Silly question, But is the Reindeer in The Ad Real.

The only observation I have is that Zefereli borrowed heavily from the very unique sound Darren Hanlon and Shelley Short have in many of their songs.

The tune is pure Darren, its hard to tell the singers apart, and the only difference is that Darren has a slightly deeper and stronger voice.

Well done Telstra! What a great, feel-good ad! A brilliant idea too, offering free calls to Santa.

I love how the brand and beauty of offering free phone calls from phone boxes is interwoven so seamlessly into the story arch. Brilliant.

I just love this add brings a tear to my eye every time I see it. Just wish the TV Channels would put it on more often and the whole add not just part of it.
BRILLIANT

@David … I’ve been using free calls with the Telstra phone box for quite awhile now. Living in a rural area, I’d really love to see more. I’m not some one who always remembers to grab their mobile phone.

Are you sure it’s a reindeer? If it is it’s the fattest one I’ve ever seen!! Looks more like a dodgy upped cow

Accidentally saw it on telly and the ad glued me to the set.
Chased it up on YouTube and watched again.
Brings great to me every time…
Why…Who knows

But beautiful work.

Oh, and I loved the reindeer. If it’s cgi, it’s damn good

I’m a great grandmother watching Christmas movies on 7+ and each time this ad come on it delights me and I have to watch every second of it. Thank you for restoring Christmas to us in this beautiful way.

I’ve sent a message before but seems lost. This is a brilliant and heart stirring ad and a delight to watch. Unlike 99 percent of other ads. Congratulations to you and the amazing company which created it. I’ve watched it over and over again. It’s a sweet, classical and visual treat which gets its message across so effectively. Thank you for the best Christmas ad ever! Do not understand the haters but that’s because they are basically fold who just want to knock. I adore the whole ad and it’s lovely backing music. Well done! And thanks for getting poor Dasher home!

I get what they are trying to do, but this is so understated, that it’s uninteresting to want and stay in front of it and watch. A long emo indie film made for over 55 housewives but aimed at children who have netflix to watch? Drawn out and overly emotional but doesnt hit. The VFX are bad. No this doesn’t have the magical, playful, heart warming feeling of a John Lewis ad.

Would love to know the brief here. Love that the client and agency have gone for emotion and in their words “brand statement”, but I’m sort of lost on what that statement is?
