The Gift is a three-minute animated short that shines a spotlight on the comfort that storytelling brings families during times of change and how it strengthens their bonds through togetherness.
The advert is the final instalment of Disney’s ‘From My Family To Yours’ trilogy, which debuts on today across TV and Digital plus Disney’s own channels in 46 countries across Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia.
Disney fans have been following this family ever since their first ever Christmas advert, Lola was released in 2020. Viewers were introduced to Nicole and her grandmother, Lola, who shared Christmas traditions that were passed through generations.
And last year’s sequel, The Stepdad followed Nicole all grown up with her own children, Max and Ella, who welcomed stepdad Mike into their home and was focused on the importance of reading.
Both the 2020 and 2021 adverts reached over 184 million views worldwide combined.
And this time, the third instalment is told through the eyes of Ella, the family's youngest child.
The gift is a Mickey Mouse soft toy, which elder brother, Max is first shown giving to comfort his sister at night. Ella passes the soft toy to her newborn sibling at their first meet, welcoming them to the family.
The original soundtrack, 'A Little More', is performed by Jessica Darrow, who voiced Luisa Madrigal in the 2021 film, Encanto.
She said: "The holidays hold such a special place in my heart and what better way to come together with family and loved ones than through the joy of music? It was such a wonderful song to perform, and I can’t wait for everyone to see the heart-warming story which concludes this inspiring trilogy.”
This is a testament to hand-me-downs!
But, just in case you want to add new Disney toys to your collection this festive season, the company has released new toys inspired by the advert.
And who wouldn't want a glow-in-the-dark Mickey Mouse toy?! Plus, the advert has been made in partnership with the Make A Wish foundation.
"We set out to create a family unit that would resonate with audiences worldwide," Sarah Fox, VP Marketing & Comms, Disney Consumer Products, EMEA, said. "We are truly grateful for the support we have received for this festive campaign and hope that families and fans enjoy this fitting, heart-warming final instalment of the trilogy.”
We can't wait!
