Combining live action, stop motion animation, and VFX is certainly not new but Furlined director Dougal Wilson makes the mix feel fresh as well as fun in this shotgun wedding of Western and preschool movie genres.

Paul Harrod (the production designer on Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs) directed the stop motion crew at House Special while the VFX crew at Method Studios was led by Benjamin Walsh.

The spot is the latest in BBDO New York’s “More For Your Thing” campaign which slams together very different movie genres to promo AT&T unlimited plans.
