  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
  • Presenting the new Sainsbury’s Christmas Advert - a joyous Christmas musical created in stop frame animation featuring vocals by James Corden. It tells the story of Dave, a hard-working and devoted Dad, who realises that the greatest gift he can give people this Christmas is his time.
    As the first snow falls, we find our hero Dave caught up in the Christmas whirlwind - all he wants to do is to get home to spend time with his family, but all sorts of Christmas duties and calamities are getting in his way. That is until he sees a gingerbread man on his daughter’s bedside table that they’ve made to look like him. That gives him a genius brainwave…
    Gather your family around to enjoy this very special Christmas story. #ChristmasIsForSharing
    This year, we’ve worked in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital to help families be together. Over 50% of children treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital are from outside of London, so we’re raising money to fund accommodation that means patients’ families can stay close by in difficult times.
    You can make your own animated film this Christmas with the free ‘Sainsbury’s Story Studio app’. Find out more: • Video

      I work in Sainsbury's (convinience) and we get Xmas day off but, nothing else. However, as we all get on like family swapping shifts and covering each other so those with kids can see family works pretty well. And working a few hours Boxing Day isn't really an issue, it's money in my pocket and it's normally a nice shift as everyone is in the festive spirit. I'm not paid to say Sainsbury's treats staff well - but they really really do.

      You missed the message. The greatest give is just to be there with your family no matter what. We all hits the highs and lows but family stays pretty much a constant. The greatest gift is love my friend. Hope you have a great Christmas this year and wishing you the best of health!

      @@TheLondonForever00 you are so right! I couldn't afford to buy my family gifts last year but they didn't care at all, we spent a lovely day together and they still got me gifts despite me not being able to afford it. My dad always says "I don't care about gifts, as long as we get to spend time together" and thanks to him my sister and I grew up with the same mindset, its the people that make your holidays special. Not the presents! 😊❤️

      Didnt have the warm christmas buzz i hoped it would
      But then again, None of the adverts do. I think its a better ad than the one john lewis made this year, because theirs was a bit pointless to me, like it tried to be a fun advert, yet used really emotional music which was odd.

    • @profmalicious
      @profmalicious 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dave Gunner ...yyyeah, I'm not exactly leaping to the defence of the advert on all those points. But as far as the quality of the advert's concerned, the 'PC' part just doesn't enter into it. It's the equivalent of trying a mediocre cake, and then throwing a strop about the icing.

    • @TheArsenalgunner28
      @TheArsenalgunner28 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Lunatic Llama yeah, like, i liked the whole snow flake on the track idea, mocking the delays on our tracks. But it went by so quick that it kind of lost the humour to it. Bit disappointing. I don't feel ready for christmas this year. Kind of feels like 'ALREADY!!?', but I was hoping the sainsbury's ad would at least be good to get me in spirit, but instead I feel a bit underwhelmed and now I've got 5 weeks of brick solid overtime to look forward to. Christmas jus feels like more work this year.
      I dunno. This year has been so shit. Got nowhere with anything, celebrities dying everywhere, Britain leaving the EU, then our government attempting to break our own democracy by doing a U-Turn on a public vote...I just want 2016 to end.
