Biting Humor: Tobias Fouracre & 1920 Serve Up a Christmas Twist for Dr. Oetker

Partizan Studio’s stop-motion master Tobias Fouracre (Isle of Dogs, Corpse Bride), teams with the VFX crew at 1920 and agency adam&eveDDB to add a dash of darkish humor into your holiday ad diet.

​Zoe Nash, senior creative at adam&eveDDB London: “Dr. Oetker gave us the perfect opportunity to build a beautifully designed, misleadingly saccharine world, all in service of subverting the classic Christmas ad.

“The hero film follows Ginger and his tiny friends as they explore a fantastical baked world until reality returns with a surprising twist. The campaign is supported by a suite of assets including social media cut downs, point-of-sale and digital, alongside bespoke social content.”
