Hank Perlman of Hungry Man directed this spot in which a lad can’t understand why his dad keeps Star Wars Kraft Macaroni & Cheese–with boxes featuring faces of Yoda, Darth Vader, R2D2 and C3PO–on a shelf in a room full of Star Wars collectibles. The youngster points out that Mac & Cheese is for eating, not for collecting.
Titled “Can’t Play,” the commercial is part of a campaign from agency CP+B which also includes a digital experience (www.KraftStarWarsRoom.com) where users can explore the room shown in the ad. Tapping on each piece of memorabilia, pulls up additional photos and information.
