everything is good except the michelin mascot... can somebody convince the company for a fundamental change? I'm sure can't be any worse.

That's powerful, not sold for the barely-dead-rabbits though
The facial animation is not that good.
The atmosphere of the background is awesome.

TOO OVER THE TOP. A good agency knows its target. If your emotive target doesn't actually want to hit animals on the road, then you can be pretty darn sure the target doesn't want to see animals writhing in pain with waffle-iron tire impressions on their backs. Michelin has always been about shelter, protection, trust, comfort and responsibility. The (very smart) baby-in-the-tire campaigns of yesteryear were a good example of what they stand for. What's next - showing babies with the sides of their heads caved in because you didn't buy Michelin tires? This went too far, feels too YouTube generation, and makes light of the very issue it is trying to address. Leave the comedy to GoodYear, and their very smart radio ads. Keep the ominous feel, but script it differently so we don't have to see the suffering.

Whether or not it's funny is not the issue - it's whether or not it's right for the brand.
