[Cherie]

Love it, nice to see a message coming through as well to counteract all the commercialism

[rubymoo]

Well that made me cry:bawling:

Beautiful ad, with beautiful music :love:

[Josy]

Depressing.

[Cherie]

Depressing.

Christmas is for some

[MTVN]

Seems like he's got a pretty good thing going on dossing around up there

[Josy]

Christmas is for some

Of course it is but then so is many other holidays/celebrations for some.

Doesn't mean the rest of us need to be forced to feel the same.

No but they have had two years of cutesy ads, time for a change?

[Josy]

No but they have had two years of cutesy ads, time for a change?

I disagree tbh, we have enough depressing ads on tv as it is without them turning the Christmas ads the same way.

[rubymoo]

I think it's right to highlight the fact that Christmas is miserable for some, and that a small gesture is all that's needed to make someone happy.

. You put it better than I could Ruby

[Josy]

I don't disagree that awareness should be raised I just don't think it should be on a Christmas ad from a big store like JL that's all :shrug:

[smudgie]

:bawling::bawling: Absolutely love it.
Had me crying like a baba, lovely message behind it all as well.
I think it struck a chord with me as I used to talk to the man in the moon when I was a kid, now I can put a face to him.:love:

[Cherie]

I think it's the perfect vehicle to get the point across

[Kazanne]

The million quid used to make that could have made a lot of old people very happy,I't's a nice advert,I like it, but it's just all about money really.

Of course it is, but I think it's nice they got a message in rather than buy buy buy buy, eat eat eat, I'm so over Christmas already :laugh:

[Rob!]

Ooh I love it :love:

I haven't heard that cover of that song before - was it created for the advert or is it available to download somewhere?

[Kazanne]

Of course it is, but I think it's nice they got a message in rather than buy buy buy buy, eat eat eat, I'm so over Christmas already :laugh:

It's got a lovely message Cherie,just a shame it takes so much money to remind people that not everyone has a good Christmas.I'm not poo pooing it really:hehe:

[Ross.]

This is lovely :love:

[arista]

This is lovely :love:


Yes The Moon Bubble
send the Old Folks up there

[Suze]

I love the advert, what a sweet and giving portrayed child. The advert is of course about money just like the Coca Cola ads are, but aren't they all. But it also has thought and a message put into it. Christmas is a happy and sad time of year, we should embrace it if we want to but not forget those in need and who are lonely also. I think the advert embraces that quite well.

[Livia]

It's a rather strange concept.

[Cherie]

It's a rather strange concept.

What, the advert? in what way?

[Dollface]

am i the only one that thought it was pretty crap? :laugh:

[Cherie]

am i the only one that thought it was pretty crap? :laugh:

No Josy is unimpressed

[Dollface]

highfive josy :laugh:


don't get me wrong, the message is nice, but i thought the song wasn't great, the moon thing was silly, they could have done so much better with the whole "give an old person a present this christmas" thing

[gamepodfan]

raising awareness for age UK too

:bawling:


wuz2ILq4UeA

best advert ever

[Daniel-X]

am i the only one that thought it was pretty crap? :laugh:

I'm really underwhelmed also. I've loved most of their Xmas adverts and the last two years especially the bear and the hare which may be my favoruite advert ever. I think this ones pretty boring and it doesn't particularly feel like a Christmas advert

[Gusto Brunt]

Gawd help us, these Super Adverts bore me to tears. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

No offence to the OP. ;)

[Denver]

People on twitter have likened the man to a paedophile :facepalm:

[DemolitionRed]

am i the only one that thought it was pretty crap? :laugh:

No!

What the hell is he doing on the moon? If that little girl really cared she'd be talking to Nasa and arranging a rescue mission, not giving him a telescope so he could see what he was missing back home :conf:

[Cal.]

The Hare and Bear one with Lily Allen covering Somewhere Only We Know will never be topped.

[Cherie]

No!

I might be reading too much into it, but for some elderly they may as well be on the moon for all the attention their families give them..i.e isolated. And if Arista has his way they will actually be on the moon :D:

[Cherie]

Monty was better

[Kazanne]

Monty was better

Was that the bear Cherie ? that was was fabulous and definitely the best

[zakman440]

It's getting it's television premiere on Channel 4 right now.

[Niamh.]

Was that the bear Cherie ? that was was fabulous and definitely the best


Monty was the penguin from last year, I agree with you though that the bear was best

[Glenn.]

It's just not realistic

[hijaxers]

am i the only one that thought it was pretty crap? :laugh:

No I hated it and that bloody awful whiney singing will drive me nuts if they put it on too often

[arista]

:joker: I'll pack his suitcase

Good On You

[Jordan.]

Why do people wet themselves over these every year

[Ninastar]

i hate it

the last one was amazing but this one is so stupid.

instead of a cheesy lonely man on the moon storyline, why not find a real old person (or a bunch of them) and buy them presents and show them love/attention.

[Cherie]

It's just not realistic

:umm2: compared to.

[Ashley.]

All those pumpkin spice latte's??

[DemolitionRed]

Oh, it was cryptic, now I get it!!

I'm never very good at cryptic :hehe:

It might not be I might be overthinking metaphors :joker:

[Ashley.]

The advert is raising awareness for Age UK (charity for lonely elders) with the tagline "show someone they're loved this Christmas" so yeah this is pretty much obvious. :laugh:

[Liam-]

I love it, it's so much better than those damn penguins, what a great message :love:

[Glenn.]

:umm2: compared to.

A little boy excited to give his parents a present on Christmas Day, a cheery little cartoon with adorable characters and a penguin who comes alive in a little boys imagination.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

[LaLaLand]

Not feeling it at all.

[mizzy25]

I think its a bit odd tbh. didn't have the sound on but the whole thing was just odd

[James]

Maudlin, and as for the pressie!!!

[Niamh.]

Well I thought it was lovely anyway

[EspeonBB]

Yeah not really liking it (although idc for the JL Xmas ads in general)

[Ammi]

...I guess that it had a lot to live up to with the hype etc.../just taking it in it's own right though and not comparing it to the previous ones, I like it....obviously this one is focusing on the elderly but the general focus on those who are alone at Christmas, is a good one and children are great at giving those thoughts and wanting to make some gesture if they can ...

[Ammi]

...but yes, a general..:lovedup:...mind you, he's probably just stepped out from his moon party to the smoking area and isn't alone at all, but just conning those humans...

[Glenn.]

Now that's an advert I'd like to see

[Cherie]

A little boy excited to give his parents a present on Christmas Day, a cheery little cartoon with adorable characters and a penguin who comes alive in a little boys imagination.

I think its very realistic to highlight that some people are lonely at Christmas, It is a bit more punchy than previous ads and make us think of unpalatable truths

[Glenn.]

No one can even breathe on the moon without the proper equipment

[Ashley.]

No one can even breathe on the moon without the proper equipment

Of course it's not realistic, it's a metaphor, as Cherie explained.

[Gusto Brunt]

How many people actually watch TV adverts anyway??

Most of the stuff I watch on the commercial channels, I record first then fast forward all the ads.

[Cherie]

No one can even breathe on the moon without the proper equipment

Christmas Magic :hee:

[Glenn.]

:laugh:

[Will.]

Will there be a shortened version on TV at times?

[Ashley.]

Will there be a shortened version on TV at times?

There usually is.

[Will.]

There usually is.

yeah.

[Jake.]

Another great ad, far more touching than the last few

[Livia]

This is a much better version...
