That was one of the most random commercials I have ever seen o-o

[karicops]

this is awesome! great concept

[BarryJ72]

Brilliant ad, and I've just popped out to the corner shop to get some chocolate, so it worked!!!

[dogfish182]

Cool ad!

@gday11111 the conclusion of the ad + Kiwi is in no way similar. the awesome 'Kiwi' clip can't be the only media to ever tackle the plight of the flightless bird. This is clearly another angle.

[Bax7a]

That is so cruel

[Robianw]

Great ad, visually stimulating and quite original. Keeps you wanting to see the end concept and makes a subtle but powerful product tie in.

[Freeformax]

It keeps you watching, highly original concept. I couldn't take my eyes off the ostrich and wondering what the f is he up to?

[gday1111111]

The sheer number of people noticing the similarity speaks for itself.

I doubt you could look the creator of 'Kiwi' in the eye and say the parallels are a coincidence (assuming you had a hand in making this).

To me it's obvious the idea was seen as a success and somebody thought it would be a good way to sell some chocolate.

But whatever let everyone see the two videos and make up their own minds.

@gday1111111

Actually the creative team had conceptualised this ad nearly 2 years ago. In fact they were completely unaware of any such ad until it was brought to our attention some weeks ago. So in fact our ad predates the Kiwi commercial by a long shot.

[AdmanMadDog]

@gday1111111 As an agency we are committed to an ethical work process that would never abide copying or imitating any ad. We'd have to be pretty foolish to choose to 'copy' an award winning ad like the Kiwi ad. But as you say, people will have to make up their own minds and decide.

@gday1111111 Straight from the mouth of the Executive Creative Director working on this commercial!

[tincanpub]

In the case of the Cadbury Ostrich ad, we are personifying the animal himself attempting to capture a pure moment of joy, a brief experience of a few seconds when he transforms himself from a flightless animal into a regular bird. The ostrich is taking on a very human ambition to enjoy this moment of freedom and spontaneity, combined with a very liberal dose of humor and exaggeration. We're clearly playing in the land of dreams and fantasy.

[tincanpub]

While their might be a superficial similarity between the two ads since they both feature flightless birds flying, they are distinctly different.

The one attempts to dramatize one man's interpretation of what a kiwi bird might want to experience.

Kiwi es increíblemente triste, ahí esta su belleza.

Esto es feliz, por eso un comercial.

[kungfuchoirboy]

I want to like it....but I'm afraid this is a total rip-off from Hondas Impossible Dream - same music build, same gag at the end (replace the balloon ascent with the parachute)

[cecirizuto]

Que viagem!! hauahuahauh

[Hermienlombard]

Brilliant, surely a story of JOY!

[pcmccormick]

This is a ripoff of the "Kiwi!" video.

[thepunknik]

this is a great ad, but the version with the hendrix track is awesome! what's the deal?

[ajesh99]

<3 it!!!!

[zivlazar]

I just hope The Sun doesn't decide to send a team over to save that ostrich from animal cruelty like they did with that Russian donkey.

[tincanpub]

@fredfishface not sure who is flagging items as spam?

[fredfishface]

how come you mark certain comments as spam just because you don't like what the person is saying? people are allowed to say what they think. and if they think some "kiwi bird" ad is better then let them. let people be the judge!

[TheAlbertus84]

Check out the teaser under cadbury Ostrich teaser. Very clever with clues

[TheSusie1957]

Brill yet again!

[Esthefaniveds]

ahaha, very good!

[rakkers711]

haha, another great ad. still love the gorilla more tho:-)
