Oh Please!

Is anyone else irked by the blatant re-use of the Disney California Adventure promos? It's the same ad campaign that they used 12 years ago! argh...
If I see Buzz reporting increased levels of happiness one more time...

I don't know what you're talking about...seriously, I don't remember these ads from 12 years ago at all......

Same here. I thought that these were all new ads.

The radio ads? No? Is just me?!

Although I could normally understand redoing successful ad campaigns and drawing on nostalgia, in this case I'm not sure why - the general concensus seems to be that DCA 1.0 was not that great, and DCA 2.0 is much improved - so I'm surprised they would want to draw on the relatively unsuccessful past in this case. Wouldn't they want to depart from that a bit more?

On a side note though, I saw a new (to me) ad for Carsland on TV today, with the characters from Cars riding Luigi's Flying Tires, and Luigi says "Guido - our tires! They're floating!" and Fillmore says, "Whoooaaa!". It was really cute!

We seem to get them 24 hrs a day. I watch very little TV but turn it on and there is Carsland.

Both links are from the old DCA.

I have to go to youtube to watch commercials because we don't get any tv. Just Netflix.

Kind of wish I could do that! Netflix in Canada is still sadly lacking in the amount of programming it has.

That's my point exactly!

Yes! it's just ugh...

Ok, not having seen it 50 thousand times, I thought the new one was cute. Like the part about taking the stairs.

 

[kelmac284]

Guess it depends on where you live. THey do show the new one here quite a bit but I never saw that first one or if I did I don't remember it LOL.

Doesn't bug me. I love any commercials about disney and they could play them a million times and I wouldn't get sick of them. Better them than the million times they play political ads

Just wait until Mickey runs against Donald. If Donald chooses Goofy as VP, it's all over but the crying.

That's true. I guess it's about perspective!

Thanks for posting the links, they don't show these in Texas.

Here in southern Nevada the only one I've seen is specifically for cars land. I was amused to see the ad reuse lol thanks skiing fast for posting the videos.
