Saturday Morning Cartoon: Bert and Harry Piel at the Hockey Game


Piels Brothers animated beer commercial (1950s), featuring the voices of Bob & Ray (Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding) and animated at UPA (United Productions of America) by Gene Deitch.

Read more about Bert and Harry Piels and the Piels Brothers ad campaign (and see more Piels Brothers commercials!) here, and read an excerpt from Gene Deitch's autobiography here about the complaint letter that almost killed the characters!
