Hot Wheels Intro

One of my favorite cartoons from 1969 was based on one of my favorite toys. The Hot Wheels car collection that every little boy had in the 1960's. Here is the introduction to the series. The rules of the FCC were tougher back then and a year or two later the cartoon was canceled even though it was a big hit. It was canceled because the FCC ruled that it was really a half an hour long commercial for the toy. In the 1980's that would start changing and toys like He-Man, Pac-Man, G.I. Joe, etc. would start getting their own TV shows again. These were of course half an hour ads for the toys but for some reason the FCC didn't mind anymore.
