In this Super Bowl commercial for Frito-Lay directed by Tom Kuntz of MJZ for Goodby Silverstein & Partners, the team at Untold Studios created a chorus of singing and breakdancing CGI creatures. From a beat-boxing fox, voiced by Charlie Puth, to a songbird which emerges from the mouth of a crocodile, played by Grammy-winner Megan Thee Stallion, Untold Studios pushed the boundaries for this Big Game ad in which varied creatures discover the captivating flavor of Flamin’ Hot Doritos and Cheetos.
The BAFTA and EMMY-nominated VFX team at Untold, made up of over 45 artists based around the globe, came together to craft the seven characters seen on screen. The entire anatomy of each creature was built from scratch, using state-of-the-art CGI technology over the course of three months.

Wells Fargo has rolled out the new iteration of its partnership with Academy Award-winning actress and producer Reese Witherspoon, this time taking audiences to Paris, the City of Light.
Directed by Taika Waititi via production company Hungry Man and created in partnership with BBDO New York, this :30 captures Witherspoon discovering Paris through fresh eyes, thanks to the benefits of the Autograph Journey credit card. From exploring iconic landmarks to dining at charming local cafés, the spot celebrates the magic of experiencing a beloved destination in an entirely new way--an extension of the campaign’s core message about rediscovering travel.
This latest creative follows the London-based debut ad with Witherspoon that launched last fall and continues the campaign’s travel-led storytelling, using iconic global cities as backdrops to bring the credit card’s rewards to life.
Greg Ketchum, executive creative director, BBDO New York, said, “Reese represents something we all recognize--the way work can turn travel into a blur. You’re moving from one place to the next without really being in any of them. With the Autograph Journey Card, the idea is to shift that perspective. It gives her--and all of us--a reason to slow down, rediscover the moment, and experience a place like it’s the first time.”
