Air Canada is embracing the magic of the season with a new spot that shares a message of togetherness for the first holiday many Canadians will spend together in two years. Just like so many of us that have been apart, feeling like we have been living in a bubble, the video shows a story of two people who are separated by their glass snow globe. The video marks a return to storytelling for Air Canada, as it finds ways to emotionally connect its brand to Canadians who haven't been able to travel in nearly two years. A completely made-in-Canada story, this year's spot is a mix of live-action and stop motion animation, a first for Air Canada. The spot was created by FCB Canada in partnership with Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, a collective of artists, ideators, animators, and creators, who are best known for their Emmy-winning series, Robot Chicken on Adult Swim, now in its 11th season. The spot also features two Canadian music artists –Forest Blakk and Coeur de pirate – whose emotive songs and lyrics add the soundtrack to the love story. The story begins with an Air Canada employee (played by a real Air Canada pilot) bringing a snow globe home for her son to add to his collection. Through his imagination, the snow globes come to life, and two strangers from different snow globes meet. We follow along as their affection grows and learn why being together is so special.
