Was probably reference for the shoot tbh.

In fairness, it’s a fairly quick insight that fun family days out make for quiet car rides home. It’s hard to say that one brand owns that universal truth or moment. Disney did do it better though.

Courage studies the award shows religiously. It’s why they win so many awards. If an idea has won before chances are it will win again if modified. How much you modify it is what takes courage to do.

I mean yep. Rethink knows exactly how to game awards and Joel / dhuval etc just took that concept with them and ran with it.

Everyone who worked on this should feel embarrassed. The Disney campaign was a big reference point in the industry at one time - it wasn’t some one off awards bait no one heard of. Blatantly copying someone else’s idea is just lame.

They almost certainly did Google it

Yeah, where does OP think they got the idea from?

They copy like this a lot. A lot of their KFC work is blatant rip offs.

How are they able to keep doing this? We need good shops but we also need shops with integrity…

I dare someone to post a '"Throwback to this amazing campaign that Disney did!" , with 0 mention of courage or this campaign.

Would they really copy it though? Maybe they’d never seen it and stupidly didn’t google? I just can’t imagine intentionally copying a campaign. Especially one so well-known.

There’s a French guy whose blog is all about copycats. Joe La Pompe is his name. https://www.joelapompe.net/2026/03/10/children-faling-asleep-on-the-way-back-fatiguant-a-la-longue/

You can actually vote if you think this is a copycat or just a coincidence. Honestly, in an industry that’s over 100 years old now, it’s hard not to think of something that has been done before, but it’s even harder to believe they didn’t research that idea before. I mean, Google it or paste this in Gemini with a simple “was this idea done by anyone else before?” prompt to be sure.

Yep

This looks familiar but it wasn’t obvious at first. But ya I kinda remember that campaign I guess?

Good!

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
