- John Lewis is counting on an excitable baby dragon called Edgar to put some heat under sales this Christmas in its first joint festive advert with the retailer's sister chain, Waitrose. The campaign is fronted by a 10-year-old actor called Ruby, who had to act alongside a stick or plastic model in place of the animated Edgar, who was created using CGI

Whoever came up with this Christmas advert deserves an Oscar
Fantastic ad
Yep this ad is so heart warming
This is my favourite of all time, just seen the new 2021 advert it has not got a patch on this
yep.. couldn’t agree more.. My favorite too.
Legit
I came straight back here as well. 👍🏼

Yes literally. This years was so disappointing. This video is just amazing. Brings me so much happiness
Can't believe people complained about this advert. Egdar was cute and it showed how much his friend cared for him. Hope Egdar will be back this year
Some people should find something better to do.
I love him..I think Edgar's great.
I'd love to have a dragon like this..lol
Spoiler alert he's not back and I still think this one's better... I'm gonna pretend this was this year's too 🤣
Why would you complain about this ?
I cried at this advert when it was on, and I’ve just watched it again for the first time in a long while, and I’m sat in bed crying my eyes out! The best John Lewis advert in my opinion!
I love this ad and the song is perfect for it. Edgar is brilliant in showing how over excited some of us get over Christmas. The ad is funny, especially with those dramatic pauses and it also made me cry. Well done John Lewis, best Christmas ad ever.
I reckon Edgar should have his own kids show. The kids would love to see what mischief he gets up too :)
My inner child completely agrees!
I save my tears for lewis' advert every year
The whole year!
So thrilled that Bastille got to record the cover for this ad, a beautiful rendition that perfectly accompanies an incredible ad.
What a heartbreaking and heartwarming ad this is! Edgar the excitable dragon is too adorable
Danielle XX ikr
This ad reduces me to tears every time I watch it.
Grow up.
@@WillScarlet1991 F OFF! Who the F do you think you are??!!!
The CGI on Edgar's face to show his emotion's is amazing
This is honestly the best Xmas advert to date they have done
I can not believe John Lewis had to apologize for this fabulous advert
They had to apologise? For what?
@@fredrickthecatfish8661 apparently it "devastated people"
@@maxmel1778 why did it devastate people?
They should have said no apology to you people
@@fredrickthecatfish8661 exactly.. great ad
Please John Lewis, bring Edgar back,, by far the best Christmas ad ever
I never knew about that add until today. And I cried. It’s so beautiful
This was super super cute.
At first,Poor Edgar felt unloved by all those who were around him,due to all the damage he caused,but then his other friend thought of a way of how he COULD be useful,then he shows how much he DOES care about everyone!!
👍
The timeless REO Speedwagon's song mixed with this timeless advert...filled my heart with love,nostalgia and lovingly memories from my childhood and teen during the 80s....once again...this is timeless...😊
i’m excited for christmas
I absolutely LOVE this! It's my favorite ad ever, and I come here off and on to watch it yet again - even when it isn't Christmas. Edgar is just so adorable - his expressions are priceless. And I love Christmas the same way he does!
This will never be topped 💯

Since in my school have Christmas holiday we started learning about this and the song reminds me of school. Well I like school.
Man like Edgar
I love this advert, so sweet, wonderful advert!!
OMG Edgar is so stinking cute. I have only just seen this ad for the first time 2 days ago when it came up on my Facebook feed. Edgar is my new favourite character and I just bought an Edgar plush on ebay. I can't wait for him to arrive. ❤🐲❤🔥
One Word... WOW..
Awesome! Favourite Christmas advert so far for 2019!
Wait for coca cóla
@@ciano7711 the holidays are coming!
The new McDonalds ad is fabulous 🦌🥕
love this, i hope we see more of Edgar.
Yes... I missed Baby Oleg SO much when they got rid of him for ages. Glad to see him back with his little girl friend. I am still a child inside and awlays touched by cute stories.
This is the saddest advert I have seen in my life Edgar related to me a lot made my eyes cosplay as waterfalls the whole time John Lewis did incredible work in this
Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!
1) Someone looks as if they won't get a Christmas present. 2) Someone then actually does get a Christmas present
Danny I love your dry humour. You are an accountant, are you? ;-) Or maybe a natural scientist?
Still my favourite xmas advert .
Precisa virar um filme, muito fofo 🥰
This is great
That was the best 👌 thing ever
If only they extended the adverts a few seconds on where Edgar after burning the Christmas pudding there's a jump scene and he sitting amongst the dinners eating a plate full of Turkey,roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pudding sprouts and cranberries sauce.
For me the ending, with the glance exchaged between Edgar and the girl and his smile, is the perfect ending.
Wonderful, as usual. Thank you.
Edgar was created by a really cool guy/team player. RIP Shifter69
Bent Thunder🙋🏽♀️
I have been learning about this.😍😍
It's just honestly so cute that I just makes me have tears out of my eyes the Dragon it's just absolute I just want to marry yet
John Lewis basically runs the monopoly of emotionally devastating ads in the UK.
this was a nice video !!
Bastille makes this add 10x better !!
I love it Poor Little Edgar not his fault is it!!! And you a right the Guardian critic need's to get a sense of Humour!!!
Thank You 💓💞🥰
Edgar the dragon
Utter perfection !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved this
definitely not crying
I'm crying too much over a dragon with a nose problem
I’ve never seen one that compares to this xx 🥰
I wish this was a movie hahaha
I love this ad..It's Great
Great advert
You know it’s Christmas when the John Lewis advert comes out
I remember doing work on this back in 6th grade, i made an alternate ending for a joke where edgar slips while holding the cake and hits his head, he then bursts out fire, my friend made jokes about it saying edgar hit the ice hard and i was laughing so hard
Too cute!
Me gusta esa historia 😇👍
Edgar is gonna need a bigger pudding for all those people
We need a bring back Edgar campaign
Best one ever !!!
This should be a movie
This advert makes me ball 😭.
Smart move using Dan Smith for the vocals. 👍
Yeah, I hope they will release the full cover.
Big up my 2020 crew
LOVE IT ❤️❤️
