Overview
McDonaldland was created as a marketing campaign in the 1970's to appeal to children, using the same trippy, costumed philosophy as H.R. Pufnstuf. They were so similar in fact that the producers of H.R. Pufnstuf successfully sued McDonald's for infringement. The characters in McDonaldland include:
- Ronald McDonald (Character)
- Grimace (Character)
- Birdie
- Hamburglar (Character)
- Mayor McCheese
- Officer Big Mac
- Fry Guys
- Captain Crook
- The Professor
- Uncle O'Grimacey
- McNugget Buddies
Many of the characters such as Mayor McCheese and Officer Big Mac did not last past the 80's, and subsequently in the 2000's the McDonaldland universe concept was essentially abandoned as a marketing concept amid growing concerns over childrens' obesity. Ronald McDonald remains the only character still consistently seen.
