I Can't Feel My Legs.

Maybe it's the fatalistic whine of the violins. Or the roar of the timpani. Or the blank determination of this toy soldier with no legs. But this spot just tugs at the heart strings.

Well done spot for the Cartoon Network. I especially appreciate the posture the dying toy soldier takes after fulfilling his last act in plastic life (hitting the power button to turn on Cartoon Network). Paradoxically, that's where the ad kinda falls apart for me. If Cartoon Network has been "saving toys since 1993," why does this toy die in front of the television? Just an observation. Still love it.
