Lights, Camera, Action!


advertising cartoon

Summer’s here and I’m excited about movies!

In addition to the regular action blockbusters and goofy comedies, there’s a whole slew of sci-fi and superhero films I can’t wait to settle into with my popcorn and a box of Whoppers.

Still, as much as I’m looking forward to these films, I’m already tiring of some of the accompanying merchandising and co-branding.

Soda? OK. Toys? Sure. Lunch meat? Really?!

So one day while musing on the old “lights, camera…” phrase, the idea of modernizing that trope came out in this cartoon.
