Which scene is that? I can't remember.
maybe it was when the mom rescued Barbie from the board of directors?
I just rewatched it. I didn't see a "5 minute car commercial". I saw a five minute car chase with humor and dialog that advanced the characters.
But all of the cars are Chevrolet brand. Is that the issue? I'm so confused! This is like the most minor "ad" I've seen in a movie.
I wonder what OP thinks of Olive Garden in Sonic the Hedgehog... 😅
Maybe OP thought that the car chase happened so that they can make an ad for Chevrolet. (Which could be true, and I think had happened to other movies.)
But I think what usually happens is the car chase is already in the script and the production reached out to car brands that are interested in sponsoring the movie. Then adding some glorious shots where the brand is obviously visible and the center of focus to accomplish the advertisement and gain revenue.
