Real Vintage Cartoon Video at Prytania Theater, New Orleans
Here is the loveliest welcome pre-roll I have ever seen: the Let’s All Go To The Lobby pearl - yes, from New Orleans. I was several times tempted to sneak my camcorder and grab this wonderful and funny vintage cartoon from Prytania Theater in the Crescent City. Luckily, it was Prytania Theater itself that shares the video with us.
Let’s All Go To The Lobby lyrics - a la Prytania
Let’s All Go To The Lobby
Let’s All Go To The Lobby
Let’s All Go To The Lobby
To get ourselves a treat
Delicious Things to Eat
The popcorn can’t be beat
The sparkling drinks are just dandy
The chocolate bars and the candy
so Let’s All Go To The Lobby
To get ourselves a treat
Let’s All Go To The Lobby
To get ourselves a treat!
Once you are in New Orleans, get yourselves a treat and don’t leave out a night at Prytania. Why not? As the official Prytania movie site writes:
The Prytania Theatre is the only Single-Screen Movie Theatre in Louisiana. It is also the oldest operating theatre in New Orleans and was opened in 1915. We have recently renovated the theatre and have new seating, a renovated Lobby and a new huge screen and state of the art sound and projection. .. The owner, Mr. Rene Brunet, is recognized as an expert as a New Orleans Theatre Historian and can tell you almost anything about the 60+ neighborhood theatres in the New Orleans area
The advertising is not only refreshing with its backwardness, but, from an online video marketing aspect, it is a nice example of how old and older things get an even longer tail through online video sharing sites. As for real life experience, the good thing about the preroll, which makes it a lot less intrusive for viewers, is that you know that it is always the same and it is for the local movie, not for some giant chain or Hollywood big - the revenue generated from the treats helps this special New-Orleanian single-screen theater to stay on, stay with us.
