There's also stills from the commercial (with wacky comments for each) and stills from the parade, too.

If you try to play them directly without downloading them, that's when you won't hear any audio on those RealMedia files.

Originally Posted By Jafar30 I saw the short version this morning. I thought it was cute and well done.

Originally Posted By leemac It is meant to be the first time that Feature Animation has collaborated with Parks & Resorts for a commercial. I loved it, I think it is such a great concept to have the characters coming from all across the world to converge. Plus Kelsey Grammer's voice is perfect.
Originally Posted By iceknyght I love the commercial... It's a good idea and the CGI characters aren't too bad (some are better than others)... The only problem I have is with the voice over (not Kelsey himself, but what he says)... He mentions there are 'several new attractions' coming... Um, aren't we just getting Buzz as a 'new' attraction? Other than that, great commercial... I'd love to see a couple other commericals (maybe featuring other characters or something) based on this concept throughout the year...
