Plush toys will be limited to two per customer to allow as many people as possible the chance to take a Kevin home for Christmas!

Throughout the years, viewers have been privy to the twists and turns of Kevin’s life, seeing him grow from a little baby baton to becoming a sound family man himself. Animating a 3p carrot and having people emotionally connect with it is every bit as ridiculous as it sounds, and its success, says Mueller, lies in the execution as “the smallest details – shape, eyes, mouth, legs and of course movement” make all the difference.One example of this is the town square, which “probably had close to 20 separate passes that were compiled in post-production to create the final result.” The team shot three of the cabins on a fixed plate, and once they captured all of the additional passes they “were able to rotate them all and complete the hexagonal layout,” she adds. Standard size toys will only be available online as two bundles (not individually) – two per customer. Continuing to build on “the emotional connection he has with consumers” is the challenge each year, according to Todd Mueller, director at the animation studio behind the work, Psyop. It’s important to keep “blurring the line between advertising and entertainment full of charm, inventiveness and surprise.”
