great commercial recognized by the museum of modern art as a work of art. a part of the "it's time to fly" campaign, awarded the 2005 AICP award for animation.

  • Fav aswell but I hate to see the iconic United logo and colors go due to the merge with continental :(

  • @Prometheus100194 agreed!

  • From a Trivers/Myers press release page:

    "The Museum of Modern Art [has r]ecognize[d] United Airlines' commericial 'A Life' as a work of art....and selected [it] as part of its permanent collection....the visuals are set to an original piece of music by Trivers/Myers Music, which then unfolds into an arrangement of Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue,' United Airlines' signature musical theme."

    So I guess it's an original piece.

  • Long Live the Tulip! I hope you rise again

  • lol @ friendship 727. great commercial. the globe sucks.

  • Heh clever, i just realized through the whole commercial the main character is wearing Blue and White.. Which is what United's First ever livery was made of, and Uniteds current livery (at the time of the release) was blue and white.. very nice touch.

  • @raspberrian Indeed!! Oh boy....I'm already missing those ads.....

  • this best advent story abaout the life from children until older

  • @Prometheus100194 Time move forward. So do airlines.

  • 727 and 767... How the years fly...

  • I have to say that the 4 people who disliked this are not human and may possibly be lacking in brain cells. The way that this commercial shown and the way the music fits with it is what made it not only a work of art, but it touched my heart. Yeah, corny, but good job United, I'm with ya...those other 4....they don't count

  • We live short live don't we?
