... Which, I think, has not been posted here yet.

Elefun, Astro, and Lamp try to sell us a Toyota... Sorrounded by about thirty more Tezuka Charachters! (I hope Jeffbert, Putrocca, Zoriana and the other guys would forgive me...)

I love that this is an ad for a hybrid car, it does fit Tezuka's ideas!

It's cute! Thanks for sharing!

This reminds me of that Simpsons' episode, with the glove, the Southern man and ... The unforgetable Tomaco!!!

"How can my grandpa come there is he's... He's... Pinned under a tomaco...?"

Oscar: ¡¡ANDREEE!!
André: ¡¡OSCARRR!!

Oscar: Ah, if I only could, I would change my life and turn into a bird... If I only could turn into a bird, I would go to you... Ah, André... My love.

André: Ah... ¡Oscar! the broad space separating us can join as the hundreds of light years that cross the infinite universe!

Funniest ad ever!

As much as that video is inoffensive in itself, some dirty mouthed **** has posted obscene comments about it. Please remove the link.

Does anybody know why this ad was banned? Was it just because there's a ten year-old boy driving a car?

I think it was banned because it 'suggested' that little kids could or should drive like Cruella Deville. However, I think it was ok to show them fantasizing, but it went too far in some of the stunts. People just do not interrpret it as a child's fantasy. Our culture is too likely to miss the metaphor and interpret things concretely.
