For its new winter sale campaign, U.K. furniture retailer DFS has partnered with The LEGO Movie 2.
This TV and online ad shows the characters of the Warner Bros. blockbuster animation feature embarking on a mission to find themselves some comfy sofas and, in their words, “save our butts.”
Created by London agency krow, the spot opens with key characters from the movie--LEGO Batman, Sweet Mayhem, Unikitty, Benny, Lucy and Emmet--piling on to a small uncomfortable sofa. Led by Emmet, their quest for comfort brings them to their nearest DFS store where each of the characters finds the perfect DFS sofa for them, including a cool black recliner for Batman.
Doug Nicholas and Todd Hansen of Warner Animation Group directed the DFS spot.
