Building upon Fairview’s successful holiday campaign which introduced us to the Tufties last year, Emmanuelle & Julien and Montreal’s Bleublancrouge create this season’s film. This year we are transported to the Tufties homeland as it is threatened by a pair of gruff woodsmen and their novice companion.
Through a simple story that focuses on the magic of giving, E&J’s adept craftsmanship shines with original and stylized design and allows space for subtle nuanced animation. The theme of the film is familiar, but the rich environments and fine-tuned characters offer a novel twist.
