Peugeot teams with Disney Pixar for release of Toy Story 3

Peugeot is delighted to announce it is teaming up with Disney.Pixar for ‘Toy Story 3’ – this Summer’s most hotly awaited movie which will be on general release in the UK from 19th July in Disney Digital 3D.

Peugeot and Disney have teamed up for the first time for a significant European marketing campaign which will include a drive to Dealership promotion, supported with bespoke TV, print, in-dealer and online activity to celebrate the ‘Toy Story 3’ cinema release and the subsequent DVD and Blu Ray releases.

A highlight of the campaign is a ‘Toy Story 3’ Peugeot TV commercial which will run on a multi-platform basis across Europe featuring Peugeot’s award-winning 5008 MPV and Woody, the famous cowboy from the film.  The commercial shows a family arriving home in their Peugeot 5008, but when Woody forgets his hat in the car fun ensues, bringing both car and character to life.

The animation was made possible due to a unique collaboration between the Peugeot and Disney.Pixar creative teams who teamed up to develop the storyline, strong characterisation and humour that movie-lovers will recognise from the ‘Toy Story’ series.

The commercial screens on 1st July in the UK and 2nd July in France and Germany. The tie-up was welcomed by Ollie Griffin, Manager, Brand Advertising at Peugeot who commented: “Peugeot is delighted to be working with a like-minded family brand such as Disney. 'Toy Story 3' looks set to be this Summer’s blockbuster movie and we believe the campaign will really capture the imagination of our customers.”

Peter Fitton, Senior Vice President of Ad Sales & Promotions, The Walt Disney Company (EMEA) commented:“The Walt Disney Company is delighted to be working with Peugeot across Europe. We strive to offer partners innovative and creative marketing solutions across the breadth of our business and this is a great example of us doing just that.”

To coincide with the release of ‘Toy Story 3’, Peugeot Dealers will also be offering families the chance to win a fantastic holiday to California.  Customers can enter the competition when they test drive any of the extensive range of family-friendly vehicles – 308SW, 3008, 4007, 5008 and Partner Tepee.  There will be other exciting on-the-spot prizes on offer too.
