Pirates Ride Commercial

[Dr Albert Falls]

I finally caught the new WDW "Pirates of the Caribbean" TV commercial that cross-promotes the ride and the film.

Considering it was probably a last-minute idea that probably wasn't given much budget, I think they did a decent job.

I respectfully disagree with people who describe it as "cartoon-ish". It is obviously fashioned after a 1930's B-Movie trailer, with the "Adventure" font and the over-excited narrator (the same type that would exclaim "Will our hero escape in time? Will he save the damsel in distress?")

You can tell the images are both brand-new and canned footage from the 1968 TV special "From Pirates of the Caribbean to the World of Tomorrow" (which I hope they include in the Pirates DVD!)

It certainly isn't an award-winning commercial. But it sure is a nice break from "Natazu", "Who are these master's of the road?" (Test Track), and other WDW commercials that run repeatedly here in Orlando.

I wish they would show some of those commercials here every once in a while...you know, to cheer me up I can't wait until the SPACE commercials start--they better blow my unbelieving friends away...I tell them about Mission: SPACE and they change the subject nonchalantly lol Their loss :lol:

That one is great! I love those ads they have on the DVD!

Hmm I think the Pirates commercial is more annoying to me than the Test Track or Natazu ones. But I hardly ever see any, so it doesn't matter. The one I've seen the most is Test Track, and one thing I noticed is the kid in the closeup of the vehicle changed. Wonder what thats all about.

I second that request for someone to possibly post the new commercial on here, as well as alt.binaries.multimedia.disney

Thanks if you can!
