Lupus Films were invited to team up with luxury fashion brand Barbour and agency Thinking Juice to produce this magical Christmas advert, following on from their collaboration in 2016. Both ads feature the ongoing animated adventures of Billy and his beloved pet dog from The Snowman and The Snowdog. #BarbourChristmas
In this 2017 festive offering, directed by Robin Shaw, Billy has now grown up and is celebrating Christmas with a family of his own but he still hasn’t forgotten his old friend the Snowman, proving once again that when snow falls on Christmas Eve, magic can happen…
Paul Wilkinson, Global Marketing Director, Barbour, said: “It has been exciting to create this beautiful Barbour interpretation of the next chapter for Billy, something that has never been done before. By combining original footage from The Snowman and The Snowdog animation alongside 45 seconds of new footage and introducing family characters, we’ve created a magical film that recreates the nostalgia of childhood, the joy of giving at Christmas and that special feeling of spending time with friends or relatives you may not have seen for a long time.”
