Disney releases emotional Christmas advert

We're getting close to the most magical time of the TV year...expensive and very emotional Christmas ads.

Disney has released its 2021 Christmas advert called 'The Stepdad'.

The ad is a sequel to last year's story which followed Lola and her granddaughter, Nicole.

In this year's video we see a grown-up Nicole, who now has her own children - Max and Ella.

It tells the story of how they all adjust to their new stepdad Mike moving into the family home.

"The book celebrates the power of storytelling and how it can deepen family bonds; as the family are shown delighting in the magic of Disney storytelling, beautiful animation springs off the pages, igniting the true spirit of Christmas" Disney explain.

Gregory Porter provides the soundtrack to one of the first Christmas ads released so far this year  with his song 'Love Runs Deeper', which was created especially for the festive ad.

"The lyrics of the track are so powerful, and underline that behind everything there is love" Gregory explained, according to Tyla.

"When I read the first line of ‘Love Runs Deeper’, 'When you open the door, I will be standing there', I was truly moved by its emotion and storytelling".
