It has been widely discussed and criticised in recent years that franchises and their use of product placement within their films has had a large impact on the consumers. Although product placement within these films may not be as obvious to the viewer, then those featured in other types of films (see appendix), It seems that the volume and reoccurrence of the products being advertised can be classed as excessive. These films are also advertising bigger products such as cars and technology brands which appeal more widely to their audiences. One such film that received negative feedback for the excessive use of product placement in Jurassic World (2015)

“Did anyone else see the long commercial for Starbucks, Coca-Cola, a Mercedes, and a Pandora bracelet because I also liked Jurassic World”. Tweet @jknit135 (2015)

Another fact that is presented is, “For only $18 a month you can rescue an animal and provide it with food and medical needs.” The logos in this commercial contributes a lot because it adds in some heartbreaking facts that it makes people want to help out. But this commercial should have incorporated more logos, such as statistics.

Since the goal of the Lego Company is to make kids want to buy this set, they implement the values the kids just learned in Steven Universe to make a more convincing argument.

Some of the things in commercials could be useful and fun; for example, a birdhouse that sticks to your window in which you can see inside of. Although it may not be the most practical thing, it is a good experience for children to watch how birds live and build nests.

This same philosophy goes for other forms of entertainment as well, such as buying many new CD’s and DVD’s.
