ER she is obviously a natural actress. I must admit the ad freaked me out at first, but I love it now. My 3 year old loves it and laughs all the way through it.

Tidgypuds · 30/01/2009 20:55

Ah well done to your DD, my two DCs love the ad, I think she has brought a smile to a lot of people this week.
Ignore the you tube messages they obviously not worth the time of your thoughts.

SalBySea · 30/01/2009 20:57

I love that ad! The kids are so cute - ignore the outrageously nasty comments, some people in this world complain and criticise as a hobby I think and would have said horrible things no matter who was cast!

Pennies · 01/02/2009 08:59

educatingrita - is your DD in a Coldplay video as well?

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 01/02/2009 23:15

Her balloon playing was especially good!

wickedwitchofwestfield · 10/02/2009 02:28

ER - your daughter playing that balloon made my day the first time I saw that advert

I am especially excited you have given us some insider secrets as my DP and I have been trying to work out how they filmed it - we were both convinced that they could both wiggle their eyebrows like that and that they merely sped it up in post production!

I totally remember her in holby I think!!
she looks like a little bundle of joy bless her

AtillaTheMmmmSweetAsHoney · 10/02/2009 02:43

ER, so for you at mean comments about your DD.

Your wee girl is lovely and the ad is funny...H especially likes it.

Somepeople just need to get a life.....something she has obviously done already...

TinkerBellesMumandFiFi2 · 10/02/2009 03:05

I love that ad. She did really well, I'm glad that she is the child of an MNer lol. Tink loves it too, she squeals when it comes on and says "look" whilst pointing at her eyebrows and bopping. I think she is trying to figure it out so she can do it!

I also thought they might be related as they look so alike. I saw a behind the scenes where they spent a lot of time finding kids that looked alike.

Frasersmum123 · 10/02/2009 09:54

ER your daughter is lovely, I cant believe some of the comments she has been getting. Some people are really sick.

Im sure I have seen that boy before - do you know what else he has been in?

newpup · 10/02/2009 10:52

Educating Rita - I love that advert, my DDs love that advert, all their friends love the advert and everyone I know loves that advert!!! Some children were trying to copy it in the playground last week which was hilarious.

Your Dd is a dead ringer for my neice in fact, sil has had people ask her if it is my neice!!

Please tell your DD she is very cool among all the children I know.

Pawslikepaddington · 10/02/2009 11:31

Oh my god this turned into a huge thread-sorry! It fell off the "threads I'm on"! Am so glad she was an mn-child-such a sweetie!!!

OMG i just went onto YOUTUBE, i haven't seen the whole advert. (which by the way is so funny and really cute)

Actually though after reading just a few pages of comments i am nearly in tears with anger, some people are sick and very disturbed, 2 commentis in particular really concerned me and if i knew of a way to complain about the i would.

I feel sick to my stomach........

educatingrita - Please don't read or take any notice of the youtube comments im sure you already know without us saying that your daughter is lovely, she has real charater and i think shes really pretty. Im sure you are very proud i would be if it were my child.

I am so, so angry........

choppychopster · 10/02/2009 12:03

I'm not a fan of the advert. The bit where it's speeded up makes the kids look like they are just about to be sick to me - not an enticement to eat chocolate IMHO!

However, I'm shocked that people would write such horrible things about your DD, educatingrita. She looks like a very cool little girl. Now you come to mention it I remember her in Casualty too!

DaphneMoon · 10/02/2009 12:24

I love this advert and so does my DS he thinks it is hilarious. It think it is so funny that they have such straight faces, how did they not laugh. Excellent.

UnquietDad · 10/02/2009 14:20

They are so funny. I think the best bit is when the girl looks straight at the camera and does "mean eyebrow face". And then the balloon.

educatingrita: you must be very proud of DD.

(Most people who make nasty comments on Youtube are spotty oiks who have never had a girlfriend, so I'd just tune them out...)

educatingrita · 10/02/2009 18:37

Thankyou again so much.
I nearly came on here yesterday just for some moral support as there were some really very bad posts recently. I expect they were the ones you mean Charlee
If it made you feel sick and angry, imagine if that was your darling little girl they were talking about, it has been so very difficult for us to read people saying those things and calling her those names.
I know I know, I shouldnt read it and I wont ever go on there again after yesterday, it upset me too much. I feel I have no right to complain after putting her up for the ad and if you choose to put your child on TV then I guess youve made the decision to have them in th epublic eye and cant complain after but - naive as it may be I never in my wildest dreams expected the ones about stabbing her to death and calling her a whore and a "thing"
Having normal peoples opinion here helps a lot to put things into balance and I thankyou all so much for the nice things you have said about her, I will try to focus on those and not the horrible ones..

MaryBSnowing · 10/02/2009 18:42

Your daughter is totally lovely.

Some people take great delight in causing pain, and don't care what hurt they cause.

Melscorp · 12/02/2009 19:08

I love this advert too!!! It was my husband who drew my attention to it the first time. We think the children are so adorable. You are so blessed!!

Ignore the nasty comments, they just wish they had your daughter's talent.

Everytime this advert is on my husband shouts for me to come and watch it. Now, my two year old is addicted to it as well!!!

What NASTY people we have in this world!!!

Be proud that you have a wonderful daughter!!!

dietstartstomorrow · 14/02/2009 18:28

I've just had to sign-up and make a comment on the you-tube site. People should just not be able to get away with these awful comments.

  • some people are just so sick.
educatingrita · 15/02/2009 14:47

Thankyou for doing that, its much appreciated.
Ive stopped reading it now
(fingers in ears, humming loudly LA LA LA LA LAAAA)
Ignorance is bliss

Im hoping to turn it aroung for myself and how negative its made me feel about the whole ad, by letting her do a sketch for Comic Relief.
The offer came through Cadbury and is to do with the ad, as it MEANT to be funny after all ; ) and they felt a link to Comic Relief would work.

I think if we do something for charity, obviously no fee and it can do some good and raise even £1 then the whole experince will be turned into something I can at least feel good about rather than crap!

Again, ive really appreciated hearing your nice comments, its made me realise that the average person on the street isnt like the nutters on there and most people dont hate her or think shes ugly- just the weirdo's who go on that website specificlly to cause a reaction.
Thankyou xx

winnie09 · 15/02/2009 14:55

Ds & I love this advert. It just puts a smile on our faces and makes us feel happy. The children are lovely

educatingrita, I haven't seen the youtube comments but people can be simply horrid. Best wishes to you and yours

winnie09 · 15/02/2009 15:04

Educatingrita, your dd is a talented little girl adn the fact that the advert makes so many people smile can only be a good thing
Good luck with the Comic Relief thing

ThreadieMair · 15/02/2009 15:16

Just seen this thread. She is your daughter educatingrita?? How lovely! It is a brilliant ad, and she is gorgeous.

So is the boy. It's lovely. My DSs shout 'Mum, it's that ad you like!' every time it comes on.

You must be v proud.

mollyroger · 15/02/2009 15:16

we adore this ad, makes us lol everytime - especially when she does the balloon bit. How much fun she and the little boy must have had
