Description

Since the 1960s, this adorable elfin clan has been making fudgetastic cookies in a hollow tree. This year, it is our undeniable honor to shepherd Ernie and his band of bakers into 2012 with their first completely CG commercial. A huge thanks to Leo Burnett for entrusting us with this iconic brand... and for the 200 boxes of cookies they sent us in the mail (for reference).
