The McDonald's blind girl commercial

created by eric+

(thing) by eric+ (5.5 y) (print)   ?   1 C! I like it! Mon Jun 26 2000 at 20:23:08

The commercial opens with a girl on a couch, reading with her mother. The scene shifts to the girl in a hammock and then on the porch, where the girl finishes reading her book. "Good job," the mother says. "Let's go to McDonald's." The next scene is at a McDonald's restaurant where the girl is standing at the counter. The camera zooms in and we see that the girl is reading a braille menu. "Happy Meal, please," she says.

The girl in the ad is Hannah Weathered from Montana and she really is blind. She was 6-years old when the ad was made.

This is the only commercial on TV that makes me consistantly weepy whenever I see it.
