I remember this and the “We’re going down to the lobby, we’re going down to the lobby” ad for the cinema food used to be played before the films started.
Was it something that was done away with due to the switch to digital from film projection?
I’m sat in bed watching this on mute and I can hear the sounds from the ad as clear as day
I’d forgotten about this. I wonder how long it’s been since I last saw it.
Its a bit like the anti-piracy bit that used to be played.
Good ol days
It reminds me of the Valve opening to their games for some reason
Better than that shagging Nespresso ad
Anyone got the one where the guy gets a call from the Cinema staff and reminded about all the rules?
It was animated.
This one and the new Wide Eye Media one scare the shit out of my brother. This one never got me because you see a split second of the coals so you can mentally prepare for the WHOOSH.
Wide Eye scared me the first time but not since.
The one that terrified me as a kid was the UCI logo in Coolock, a globe would spin around the logo round and round before disappearing offscreen and then suddenly coming right at you. I’d scrunch my eyes shut and get my Mom to let me know it was over

Gah! Why was that always louder than the feckin ads?
Lol there was always something so menacing about this sequence but it’s so memorable.
This used to fucking terrify me as a wee child
Oh god the terror

Taking the term Branding very literally.
