Cricket Wireless: leaderboard-top-1 by Argonaut
- Location:
Cricket Wireless has become known for its furry and oddly shaped animated characters, and for the holidays it is giving four of those characters the Hollywood treatment in a three-minute Christmas fairytale.
The cell provider is launching a blockbuster of a holiday campaign with the help of its AOR Argonaut. The short film, ‘Four for the Holidays’ brings its animated characters to life.
The film is a story of four friends with holiday plans that take them across the US, Mexico, and Canada. After finishing up what appears to be a holiday musical shoot, furry character Dusty asks his friends Rose, Chip and Ramon to join him for New Year’s Eve. But all have plans to spend time elsewhere. They text, post, and share joyous holiday moments but as time goes on, they realize they’re missing each other most of all. At the end of the film, the four characters reunite and discover that in a season of sharing – the best holiday plans are the ones that bring friends together.
