Woodland Puppets Sing an Ode to Friendship in Apple's Refreshingly Analog Holiday Ad
"For me, it was the story of how one act of kindness can bring...lots of different people together, and I think that's a nice message,"
"There's a reality to how we built these creatures, but also how we brought them to life, that is imperfect,"
Apple's short film 'A Critter Carol' features handmade puppetry, a miniature forest set, and a troupe of woodland puppets who discover a lost iPhone. The production emphasizes practical effects and the hands-on craft of puppetry, with several puppeteers operating characters simultaneously. The narrative centers on how one act of kindness can bring different characters together. Director Mark Molloy celebrates the imperfection of handmade creatures as part of their relatable charm. A quirky, upbeat song inspired by Flight of the Conchords' 'Friends' accompanies the film's playful tone.
