Great videos

Here is one of my favourite videos.
One of the aspects I like most in this video is that it tells a story in a way of a fairy tail. Apparently it is addressed to children. Surely it catches children' attention. But children don't drive and they certainly are not responsibly for changing to better tyres or drive more carefully. So it seem that the target audince is the wrong one. But is it? Who watches more commercials whether on TV or on YouTube? Children and teenagers. So here it is how the advertisement techniques work. Children and teenagers that watch this vedeo will certainly understand the message and they will act as harbringers for their family. They will influence their parents and other adults.

What it and say what is this video about. Did you like it? What is the mesage? Which aspects did you like, which didn't you like?

Share with other your favourite video and explain briefly why you like and find it interesting.
