Nice Amazon holiday season commercial back again

[disneyseniors]

Some folks think Amazon the company can be controversial. That's a topic for the Controversial Board. This thread is just posting a TV commercial that Amazon came out with 2 years ago and is now replaying, presumably for and during the upcoming season. I saw it once today during the Bears football game.

I smiled back then, smiled again today. Some commercial writers just know how to tug at certain heartstrings, oftentimes past memories. Wish I could do those hills again like oh so many years ago.

For those who might like to debate Amazon the company, please start a thread on the CT board, link above.

ETA company link added by the board, not me

We love that commercial and get a laugh out of it every time we see it. I didn't know where it came from and I don't care really. It's a wonderful commercial that just makes you feel good

What's also great is that these women are getting a nice chunk of change from the commercial to help them in their latter years. Actors no longer get paid every time a commercial airs, due to how many cable TV channels there are. Last I read, actors instead get paid for every 13 week cycle a commercial runs. And paid per market/region that shows the commercial. Since this is Amazon, it's a national commercial, so many markets. And since this is the second(?) year this commercial is running, during the summer months the commercial is not airing, they get a holding fee during that time, so the actors can't go and film a competitor's commercial during that time. And if it shows on the Internet, they get money for that.
