John Lewis Christmas Advert 2011

for those that haven't yet seem the new John Lewis Christmas Advert for 2011.


what do people think of it?

The bit I find hardest to believe is that the kid waited until 7.55 to get up! I used to wake at 2am to run out to the lounge room and see what was there, I normally got up at 5 or 6 am anyway.

for those interested the song is by Slow Moving Millie track "Please, please, please"

what was said under the youtube vid:
"For gifts you can't wait to give" There is something even more wonderful than receiving the perfect gift, and that is knowing you have found the perfect gift for someone you love. This year we have brought to life the feeling of excitement and anticipation you get when you have found that perfect gift for someone and cannot wait for Christmas day to arrive.

Our advert follows one little boy who is impatiently counting down to Christmas. We see him tapping his fingers, gazing out of the window, even trying to cast a spell on a clock to make time go faster, but to no avail. The track 'Please, Please, Please let me get what I want', was originally recorded by the Smiths, and has been rerecorded by emerging artist Slow Moving Millie.
