Lots O' Huggin' Bear

Ah, remember those commercials for the Lots O' Huggin' Bear from the '80s?

You don't?  Ah, then it must be a fake commercial connected to Pixar's upcoming Toy Story III.  There's even magnetic video static inserted to give it that VCR feel.  Well done.

Spoiler alert:  The comment below the youtube video reads:  "MrCrazycommercials — April 19, 2010 — I totally had one of these growing up. I don't even know what happened to it. My mom probably put it in the attic. I don't like going in there, so it's as good as gone."

They did a similar thing with Wall-E:  months before the movie opened, a mysterious website, buynlarge.com (now apparently defunct) appeared.  With painstaking accuracy, it looked exactly like an actual cheesy corporate website, except that is was ostensibly selling various models of robots.
