To really dislike the John Lewis Xmas Advert?

[DirtyDancingCleanLiving]

I just don't get it.

A bear and a hare...why? Why are they friends?

The hare looks like one of the scary half-dead rabbits from Watership Down. Makes me shudder to look at.

AIBU?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Yanbu. I like the tune but the pictures are horrible. It's a total rip-off of the Watership Down drawings too.

[Nyssalina]

Yes. It's adorable!

[dopeysheep]

Agree. It's shit. And Lily bloody Allen takes huge gulping breaths between the lines she sings, horrible.

[WaffilyVersatile]

I don't like it. The bear is probably going to die because he hasn't hibernated long enough because SOMEONE got him an alarm clock...

[DitsyDonkey]

Yabvvvu.....I adore it, so sweet!

[ineedanexcuse]

I cant stand it. All that squeaky ,breathy singing and the silly storyline. Gah!

The whole thing just makes my teeth itch. Too sweet to be wholesome.

[DirtyDancingCleanLiving]

I was really disappointed. John Lewis have got good form for a decent Xmas ad.

My all time favourite ad was the John Lewis 2011. I cry buckets every time I watch it.

[Heathcliff27]

Aww i love it but my DD4 cries at it because its too sad

[Sparklingbrook]

It's awful. And the Hare reminds me of the rabbits in Watership Down. Horrible.

[ThursdayLast]

It's awful. Too sappy and sickly. And produced too early.

[Alfalfalafel]

I love it. But I am a total sucker for Christmassy cuteness.

[GW297]

It's not as good as in previous years.

[NotAnotherPackedLunch]

Have a look for the cover of Private Eye this week .

[Sparklingbrook]

I don't like John Lewis either (controversial) but cashing in or what? Ker-ching!

[sillymillyb]

I was vey dissapointed. I wanted a good cry and instead just sat watching it thinking wtf?!

[intitgrand]

pretentious twaddle

[Nyssalina]

It's true, it's not a patch on the 2011 Christmas Advert - that one makes me well up every time I watch it!

[ThursdayLast]

NotAnother
That is cracking!

[iklFaceOfBooe]

I don't like it. Or the breathy, glottal stop filled song that goes with it.

[insummeritreinsdeer]

YANBU. Leaves me totally cold. Really dislike the song choice, too.

I don't think they'll ever beat their own advert from 2011 with the little boy waiting for Christmas. They got it so right then. I think a lot of it is down to the music, the right song can make or break an advert.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

The little boy one, with Please, Please, Please is perfect - absolutely adore it.

[TheRobberBride]

YANBU. It's awful. Schmaltzy and saccharine. Can't stand the soundtrack either.

[squoosh]

I associate John Lewis as being the ultimate English shop, and I may be wrong but I don't think that brown bears are often spotted in the English countryside. Maybe a squirrel or a badger would have been a better idea.

[squoosh]

I HATED the little boy ad. Hated, hated, hated.

so depressing.
