They forgot to give craft services a credit. But I do like this spot a lot. Very tastefully and beautifully done for an often junky and crap filled category.

I love this commercial.

I used to think heavy thoughts, until they crushed my head.

aaaw, not bad, cute cuddly birds, what can i say? its really nice, its likeable, we'll remember it, but will we remember which brand is it for? The content is not quite relative to the product, and if you're doing an ad which has this characteristic, then you should appeal a bit more to the brand itself, making it more present. It just would have made a great ad out of this one because, it's not about us remembering how cute the penguin is, is about us remembering the brand.

Lucky birds...

Wow! Best I've seen since Cannes.
Wish I made this one.

so touching, made me cry... clap clap clap

Wordnerd's picture 5288 pencils

this is so overwhelmingly sweet!

Gray67's picture 10 pencils

Well this one is certainly for the birds.
Somehow I kept on waiting for a shot from the perspective of a man pulling away in his car - as the largest pile of bird crap lands on it.
Oh well, still heart warming.

very nice. love it!

What a terrific creative idea. Very tender-hearted. I wonder how the landing with the Emu (or Ostrich?) went. I just hope that no Emus were harmed in the making of this ad. Bravo.

Is there a way to get a copy or poster of the penguin flying.

I adore this commerical and it makes me smile each time I see it!

Guest commenter's picture

Sure, nice and cute, but are we quite sure these birds actually want to fly? How do we know they aren't panic-stricken being forced to be first-time flyers?

Guest commenter's picture

Is education in Washington funded in part by the lottery? If it is, than this commercial is all the more poignant for it.

Guest commenter's picture

I loved this commercial. I felt it was very cute and I really appreciated the message that every bird should get to fly. I really felt it was creative and I really enjoyed it.

Paul A. Benson's picture

Our favorite commercial...we watch it over and over....how can I share it with friends?- I don't find a share option

Guest commenter's picture

i love this ad, but everytime I watch it I wonder how did the land the emu?

Guest's picture

It´s so nice to see that ads could carry so positives messages. Congrat!

These guys are really lucky to have a lottery account that will allow them to do that. I have a lottery client (won't say what state) and they force us to do absolute shit time after time.
