I loved this when I was a kid. The better one had flying kids, but if I remember correctly, the green screen effect was pretty bad. The song is great! Takes me back. (Sigh… good times.)

I tortured my office workers with that Levi’s song a few months ago!

Husband Jace is certain this was filmed at Chatsworth Park in the San Fernando Valley; he grew up nearby.

I sooooo remember this – the goofy song and stop-motion filming!!! In my memory the kid was a lot older, but then what was I…4? Thank you.

wondering if anyone has had any luck finding the commercial of those flying kids in their Levi’s. I keep thinking that there was animation involved with the live action. Thanks for this classic

Hi Bubbie: I check YouTube occasionally to see if someone’s finally posted it. I don’t remember much of it other than I wanted to fly too! Thanks for commenting!

I’ve been wanting/trying to find that Levi commercial of the animation/live action with the flying kids too! No luck so far… but, I don’t give up easily! It will be found! Good luck to all!

Hi Stazeeee:
Thanks for stopping by! I actually thought about writing the Public Relations folks at Levi’s, but then, they’d think I have no life whatsoever. lol
I LOVED that commercial.

I remember one where the kid is sitting on the sidewalk like he was in a go-kart. He was moving down the sidewalk like he was steering a car. Anyone else remember that one?

Hi Irishlass:
I don’t remember that one, but I sure wish Levi’s would use Youtube to bring back all those commercials. That’s it, I’m writing them! Updates to be posted here.
Thanks for visiting!
