Coca-Cola, which channeled World of Warcraft {link no longer active} and Grand Theft Auto {link no longer active} for ads in the past, seems to be drawing from the game well again. The look for a recent ad promoting its Fanta brand features characters that look as if they walked out of a Nintendo Wii. The computer animated spot has an art style noticeably similar to the Mii avatars users create for Wii. The premise might as well be a poolside party where the Miis get crazy (maybe held at someone’s PlayStation Home).
The comedy premise involving mime dancing and techno music may not relate to everyone Stateside, but the art style makes the ad stand out.
Watch it at ADVERTOLOG. If you have trouble streaming, download the QuickTime version of the ad at the same link.
