I don't see how this film is notable. It is simply an advertisement for Chevrolet and there is only 552 g-hits, most of them archives of the video. Tavix (talk) 00:43, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Sponsored films are highly notable (ask Rick Prelinger if you don't believe me!) and constitute a very important aspect of both non-theatrical filmmaking and U.S. marketing history. As a Chevrolet production, there is notability through its producer/sponsor.  The article needs expanding, admittedly, but not erasure. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:42, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. I see where your coming from, but I still want to see what others have to say. Tavix (talk) 23:56, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well.... I found a few more than 552.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:43, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * THIS indictes over 17,000 downloads of the video. And it is in TheHistoricalArchive.com. And it is spoken of in The History or Animation.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:52, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Decided that it is a keeper per this search, it being historical inre early animation, it being archived, it being quite often reviewed, and it being part of a syllabus in the teaching of animation and its history. It meets WP:NF in all aspects.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:58, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm somewhat willing to buy that sponsored films are notable, but I believe that for the sake of presentation it would probably be best to merge this article with the other Chevrolet-sponsored films in Category:Chevrolet to create a list with more potential for expansion. --erachima talk 09:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. One of 15 similar sponsored films with their own articles.  --Lockley (talk) 03:12, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Withdraw All right, I'll agree this is notable. I should've done more research first I guess... 22:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
