So describe it visually, because I remember when you were on here the last time talking about Boy and an Octopus, you did a brilliant job of describing the spot for people who can't see it and are only going to hear it. So can you describe, you know, you can give us like a 10 second version of what people would be seeing as they're listening to this spot?
Speaker 1
Yes, you'll see an ordinary-looking house, and as we drift down the corridor of the house, the camera will land on a little scruffy monster character, which is pink and orange and blue. It's kind of goofy, and you can tell it's been around a bit its fur is kind of matted a bit and dirty a bit it's kind of been let's say well loved um and it's a toy it's a toy and it's it's a real toy so the director chose to use a combination of animatronics so having a real toy that had moving bits in it rather than doing the whole thing in CG. And so a lot of it was live action. So it's a real toy. The toy's mouth opens and it starts to sing. And out of this toy comes a really gruff, deep voice. So
Speaker 1
Which is incongruent with what it looks like because it's fluffy and pink and orange. And then it starts to sing this song of heartbreak and you see the toy walking through the house and having flashbacks to the better times when the little girl did used to love him and then we see the kind of funny really funny punchline moment in this film is a well the whole thing's funny because it's just weird and different and incongruous but then a big shiny new monster truck a remote control monster truck comes in with the little girl driving it with the remote control and absolutely smacks our main character called Ray and take and he goes flying and it's kind of like in that moment his life flashes before his eyes and he's realising, And it's kind of like in that moment
Speaker 2
it's over So the song must have been Love, but it's over now.
