Cool Christmas ad

[Peregrine]

We don't really get ads like this in the US - just cars with bows on top, but this is pretty cool, and the making of video is really neat as well.

That's awesome.

Or we get shitty commercials like this that tell kids toys rule and nature suckz.

Wow the "making of" video is pretty cool.

Same company has been doing a really neat ad for Christmas for the last few years, I found out - some really good ones and some really good songs, just like this years.

Silly bump as I just watched the vids and really liked the making of one.

I've wondered how "hand drawn" animation is done these days. We have all sorts of advances that can assist, even if something is still hand drawn.
