I can see the conversation had in the meeting for this advert right now. How can we make people aware that bringing food into the UK from outside the E.U is illegal (in some cases anyway) and bringing it in increases the risk of introducing tropical disease's into the country?? A hard hitting informative campaign along the lines of the recent think campaigns on speeding, a fun yet informative test such as the spot the moon walking bear bringing attention to the issue of awareness on the road. No no! How about we bring attention to the issue with singing puppet food! Oh to be a fly on the wall when that was suggested! I jest, but in actual fact I quite like it!! It has some nice moments, the prawns, the voice of the fish towards the ends. It will certainly be right up the street of Craig "Jeff" McKenna who was complaining the other night about the amount of depressing adverts at the cinemas (he was talking particularly about the speeding one and the one about drugs containing rat poison). But this one brings a serious issue to the public in a light hearted way.
You can’t knock that. I mean, how did they prepare the song and dance (slight gyrations) routine when most of them were kept in different cases mid-flight. I noticed a couple were out of tune but if they did improvise and were meeting for the first time, that’s a hell of a skill. And they should be proud for making people aware of the dangers of cross-continent food and the exotic disease it can bring.
