Molar Mischief
“Look out, germs at work! These loveable molar mischief making puppets really dig tooth decay.”
1946•2m•Released

This post-WWII toothpaste ad feels years ahead of its time, featuring a gang of wacky stop motion puppets that revel in a plaque problem. The set inside the mouth and the germ characters manage to be successfully charming and grotesque at the same time. Animator Edwin Shorter patented his puppet construction process, but failed to make a career from it.
