Australian Honda Jazz commercial now aired in the Netherlands

By Matt Brogan |

Honda Australia’s latest television commercial, dubbed ‘Imagination’, is now being used to promote Honda Jazz in the Netherlands.

The result of a creative partnership between Honda Australia and Revolver Films’ director Kris Moyers, the commercial was produced in collaboration with advertising agency 303.

The ad uses 1,469,333 multi-coloured plastic blocks, the exact number calculated to fill the interior of the Jazz, through a series of images — including a giant dog chasing a ball, a sneaker-wearing octopus, a surfboard riding a wave and a submarine — to demonstrate the Jazz’s flexibility and space.

Each object in the commercial was built using a number of blocks in 366 separate scenes and pieced together to form a moving image. The process took over 12 hours to complete.

After filming was complete, Honda donated the Mega Bloks used in the creation of the commercial to various charities around Australia.

    A good ad doesn’t make this car any better.

    • Shak

      Im sorta with you. Its too costly to be competitive.

    • Patriot

      Exactly.

      Forget about this lame attempt by a slowly dying company. No one with more than half a brain would consider buying this junk.

      Go get a proper small car like the VW Polo or an Aussie Barina.

        Aussie Barina???

        • Patriot

          Yes, the Australian-made Barina (or the Cruze). You know Holdens are actually made here.

            Dont know where you get your facts from…

          • Who?

            You mean Australia, the country below North Korea other wise known as South Korea?

          • Patriot

            It has always been the case, it is only gullible people like yourself who are brainwashed into thinking otherwise by these asians.

        Aussie?

        Last I saw we only have American and Japanese automotive manufacturers operating in Oz…

    I’m just waiting for someone like The Chaser to hold them to the claim: “With magical seats you can fit anything you can imagine”

    Someone please do it!

    I mean it really does boil down to false advertising……….

    In some markets this Jazz is called the “Fit”. Apparently in Europe they were going to call it the “Fitta” because it sounded Italian and sporty. Then they found out what that means in Swedish and thought they should stick with Jazz. Look up fitta to see why they changed their mind.

    A magical Fitta would really get the imagination going!

  • Patriot

    Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Fitta is Swedish for pussy. I love my Honda Fitta. LOL

    • Yonny

      Yeah, I’m in and out of my Fitta several times a day!
