CHILD LABOUR!!!!

[brainfreeze77]

I hope this commercial never dies. The start with the driving on the road and the stars above are forever embedded in my childhood memory as "Christmas time!!!"

I just seen this on tv a few mins ago and had to find it on youtube, I'm glad they are using it again. It's magic.

They still show this advert in the UK from time to time, but normally in the autumn months coming up to christmas. I think the last time I saw this ad on TV in the UK was in November 2009. In a kind of way like the old coca cola advert that's repeated every year, you know christmas is on its way :)

You always know christmas is coming just a few weeks away if and when you see this advert, normally. I think the last time I saw this ad on TV in the UK was in November 2009.

If I had commissioned this jingle, I would have paid the composer DOUBLE. It is EPIC!!!

I like the way the advert isn't actually selling anything more than how cool Toys R Us is. No products, no prices, no hard sell.
