It’s hard for European banks to regain customers during the financial crisis…
So how can they possibly convince people to re-invest their money in a bank? By telling their money is safe and that their invested money will increase when time passes by..

See for yourself!

Inlingua is one of the world’s leading language training organizations with over 300 Language Centers in 40 countries across Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America.

Who doesn’t like Wallace & Gromit, the two funny plasticine characters, who are always involved in funny situations…
Nobody!
That’s what Npower, the electricity and natural gas supply company, thought and they made a commercial with our two friends…

How does somebody come up with this?
A rabbit bred with a panther, attached to jet turbines, skating on ice with the wind in his back, doing a ski jump with a fighter pilot on its back…

Don’t ask me, but I think the result is pretty amazing and clear..

The Belgian public bus transport company “De Lijn” proves it’s better to travel in groups. These great animation films were created by Duval-Guillaume Antwerp, they show the way to do it using some cute animals.
