Ronald McDonald and the Adventure Machine (1987)
This 8-minute short film was produced on VHS tape by Sinnott and Associates in 1987 for McDonald's restaurants. The tapes were never sold to the general public and were only available for viewing at birthday parties hosted by the restaurant. In this film, Ronald McDonald and his friends Grimmace, Hamburglar, and Birdie meet the Professor, who has created The Adventure Machine. This machine transports the user to various locations to find adventure, but it requires Ronald McDonald and friends to test it. In the end, the group finds adventure, but it all proves to be too perilous for them. This is compounded by the Professor losing the key necessary to operate the machine and bring them home. When they do return home, they decide to take a calming walk and enjoy the beautiful day.
