I thought the dad being absent was the reason for the whole 'new traditions' thing. I liked it.

Will there be Venus fly trap merchandise?

Yup. Story book and plush toys available in Waitrose.

Such big smiles at the end

It's not too mushy.

"Soppy white sad kid"

I was in a big john lewis on sunday and it was HEAVING. Like it would on Christmas Eve. They still didn’t have any of the three things in stock I went for, and no one to help either.

I do feel a bit sorry for all the Venus flytraps that will be dead by end Feb though! I hope the are sold with care instructions.

I love it.... the music not so much

the80sweregreat · 10/11/2023 06:29

The music is very jarring , but I was listening to the ad on my phone so maybe it
sounds better on the big screen.
JL are getting a new CEO next year, I hope they sort out the customer service problems they have as it sounds as if that's taken a bashing ( like everywhere else)

Eye of the beholder and all that.
I don't think Venus fly traps are ugly, I didn't think the house was ugly. The music I agree with was weird. Why is it a problem that the child was Caucasian?

I believe white people are not supposed to appear unaccompanied in TV or print now.

MrsLeonFarrell · 10/11/2023 07:21

I can't help thinking that someone at John Lewis ordered Venus fly trap plushies by mistake and the advert was just a way to sell them. I saw them in Waitrose before I saw the advert and the display was so weird without the context, with the context it comes across as a money grab.

I loved it.

Tobacco · 10/11/2023 15:07

Great music!

I loved it! It’s cute.

What a horrible racist attitude towards a child. Wow, just wow!

mydogisthebest · 10/11/2023 22:03

I really like it and thank goodness it's not another soppy tear jerker. I don't want to cry at ads thank you

JMSA · 11/11/2023 05:58

I was a bit WTF, this doesn't make sense, but I think I need to see it again.

brogan1972 · 21/11/2023 10:46
