“The Fable of the Wolf” 2:15
“From disguising themselves as Grandma to huffing and puffing, wolves
have gotten a bad rap. Earthjustice approached Underground to turn the big bad wolf myth on its head and make the case for protecting wolves. Because his work is at once haunting, vivid and beautiful, we turned to illustrator Daniel Egnéus to provide the visual foundation for this shareable animation. Through this fable, we explain how wolves maintain balance in wild places and deserve our protection.”

“Explorer” 1:00
“CHI & Partners and Psyop have been creative collaborators on multiple
British Gas campaigns for years. ‘Explorer’ is a charming story about
a little penguin named Wilbur who discovers the curiosities of a warm home. Together, CHI & Partners and Psyop built Wilbur and evolved the visual style for British Gas’s brand. The process and the final film are storybook-like, with the moral being the brand’s message:
‘A warm and working home brings happiness.’”
