DISNEYLANDISH — Marketers have the uncanny ability of manipulating us into serious emotional responses with their commercials and events, and Disney may have the best marketing team on the planet.
The hashtag #DisneySide is supposed to prompt fans of Mickey Mouse to share their “Disney side.” In an effort to get things going, Disney surprised some shoppers in a busy mall with some shadow games involving some familiar faces.
No need for me to explain the whole video, because watching it will be way more fun. What I will say — that’s right, I’m still going to say something — is that if I found myself in this scenario, I would have fallen in love with Disney all over again.
I know, I know. This is all a marketing ploy, but I don’t care — fun is fun.
Check out the video and have your child rush back to you in a flash as you hope against hope that a Disney-side moment finds its way near you soon.
