McDonald's, Bush and the FBI created Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, an anti-drug PSA

"Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue" was a McDonald's-produced fever dream that aired simultaneously on every major network worldwide, complete with presidential introductions.

We dive deep into the wild production history, the irony of drug-using cartoon characters preaching sobriety, and why this government-backed PSA feels more like an advertisement for psychedelics.
