Crunch Bird Flies Again
At His Own Film Festival

The Jewish News

ure, the Bluebird of
Happiness flaunts fine
feathers and whistles a
pleasant tune. But did he ever
win an Academy Award?
The Crunch Bird did. Scruf-
fy and surly, this animated
anti-hero swooped down in
1972 to pick up an Oscar for
his creator, veteran animator
Ted Petok of West Bloomfield.
A Crunch Bird Film
Festival honoring Mr. Petok
and featuring numerous
Crunch Bird shorts, as well as
some of Mr. Petok's television
commercials from the 1970s
and '80s, will be held Sept.
14-16 at the TeleArts Theatre
in Detroit.
Born in Detroit, Mr. Petok
was inducted into the service
of make-believe in 1935 when
he signed on with the anima-
tion department of Jam Han-
dy Company, a production
house for educational and in-
formational films.
During the course of his
career, in addition to making
film features and television
commercials, Mr. Petok also
has drawn gag cartoons for
many magazines and written
a weekly feature for The
Detroit Free Press.
The foul fowl who would
bring Mr. Petok fame flitted
into his mind during some
down time in 1971. Original-
ly hatched as a promotion to
attract ad agency business,
the Crunch Bird ended up
soaring to unexpected
heights.
As soon as it was produced,
the two-minute, 24-second
short elicited enthusiastic
reaction from lab workers,
editors and the film
community-at-large.
"When it was done," Mr.
Petok says, "everyone who

saw it got the biggest kick out
of it. So I thought, 'Well,

maybe we've got something
here.' "

Neatly synopsized, the
storyline that made 'em all
laugh goes like this: Seeking
a birthday present for her
business-obsessed husband, a
woman goes to a pet shop
where she's shown all sorts of
ordinary animals, which she

rejects. Then she sees a
singularly ugly bird.
"You wouldn't want that,"
the proprietor says. "That's a
dangerous bird. I'll show
you." Then the proprietor
says, "Crunch Bird . . . the
chair!" The bird flies over and
demolishes the chair.
"Oh, my husband will like
that," the woman says. She
takes the bird home and puts
it on a perch.
Her husband comes home
after a very bad day.
"What is that ugly thing?"
he asks.
"It's for you," the woman
says. "It's a pet. It's a Crunch
Bird."
And the husband replies,
"Crunch Bird . . . my rear
end." The screen goes black.
Mr. Petok believes people
liked the Crunch Bird
because he was naughty, not
cute. "It really was the first
adult cartoon the American
public had ever seen," he says.
"Nineteen years ago, it was
quite an innovation."
