This morning, Matt and Natalie told you about the newest YouTube sensation -- Evian's roller-skating babies. Check out the full video:


This isn't the babies' world debut, however. Before they were skaters, the Evian babies were synchronized swimming stars in a 1998 commercial:

The graphics and special affects are poor quailty. I think it looks to fake to be entertaining. Thumbs down!

Cute video, but it would be nice if they could be more racial diverse instead of having 10 white babies and one 'light brown' baby.  Too bad.

I agree with Suki from Buffalo... intelligent marketing does not need sex to sell. The babies are cute, funny, entertaining and yo... they've got mad skills on skates! Snap!!

I agree with that one person, Heather? I think it was. It's all computer generated so I don't see what makes it so great.
And the older one with them swiming is even worse.
Two thumbs down.
