Tetley - Super Squash

Animation

Live Action

This is some text inside of a div block.

Bumbling 2D fruits become 3D arbiters of taste in this mixed media spot for Tetley.

Blending 2D animation, CG, and live action, this spot supports the launch of Tetley's "Super Squash," a drink jam-packed with vitamins. The narrative is straightforward: a group of dim-witted, overly energetic 2D fruits undergo a transformation in a vitamizer, emerging as intelligent, cultured CG fruits with a penchant for string music and String Theory. The success of the spot lies in the humor, seamlessly oscillating between slapstick and dry wit. Driving this comedic harmony, rather than merely accompanying it, is the dynamic fusion of animation styles.
