A father and son rekindle their relationship, bonding over a bottle of Coca-Cola in this spot directed by Yves Geleyn of mixed media/animation studio Hornet. However, the playful, heartfelt scenario isn’t between people but rather tigers, celebrating the Lunar New Year which is now the Chinese year of the tiger.
For the piece depicting a family gathering of tigers, Geleyn drew inspiration from traditional Chinese folklore, illustration and sculpture.
