Not a particularly good rendition, imho. I'm sure I've heard better. I suspect I played it better back when I played.

But it's the sentiment that counts.

they picked a very poor version, imo. It's too bad, because the doodle is cute and deserves better. The music also deserves better.

I listened to 4 youtube versions before moving on. Every one is better than what they used.

To be honest, I've never heard it played so badly. Embarrassingly bad. It is totally "non-musical," like a computer playing, or something. I was not a Julliard student, or anything beyond another art major, music minor who had a few years of lessons and played a little piano. There are probably millions of recordings of that piece that are better.
