McDs Gets All Stop Motion. We Remain Unconvinced

We hardly recognize the McDonalds we’ve come to know so well in this stop motion ad by DDB, Chicago and production company Vitamin.

Stop motion is, like, the new sex (Lux best demonstrates: 1, 2). Gotta say, the method that helps make soap sexy can also do wonders with McD’s.

The only question is, can the crisp and health-savvy ad get rid of the perpetual moisture that seems to plague the restaurant’s floor? Or the square-shaped eggs in the breakfast sandwiches that betray utter non-freshness? Or the unhappy-looking, sickly-colored cheese? Or the flat and unimpressive non-meat-tasting patties?

Like hook-ups on MySpace, McDs runs the risk of traumatizing the ad-charmed with is actual appearance.

Ask a woman in her sixties what she wants to do with a free Saturday, and many go quiet, not for lack of preferences, but because decades of quietly editing their own desires to match someone else’s have left them without an easy way back to what was theirs to begin with.

Economists studying happiness data from more than 130 countries found that well-being typically bottoms out around age 47 or 48, then rises again through later adulthood — meaning the average happiness curve often improves well beyond midlife rather than continuing to decline with age.
