About the Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear commercials —
Buzzfeed: ‘Pixar created a YouTube channel, filled it with classic 80s toy commercials for weeks, then released this “vintage” video introducing Lots-o-Huggin' Bear, a new character from Toy Story 3. It's so well done, I almost remember these being real.’
Slashfilm.com: ‘It’s incredibly well made, from the jingle to the wardrobe, to the VHS-tape appearance . . .’
Mashable.com: ‘Directed by Chris Cantwell, the Toy Story 3 Blu-ray edition features a 90-second “making-of” clip showing the ads both untreated and then treated for YouTube. The details in post-production — as well as the decision to release the clips on YouTube — made the Lotso spots a viral sensation.’
Social Times.com: ‘Genius . . .’ The lead spot has had more than 1,350,000 views on YouTube.
About the Cars ‘N Deals ‘Sale-a-Bration’ spot —
Adfreak: ‘Supposedly not an ad for a used-car dealer but a brilliant viral promo for Disney-Pixar's upcoming Cars 2’
Mashable.com: ‘Building on the highly successful campaign from Toy Story 3, the marketers at Disney Pixar have crafted this hilarious and well-produced faux used-car advertisement directed by Chris Cantwell (the same guy who directed those amazing Toy Story 3 ads).’
