After watching this commercial in class, this is definitely my favorite video. It brings you in right away - there are not words, just the famous 'Star Wars' song everyone knows, followed by the cutest kid in the world dressed up as Darth Vader.
However, there is more to the story.
The 'Darth Vader kid' is actually six year old San Clemente, and he has a heart defect.
"He had his first surgery when he was 3 months old at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles," she said during the interview. "They saved his life and gave him back to us. About a week after his first surgery he had to have a pacemaker. He has maintenance on that. So he's seen routinely at the hospital ... he's a real inspiration ... he can do anything."
His mother is quoted in the article --> OC Register Article.
This commercial offers more than a minute of 'something cute', but a great story behind it. I applaud you, Volkswagon.
