Last but not least: Barbie's quirky sister
To make a smartphone appealing to a target audience, manufacturers—unless they're Apple—have to really go all out. Nokia, too, has produced an elaborate commercial for the N8 Pink to win the hearts of teenage girls. Pretty weird…
It starts off kind of cute. Barbie’s sister is riding a pink Bambi. But by the time the doll turns her head 180 degrees—if not sooner—it gets a little creepy—it’s straight out of *The Exorcist*. And then there’s the sequence with those legs arranged in a circle, moving to the music. It’s not entirely clear whether the ad is meant to encourage people to buy a smartphone or a Barbie doll. Reactions on the YouTube channel show, at least, that the music (by the Sugababes) is well-received.

In any case, the "making-of" video for the commercial is interesting. They really put a lot of effort into it.
