The princess has a headache! Three valiant knights set out to battle harpies and giant fish and dragons to fetch home the prize: caffeinated aspirin!
This is the Spanish language version of an advertising film for Bayer's caffeinated aspirin. It's an excellent animated commercial, done in silhouette, in a style that suggests Lotte Reiniger's wonderful stop motion work; within a few years, Frau Reiniger would be in England, doing such works herself. Advertising has long made use of animation, as anyone who watches children's shows can tell you.
This, however, ran in movie theaters. So the next time you complain about them running commercials before the movie you are paying to see, remember that it's nothing new.
