Target | The Wonderful World of Disney

4 Interstitials

Work: Concept, Pitch, Scriptwriter, Producer, Creative Director.


Target sponsored an airing of Mary Poppins under the Wonderful World of Disney banner, and wanted a heartwarming (but branded!) series of interstitials to carry the viewer through the night. I pitched the concept of Dick Van Dyke losing the key to the Disney Vault, which was then found by the Target dog. Dick then took a walk down memory lane as he discovered actual original props from the film in the vault as he shared his memories with us, and encouraged us to create our own memories that night too. This unprecedented effort called for the creation of the storied Disney Vault on television.
