Animation

Hoping to see similar results to w+k’s Happiness Factory from last year, Ogilvy Argentina teamed up with London-based Passion Pictures to create this :60 animated masterpiece for Coke Zero. I know I’m not alone when I say that I’m a big fan of this style of commercial and I wonder if there are any plans to make a feature length version of the spot. Aptly titled Happy Kingdom, this piece was directed by Pete Candeland.
