    I can't get that "Toys 2" theme out of my
    head. Give the bulldog an Oscar. Better than the original.

    Randy Riker

    Love it! Keep up the good work!

    Joe Lara

    The original commercial is still my favorite...but your remake with the new soundtrack is great!

    Yep. I avoided the "real" names on purpose. I substituted character names that were trademarked by Hasbro.

    In this case the characters I used were all from Hasbro's JEM and the Holograms line of toys from the mid 80's. That seemed to fit the Barbie theme better than generic names.

    I didn't know that was the "Adventure Team" version of "G.I. Joe" that the advertisers were emulating. By the way, the characters names in the commercial were Roxanne, Nick, and Tad.

    I loved the original commercial, and I love this remix as much! My grandniece is going to scream when she hears the "Kim Possible" theme!

    I do have the original, but the video is not as clean. I'm working on upgrading it though. Watch the blog or my Joe page for when it is done.

    Tom,
    This is great! Any thoughts on cleaning up the original Nissan ad ?

    This is great! Your music selection is SO much better than in the original.

    These commercials were part of the great ad teams from TBWA Chiat/Day in the 90's...the same teams that did the Absolute Ads and the Taco Bell "Yo Quiero" dog. Coupled with the "1984" Apple commerical, Chiat/Day is the major reason I got a degree in Advertising.

    (A degree I NEVER use, btw...that minor in Graphic Design is another story, however.)

    ps- GarageBand is another reason to ditch the PeeCee format. The whole iLife series is worth it.
