Is Adam going to go on about animation again? Yes, Adam is, because Adam likes commercials that use animation, especially when they try something unconventional. Amid, he of the great animation blog Cartoon Brew, has found several amazing animated ads for companies such as Orange, Nike, Honda and Kymco. My favorite are the children's drawings and stop-animated sock ads for Orange, and to be honest, I could take or leave the Nike spots. That may be due, however, to an aversion I've always had toward the Nike brand. There's just something about the approach of that company that feels like an old man hanging out with high school kids and trying to be cool. Is it just me who feels that way? Every time I see a Nike ad it just smacks of trying way too hard. It's all "zazz" and no heart. I loves the "zazz," but ze heart, you need ze heart, no?
