i'm entranced. and also fearful because i can imagine gazillions of parents buying evian by the truckload in the hopes that little muffy & biff will be able to bust the same moves. posted by msconduct at 9:26 AM on July 4

I hate it when people cover Rapper's Delight but they still use the names of the guys from the Sugarhill Gang when those names come up in the lyrics. Shame on you, guy who I think is probably Chali 2na. posted by penduluum at 9:56 AM on July 4 [1 favorite has favorites]

The making-of video doesn't show the part where they teach them to dance. I can only imagine the kind of roped-up-testicles, pole-up-the-ass rigs and devices that were employed to achieve such a film. posted by fleetmouse at 10:15 AM on July 4 [1 favorite has favorites]
I think the H20 Terminator ad should in fact be the Abyss ad.
no water advert is as annoying as the Volvic 14-Day Challenge.
Deep volcanic hydration? I guess bottled water ads are a contemporary version of Don Draper's speech about advertising cigarettes: "We have six identical companies making six identical products. We can say anything we want." posted by Horace Rumpole at 10:42 AM on July 4 [2 favorites has favorites]
Wow. Dancing baby technology has come a hell of a long way. I doubt highly that Ally McBeal could keep up with that squad of roller dancers.

As I watched the "Making Of," my main thought was that they must have used something akin to this. posted by five fresh fish at 10:49 AM on July 4
It is crystal clear to me that those babies want to eat my face.

Oh Lord but I hated that damn dancing baby.
And now these... things. I mean, they look like babies, but their fully developed motor skills tell us that they are some kind of evil changeling creatures that probably ate the real babies they replaced in the crib. posted by louche mustachio at 11:10 AM on July 4
Someone needs to make a mod for Prototype with this. posted by hamida2242 at 11:12 AM on July 4
So, I just watched HOW many minutes of Evian advertising?

Good grief, my four month old can't even crawl yet. Better scrape up the funds for a skating tutor. posted by Pater Aletheias at 12:01 PM on July 4
Greenscreened-baby faces, CG bodies. If you look carefully, you can see some mismatches in a few places.
This is why I got out of the visual fx business years ago. I had nightmares about having to work on stuff like this. posted by dbiedny at 1:10 PM on July 4

Why should this have ever been created? :-( posted by rainy at 1:12 PM on July 4
Yeah, especially in the group shots you can admire the differing shadows on all of their faces even though they're presumably in the same place.
can't sleep. rendered dancing babies will eat me. posted by cavalier at 1:49 PM on July 4
On a cool summer afternoon just like this one, I watched that very same video, but just as I brought my cursor to close it, the flash player crashed! The video froze, and the audio track cut out. I closed out the tab. But in the very next tab the frozen flash player persisted. Irritated, I closed out that tab, only to find it again. I closed tab after tab, but in each the babies were there. I tried to close out the window, but the system froze. The audio track began playing. I loaded the Task Manager. The image floated above it, obscuring the list. I tried to move the manager out from under it, but I could not get a hold of it. The music repeated. I hit the delete key then the enter, delete, enter, delete, enter, until there was nothing left. The music repeated. There was nothing left running, except that music, and that frozen flash player. I hit the reset button, and then the video began to play. Click. It continued to play. I reached for the power supply's rockers witch. Click. It continued to play. I unplugged the machine. It continued to play. I unplugged the monitor. It continued to play. Repeating. Again. And Again. I gripped my keyboard and smashed my monitor. The display shattered. But behind the cracked glass, it continued to play. I threw the monitor out the window. The black plastic of the monitor exploded as it hit the sidewalk. The computer and speakers followed. When I went down to inspect the wreckage, there was nothing there but black sand strewn across the sidewalk and street. But the music was gone, the video was gone, the babies were nowhere to be seen. I got myself a Macbook to replace my computer, and now I only use Safari. The video never bothered me again...
Please, won't someone think of the children? posted by chairface at 11:26 PM on July 4
I hate babies even more now. Not cute, not creepy, just disgusting. posted by beerbajay at 10:50 AM on July 5
I, for one, am very disappointed in that deep-voiced guy who may or may not be Chali 2na.
Everyone else involved (except for maybe the actual babies) can perish in some sort of horribly all-consuming conflagration. posted by neckro23 at 12:44 PM on July 5
