It is terribly forced. Nonetheless, it conveys the urgency of WWF's mission. An urgency to run to the pet store and buy 40 of these adorable miniature pandas (or adopt one at a zoo if this fictional breed is nearing extinction).

Why should this be forced? It tells a truth. This is a lovely and powerful ad. Thumbs up for me!

whoever suggested that small animals were less important?
looks to me like the "strategy" came a long time after the visual.

looks like a new breed of mini panda. the message is not clear. by the way, real pandas live near bamboos which they eat.

That's the best stuff I've seen from Italy. But not good enough for Cannes.

what does this script type do there in the upper right corner

it adds nothing, otherwise a halfway-executed idea

I kind of see what this ad is trying to promote... what they're saying is that there are numerous smaller animals currently on the endangered list.

As of the use of the miniature pandas, you might need a use of good eyes to spot them. Anyways, the thought of miniature pandas makes it even adorable.
