In order to promote its website development platform, this year's Wix Super Bowl ad gets a bit of help from the cast of Kung Fu Panda and some previous Big Game ads.
To coincide with the release of Kung Fu Panda 3, Po and his friends are motivated to drive business to Mr. Ping's Noodles. To do this, Po dreams up several commercial ideas, which take inspiration from some of the most memorable ads of the past, including Old Spice's 'The Man Your Man Could Smell Like,' as well as the one that starred the Budweiser frogs. Finally, the animated clan settles on making a website through Wix, which offers the easiest and most cost-effective marketing solution.
