Disney’s Beautiful Christmas Advert Launches in the UK
Television viewers in the UK were treated to Disney’s beautifully emotional 2021 Christmas advertisement, named The Stepdad, that left the nation with happy tears filling their eyes.
The ad tells the story of a stepfather, Mike, taking the big step of moving into the family home of his wife and her children.
The story continues to show the family throughout the course of the holidays, with Mike’s family coming over to celebrate holiday traditions with their newly integrated family.
When the children read a book filled with classic Disney tales that was gifted to Max, the eldest child, by their birth father, Mike steps back.
Tensions raise when the family builds and decorates their own gingerbread house, which Mike is not able to protect from breaking apart when the family dog attempts to take a bite.
The children run off in tears as Mike takes the incident to heart.
The advertisement then cuts to the next morning with the children waking up to their reconstructed gingerbread house with a beaming Mike, happy to see them happy once more.
The Stepdad tells a beautiful tale of two families integrating with one another, a story that is often not told.
The music heard behind the advert is penned by double Grammy award winner, Gregory Porter, is titled Love Runs Deeper.
100% of the proceeds from each download of Love Runs Deeper until December 31st will go towards the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Disney’s charity of choice.
