here's the film for you! Telling of how people crossed the oceans and continents in search of a better life, this film tells the story. All that's needed is to insert your company's name, your product, and the president of your company at the appropriate spots, and it's ready to go. Yippee!

Like that other fine burlesque of standardized film-making, THE TOM AND JERRY CARTOON KIT, this no-name film burlesques the standard,view,of industrial films, with overblown dialogue, self-aware performers and a sturdy reminder that this is how the audience will perceive all the results as pretty much the same as every other film of its stripe.

Warning: Spoilers
. . . that THE YOUR NAME HERE STORY has a running time of 10 minutes, when it ACTUALLY clocks in at only 8:57.57. This goof adds one magnitude to the length of this film, making it more likely that prospective viewers will pass up their opportunity to thoroughly enjoy it. It's akin to misinforming the general public that the running time of GONE WITH THE WIND is 10 hours, rather than its actual duration of just 540 minutes. How many people could hold out that long without a bathroom break?
