And the award for Best Groomed CG Creature in a TV Spot goes to this shaggy, Triumph-riding highland cow brought to life by the VFX team at Untold Studios and Biscuit director Jeff Low thru VCCP London for Virgin Media.

Set in the Scottish Highlands and powered by Patrick Swayze’s classic Dirty Dancing track “She’s Like The Wind”, the spot anchors an integrated brand campaign to launch Virgin Media’s WiFi guarantee.

For more animated creature viewing from Untold, we recommend this Frito Lays spot and BTS. While Jeff Low’s stop-motion outing with Sipsmith’s Mr. Swan can be seen here.
