Why do you think that working for Hasbro will be an improvement over your current situation? Why are you looking for a new job?
The interviewer wants to be assured that their position will be a long-term fit for you rather than just a band-aid, short term fix from your restlessness in your current job. Be careful to avoid speaking negatively about your current place of employment and focus on what Hasbro will offer you, why you're excited about their organization, and how you see a long term with with them.
"I have been seeking a change within a company who puts their client experience first, treats their employees with a fair attitude and has a reputation that I can brag about. My current company has been good to me the past 3 years; however, with recent restructuring within management I no longer feel it's the most conducive environment for me. I am really excited about what I've seen from Hasbro so far and think this would be a fantastic place to work."
"I have been passively seeking a new position for quite some time and haven't jumped on anything yet because I want to make sure it's the right fit. I feel that this job is right for me, at this point in my career, because it offers an opportunity for me to utilize my recent education in business while giving me an opportunity to advance in my knowledge within the entertainment industry."

I have been passively looking for a job for some time now but wanted to wait for the right fit. I became more active in my job search once I was required to commute to Boston again. I left my job at _______ in November because I could not commute to Boston for one more day and wanted to focus fully on finding a job I was passionate about.

This is a good explanation. However, it sounds like the commute was just the thing that finally pushed you to look more earnestly. Consider explaining why you've been passively looking for awhile. Was your prior role no longer challenging enough? Was there a new area you wanted to try to explore?
