When to Start the Ma..Possibly one of the most manipulative adverts I've ever seen! How awful is this for people who have children? Imagine, one evening, just sitting there snuggled up on the sofa with your family and this Disney advert comes one, basically TELLING your kids that you've booked a holiday for you all to go to every child's dream land? How incredibly awkward and challenging is it going to be having to explain that it is only an advert and "no, sorry little johnny, we're not taking you to meet Mickey Mouse this summer, that's just every other kid's parents doing that this year", or so the advert suggests!
What a terrible way of getting children to force their parents into major purchasing decisions! Soon they'll start to ask around at school and find out that Sarah and Jenny's parents are taking them to Disneyland, oh and Joey's parents are too. But why can't we go dad? Mum, can you make dad take us, puhleaaaseeee? Ugh, I can hear the echoes of whinging children without even having any!
On one hand, a very clever ploy on Disney's part, however, I find it a little disgusting that Disney stooped so low by resorting to the manipulation of children. Oh well, perhaps there'll be plenty of happy children this summer - or more realistically, thousands of disappointed ones because mummy and daddy are still recovering from the recessionary pressures of modern day Britain.
Couldn't agree more 'Alexis'! Was literally mouth open guppy fish appalled at this advert
