...Hardly news-worthy, even in regards to anime, specifically. You can't say much about it with regard to Voltron (The irony of that is the article is actually longer than most ANN articles are usually.), considering the commercial in question wasn't dealing with only Voltron.

Tl;dr: Overblown.

I really liked this commercial. I saw The Peanuts at the beginning and thought "Oh, its just a MetLife commercial." ...and then He-Man ran by, the Mystery Machine showed up and I spotted Looney tunes, Jabberjaw and Voltron. My jaw dropped and I had a really stupid grin plastered on my face the entire time Embarassed Laughing

I guess I'd been drinking too much. I don't remember this commercial.

Good thing it's labeled "Interest" and not "News", then. Razz

I saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman in there as well. Cool

@0:07 Look ma, I found Waldo! Laughing

I wonder how many folks these days can recognize many of these cartoon characters. Wacky Racers, Top Cat, Grape Ape, Jabberjaw, Casper, Hong Kong Phooey, Quickstraw Mcgraw, Atom Ant, the Cosby Kids... and why is Daphne stepping out of a stretch limo, is she too good for Scoob and the gang??

Ahem. It's Quick Draw McGraw, unless, of course, you were mimicking the way Baba Looey says it.

I thin' you're right... I thin'. Very Happy

That's your cue to say "I'll do the thinnin' around here... AND DON'T YOU FOR-GIT IT!". Laughing
