Step back into McDonald's in the 1980s — colorful restaurants, birthday parties, McDonaldland playgrounds and the little surprises inside a Happy Meal.

Archival footage and photographs span different locations and years. Later photographs show surviving objects; the 2022 Halloween-pail revival is identified on screen.
