Literacy.gov Reading commercials

[Johanen]

I don't if anyone has seen this commerical, but its for literacy or somthing like that. It starts off like a commercial for Chronicles of Narnia, and then starts going on about books and stuff like that. I was wondering if anyone knew what the song playing in the background was.

heres a link to the commercial

Wow, where did the government get their music advisor. Who does the song for the "Oz" Public Service Announcement / commercial?

Here's a link to all their commercials:

Hey, the music that plays on that commercial is sweet...its highlighting Narnia so I am assuming that it is either
A. From one of the Narnia movies (perhaps the new one coming out or the old one...havent seen it)

B. A hybrid song made to fit into the Narnia movie...

In any event, I dont know it and if anyone does...it would be great!
Thanks

Commercial About Reading

Several years ago I remember seeing a commercial about reading. I tried finding it online, but I had no success. Here is basically how the commercial goes. A few children were at a train station. They were looking up a digital board that featured destination locations for trains that were leaving. I remember that two of the destinations were Camelot and Hogwarts. After one of the destinations appeared a couple of children began to walk. The next seen showed a boy with a book boarding a train. A gentleman in a train uniform stamped the boy's book and let him on the train. The trains began to move through a valley. The train looked somewhat like the train from Harry Potter. Lastly, the a voice-over man said something, but the only thing that I remember him saying is "Read." There was song playing during the entire commercial, but I unfortunately do not remember it. If anyone can find the commercial, then I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
