You Guys Remember LOTS-O-HUGGIN BEAR?
As a child of the 80s, one of the things I love most about the internet is being able to remember all the commercials I saw for toys as a kid, and then being able to look them up immediately.
Remember Lots-O'-Huggin Bear? The cute, adorable pink bear who all the girls wanted?
No…?
Not even after the commercial above?
How about after seeing the Japanese commercial?
Still no?
Perfect. Because it’s not real. Both of these commercials are pitch perfect fakes created by the team at Pixar as part of a promotional push for Toy Story 3.
See, Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear is a part of the new movie (you may remember having seen him briefly in Up), and to add to the past of the character, they made these fake, aged, VHS transfer-looking ads for use on YouTube.
We’ll have to see if they do any others, but gosh, these are cool.
Toy Story 3 hits theaters on June 18th.
