Do you remember this advert ??

25 replies

mummyloveslucy · 10/12/2008 18:33

Can anyone remember an advert in the late 80's or early 90's where there is a little girl in a big city, possibly new york. She's just walking around the city, she looked about 4 and was wearing a traditional wool coat if I remember rightly. I remember seing the advert and thinking she was the cutest little girl ever. I'd love to know the name of the advert so I could watch it on utube. I can't remember what it was advertising though. If any of you remember it please let me know.

Was it a bank or insurance?

Was she in colour & the rest in black & white?

ChiefElf · 10/12/2008 18:35

She had a red coat.

Car advert of some sort.

mummyloveslucy · 10/12/2008 18:36

Yes I think so, like the little girl from schindelers list.

I thought of it the other day when my daughter was wearing her red wool traditional coat and with her long ringlets it made me think of the advert. It would be so interesting to see if they do look alike.

Yes, that's what I said.

Oh I've just realised I spelt it with just one mistake. That is actually very good for me.

Was definitely a car advert - VW?

mummyloveslucy · 10/12/2008 19:05

I've had a look and still can't find it. It's annoying.

A little googling has come up with this - twas a Peugeot 406 ad and here it is on you tube. I clearly have too much time on my hands!

TheVirginGoober · 10/12/2008 19:11

You just inspired me to look up my old favourite ad. I am laughing very hard here!
Paxo.

TheVirginGoober · 10/12/2008 19:12

The 3rd on down, 1989 advert, with the geeky bloke.

southeastastra · 10/12/2008 19:14

southeastastra · 10/12/2008 19:15

TheVirginGoober · 10/12/2008 19:16

That's the one SEA.
I love that ad.

nannyeggnogg · 10/12/2008 19:17

goober, I've been trying to find that animated paxo ad for years. Thanks!

mummyloveslucy · 10/12/2008 19:18

Hi, I've found it. It wasn't the peugeot one. ( although she does look more like my daughter than this add.)

It's the 1988 VW passat add in NYC.
I's so sweet when she kicks her leg up.

southeastastra · 10/12/2008 19:26

mummyloveslucy · 10/12/2008 19:32

Hear is a link to the add, I hope it works.

TheVirginGoober · 10/12/2008 19:34

Not obsessed, just interested in an un healthy way.

mummyloveslucy · 10/12/2008 19:37

It didn't work, why don't my links ever work?

Lol not obsessed with paxo - couldn't remember what it was for but I remembered the advert because it showed a chicken cinema with a film starring George Seagull and Gregory Peckory, oh how it made me chuckle .

However, whenever I desccribed the advert to other people they though I had made it all up. Ah but now they'll have to eat their words..mwahahaha!

Brendanmreid · 17/12/2016 17:41

It was a 1990 advert for the Volkswagen Passat. it's official title is God Bless the Child and it was directed by Tony Kaye, there are numerous versions on YouTube including one that is over a minute long
