About the Work

This game is designed for 8-10 year olds. In order to connect with them we needed to create a commercial that did not reek of baby-ness. Most games that are targeted to this group are very childish and play down to the audience. And typically get rejected to one degree or another. So we decided to create a piece of film that had sophisticated humor and showed the rambunctious, challenging nature of the characters that kids would encounter during the game. The end result is that the commercial appeals to kids and adults.
