Passion Animation directors Kyra & Constantin, who kept tear ducts wide-open last year with this spot for Ernst, turn their talents for character and narrative to a Toyota driver who finally gives into sharing holiday joy.

Produced thru Conill Advertising, the commercial was created entirely in CG and is given an emotional lift by an original track called “Starlight” by New York composer Robert DiPietro and produced by Pickle Music.
