Cruelty to Cookies Promote AT&T GoPhone

Gingerbread.png

For client AT&T, BBDO enlisted Aardman Productions, the folk responsible for Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run, to put together this quaint little holiday ad. It’s lighter and funnier than what we’d expect from AT&T, which bodes well, at least for Christmas.

In the spot, a gingerbread son (who sounds too old to be living at home) asks his dad (who’s busy roofing) if he can have a GoPhone. Dad agrees. Shortly afterward, a giant human hand takes a chunk out of his house.

Aww. It’s practically a cautionary tale.
