Glass and a Half Full Productions called upon Moving Picture Company to created this highly-entertaining 1:30 minute ad for Cadbury, who are a sponsor of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Very clever throughout, brilliant CG work and a easily one of my favorite spots of 2010. Nick Gordon at Academy Films directed.

Glass Half Full Productions, which is owned by Cadbury, were behind the immensely popular Cadbury Eyebrows ad.

Ole Peters at Sehsucht GmbH (in conjunction with Markenfilm Schweiz) directed this spot for Bank Coop. It’s titled Evolution, and we watch oragami animals walk through Darwin’s dance.

The third installment in the Fable action RPG series arrives on October 26th of this year, and below is the opening cinematic to whet your appetite. You wouldn’t expect it, but it’s really quite funny. Fable III was developed at Lionhead Studios.

Nathan Love directed this new CG spot for Baskin-Robbins. Sigmund Lamberto handled character designs and Tony Travieso lead the animation effort. The spot is titled Sheep.

I think the agencies get railroaded into creating yesterday’s work all over again. Chris Riehl directed the ad, which is titled A Better Bullseye.

New Zealand’s Yukfoo Animation has been tinkering with an in-house short for a few years now. Preferably Blue is the tale of the Easter Bunny bent on taking down Santa Claus, and it’s currently being submitted to various festivals. Here’s a :40 second trailer for the CG short:

Psyop just made Kool-Aid cool. So many animated spots aimed at kids are filled with lame, pandering characters that almost mock their audience. As expected, the world-class team at Psyop brought life and imagination to these Fun Fizz ads. Here’s one of my favorites:
