If you mean "Enjoy" in a totally scary way - then yeah . . . should come with a warning.

Thanks,
seems to be a huge hit world wide, made the late news down here but they only showed a few seconds of it so good to see the whole thing. Brilliantly done.

"Scary"? I don't understand why anyone would find this scary.

Jay, you don't understand? Now THAT I find scary. Roller-skating babies?

Yes it was very very well done indeed.

Grazie

Maybe having reared four of them, and having two grandchildren, has desensitized me to possibility of rolling-skating babies being scary.

I thought it was very funny. Perhaps I'm a tad perverse.

LOL...! Are you, by any chance, afraid of clowns?

If you really want to torture yourself, here's the first spot they did 10 years ago.



And to add fuel to the fire, they have their own website.

Yeah, was just one of those nights I couldn't get to sleep. Finally went to bed a little after 2am.

Weird. The page now has this message up

Sorry, "SOUR / 日々の音色 (Hibi no Neiro) MV" was deleted at 6:30:04 Fri Jul 10, 2009. We have no more information about it on our mainframe or elsewhere.

I just was able to view this page http://www.vimeo.com/5545069/
It's a video entirely shot through webcams. Very creative

Maybe "creepy" would be a better word than "scary." I don't mind it so much, but a lot of people find it unsettling to see realistic depictions of (some) unrealistic things. For example, my wife can't stand anytime movies / TV shows / commercials show babies or animals talking. She's not afraid of them -- she just doesn't care for them. With a passion.

I'm far too much of an FX junkie -- in a couple of shots they couldn't full map the leg positions properly 'cause babies don't have enough leg -- so noticing stuff like that I defer to the real experts... Every mom we know that it's been shown to absolutely loves it. Even stuck it on a small handheld for my wife to show friends at work.

"a lot of people find it unsettling to see realistic depictions of (some) unrealistic things."

My wife is that way with most talking animal flicks -- I get to watch those alone -- with the notable exception of 1 movie they're advertising... When she's in a silly mood she often quotes the line: "poop in his hand -- poop in his hand"!

So that makes sense if you haven't seen it, that bit of advice comes from caged mice, calling out to a Guinea Pig being man-handled by a kid.
