As a child of the 80′s, I have very distinct memories of commercials like this one for Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear. Take a look…
I am literally buried under a mountain of sense memory right now. Which is all the more impressive, considering that this isn’t actually a vintage commercial, but a brand new bit of viral marketing for Toy Story 3.
Too much hugging, one presumes.
That is some impressive mimicry, Pixar. More evidence that these guys are deeply committed to manipulating me emotionally. WHY DID THAT SLUT HAVE TO ABANDON JESSIE FOR MAKEUP AND BOYS, DAMMIT?!!?!
Also, if you’re like me, you’re now looking for either this…
…or this…
I never noticed the jaunty key change in the Kid Sister section of the jingle. Girls are always showing off.
Cars is easily my least favorite Pixar film to date. Not only was it completely lacking all of the elements that usually set Pixar films apart from generic kids crap like G-Force or anything Dreamworks animation has done in the past 10 years, but it even seemed like Pixar was dumbing itself down to reach the type of audience who think that Larry the Cable Guy is the height of comedy. (Oh yeah, and I had this whole other issue about a world where even the bugs are small cars with wings. I mean, who made the cars? How do they mate? I don’t think anybody thought about this stuff except me.)
All of that being said, Pixar announced Cars 2 a few years back. Yesterday Disney released their annual report which featured the first concept art from the soon to be Oscar winning sequel. Check it out:
Yes, it would appear that the cast of Cars is going to Japan. I assume Lightning McQueen and his pal (sigh) Tow Mater will expierence enough culture clash to rival that of Rush Hour 3. Oh, and did I mention that it’s going to be in 3D?
Cars 2 crashes into theaters later this year.
