There is no denying that sometimes pets can be a handful, but many would agree that the love an animal shows its owner makes it all worth it, which is why the track selection for the ad in question is so perfect. The song the viewers can hear in the background of the Amazon “Saving Sawyer” commercial is one that’s been around for a while, and if it sounds familiar to some, it’s because it’s been used before on the big screen in some Oscar-caliber endeavors. The track in question is “Love” by Nancy Adams, which was made for the soundtrack for the animated 1973 Disney film “Robin Hood.” Floyd Huddleston and George Bruns provided the lyrics and music, with Nancy Ford, Huddleston’s wife, chosen to sing the song. After it was released, “Love” received a nomination for the Best Original Song honor at the Academy Awards in 1974. The tune can also be found on the soundtrack to Wes Anderson’s 2009 Academy Award-nominated stop-motion film “Fantastic Mr. Fox.”

The video for Amazon offers a touching tale with a heartwarming backstory, all to the sound of some well-chosen music that lives up to its name. While many people will be talking about the game-changing trailers or hilarious celebrity cameos, “Saving Sawyer” deserves to be in the conversation regarding who makes the cut for the list of the best 2023 Super Bowl commercials.
