The first brand campaign in recent memory from The Walt Disney Co. attempts to push its image as a wholesome and pervasive part of family life with three 90-second spots from Leo Burnett directed by Joe Pytka.

The spots, which break Feb. 25 during ABC’s Wonderful World of Disney, depict “mini movies” of how Disney plays a central part in family life, said Cheryl Berman, Burnett’s chief creative officer.

“It’s a reminder that we connect with you in many diverse ways,” said Michael Mendenhall, president of marketing and synergies for Disney Studios.

One of the spots shows a boy questioning his dad about a business trip.
