Not only are robots in disguise, they shake booty on the dancefloor pretty good too. They never did that when I was 9....!

Yup, that's what I thought too when I saw it recently in TV: Bloody brilliant!

Here's another new car advert that jazzes up an old musical favourite:

You kind of have to see it on a big screen for the full impact though -- it's pretty freaky.

is that the 'singign in the rain' one?

Yeah, sure is. Not sure what Mr. Kelly's family would make of it!

i'm thinking how used to cgi we are now
that advert would have blown me completely away a few years ago, now i liked it, but i must admit i was spotting the occasiional mapping flaws in the dancer...is that not really bad! : )

Yeah, his face goes really weird in a few places. I think the Bullit advert for the Ford Puma a few years ago was much better in that regard, with them not mapping the face at all but just finding existing shots that worked....
