Blinkink directors Andy Biddle and Adeena Grubb (aka Andy & Adena) pack this stop-motion opus for internet service provider Xfinity with warmth, whimsy, and the benefits of fast WiFi for a very large and furry family.

Andy Biddle: “As soon as we read the script and brief, we knew it was something special. We wanted to really lean into that tactile, handcrafted quality, the kind that gives films like Fantastic Mr Fox (which I had the pleasure of animating on) its unique charm everyone loves.
 

“it’s the kind of thing you need to watch several times over to spot all of the fun little details we embedded the whole film with.”

 
“From a technical standpoint, the approach was actually refreshingly pure. Everything was done in-camera with minimal post-production. If you see seven rabbits in a shot, that’s because we truly did animate all seven, together in the shot.”

Adeena Grubb: “It was incredible seeing the rabbit home pieced together for the final shot, it was almost 12 feet tall! The amount of detail that went into this one is mind blowing, it’s the kind of thing you need to watch several times over to spot all of the fun little details we embedded the whole film with.”
