1980s Corn Flakes packet - film set on back

stressed out

This request is a bit far-fetched. But does anybody remember a Cornflakes packet circa 1985 with a set of a film/cartoon on the back. You could cut out the scene, fold it and it made a set of a forest. In the packet I remember getting a yellow plastic figure of a girl (from the film or was it someone from a fairytale?) Anyway I got hours of fun from this set. I would give anything to see it again or if someone remembers it.
I can't remember if it was to promote a film or a fairytale.
Thanks

It was "Willow" if I recall.

The Willow figures were flat paper on polystrene I think, and had a small stand.
For some reason, there packing machines must have been broken as we got loads of the figures in each box! - was only supposed to be one!

They may have used Cornflakes but I'm sure it wasn't Willow. In 1988 I would have been 13 and too old to play with this type of thing!! I was 9 or 10 so that would make it '84/'85!
I think there was also a plastic model of a pig - but I could be wrong.
The girl had shoulder length straight hair and her dress was plain. I think she was barefoot

They did at one point give away a collectible build it yolurself cardboard village, which may or may not have been a film set. I remember because I had two, and I built a town through which to drive my matchbox-mobiles.
You had to send away for this though, x number of tokens AND A STAMP!!!

I seem to recall a type of cereal did something similar only for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

Oh I remember that. There was loads to make in that. Churches and shops and stuff! And the old style matchbox cars

Who can go back a bit (a big bit!) further and remember when Kellogs used to have the cutout prints for animal heads on the back of the cornflakes packet...?;)
They were full colour line drawings & you could spend hours carefully cutting them out and bending, folding, inserting cut-outs etc. Far as I can remember there were tiger, lion, panda, giraffe, elephant and probabaly more.
Oh, those days of innocent fun when the cereal boxes gave you a whole rainy afternoon's busy fun. My kids now hardly even look at the 'toys' and freebies that are in the cereal boxes nowadays, jus not elaborate or fun enough to compete with the ninteno, playstation, gamebox, sky cartoon channels I suppose....

good god that brings back memories. endless hours of fun they were. kids now would think you're mental for having fun with something so simple. i remember too the cardboard village mentioned above. kelloggs brought out a load of limited edition matchbox kelloggs delivery vehicles,may have been a kelloggs anniversary iirc.

Hi,

The Black Cauldron figures from 1985 appeared on
the conflakes boxes.

The Pig was named Hen Wen or somthing and
the Yellow plastic figure of the pig was the rarest
to collect if I recall correctly. I remember cos I had all
of them in all colours but only one yellow pig and my mother gave it away without my permission to her friends
daughter as her kid did not have a pig and wanted it.

I spend lots of days sulking as a kid over that fact.

Susan Sheridan's was the voice actress that played Eilonwy who was the girl with the shoulder length hair.
she was the love interest of Taran the main hero.

Gurgi was a little like Gollum from lord of the rings only more harmless rascal like.
The Horned King's the big bad baddy was played by John Hurt.
There were 3 witches if I recall too but I dont remember them being free in
the corn flakes box but I do think there was a sticker album with them featured
in it at some stage on the 80's

I have the DVD of the movie someplace. great movie
for its time. Disney Cartoon.

(P.S. I loved the cardboard village/train station and also the Animal heads on the boxes]
The Village was not a cardboard cutout from the back of the box you needed to send away
for it and it came flatpacked as a cardstock model with precuts)

Oh thanks so much! Wow you know your stuff. Just had a look on IMDB and saw what looks like the forest from the back of the Cornflakes packet!!
Cool, thanks a million!

If you check out this link under Cereals Index (on the left hand side) there is loads of memories there - COOL!!

Yep it was the Black Cauldron. There was 8 characters to collect and they were repeated in 4x different colours which meant a *lot* of cornflakes buying if you wanted to collect them all. Iirc was obsessed with collecting them even though strangely enough I hadn't seen the film (nor have I yet seen it to date).

Sorry for digging up this thread again but I have another corn flakes related question.

I'm basically trying to remember the name of a promotion kelloggs did with Corn Flakes in (I guess?) 1985-86 time. The prize/toy I'm trying to remember was dinosaur themed. They were a set of 8x cards (don't know how I remember there was exactly 8 but I'm 100% sure there was) that feature pix of dinosaurs on them. The gimmick was that when you tilted the card slightly the image would change to that of the modern day equivilant of each dinosaur eg Pteradon would change into an albatross, Wooly Mammoth changed into an elephant, Iguanadon changed into giraffe etc etc

Anyone know the name of these cards? I'm trying to pick up a set on ebay or wherever but don't really know where to start without an offical title for them so any help gratefully recieved. Thanks.

jesus i remember them,for the life of me i can't remember the name of them.

sorry,waste of a post and no help:o

Pigman II

No worries. I found a bit of info myself.

This is definetly them in the picture I've provided. According to the ebay page they're called "PREHISTORIC MONSTERS & THE PRESENT" although that doesn't really ring a bell with me. I'm gonna keep my eyes open for a set.

TRADE CARDS. Kellogg. PREHISTORIC MONSTERS & THE PRESENT. (3-D) (1985) (Set)

This item is a complete set of 8 standard size 3-D Original Trade Cards issued by the Kellogg Cereal Co. in 1985 on the subject of Prehistoric Monsters & The Present. They are 3-D cards and when tilted change from the Prehistoric Monster to the animal of the present and vice versa on tilting back. The animals in the set are as follows:- Indricotherium - Giraffe, Pteranodon - Albatross, Mammoth - Elephant, Brontosaurus - Hippopotamus, Plesiosauras - Seal, Triceratops - Rhinoceros, Tyrannnosaurus - Tiger and Dimetrodon - Lion. Descriptions are printed on the backs of the cards.

They were nearly as good as the corn flakes reflectors for the spokes of the bikes:)

It's not cornflakes but I still have a little plastic spinning top I got out of a box of Weetos years ago. A right little yoke it is too - I give it a whirl every now and then to wind up the dog :pac:

I recall quite a few times over the years saving up tokens to get little die cast vans and cars.

They were the best things corn flakes ever gave away!

Remember the free Ghostbusters hologram stickers and the film set on the back of the box.
