There's this TV Ad I came across a while ago on Dairylea cheese. And it had tiny bits that struck me with one of those 'waaaaait a minute!' moments.

First thing is the song, Alright by Supergrass, the same one that plays during the movie when Astro and co are cleaning up Zog.

In fact this shot


Heavily reminds me of this one from that exact scene.


It could just be a coincidence. But with the music, the theme of kids playing and the pizza slices exchanged for cheese, it makes you wonder if someone at Dairylea saw the Astro Boy movie and thought "hey! let's use that!"

My only comment is, Limburger!

Interesting. Maybe the ad company were also Astro Boy fans. Who knows.

That's interesting, but I do think it is probably coincidental -- BEFORE the AB movie I saw a series of commercials for a cruise line using the same song ("Alright" by Supergrass)

-- ah!! I found it!! it's cute, really -- looks like it ran in the UK too this is the same spot I saw here in the US

It's a great song, and I LOVED it in the movie!!
