Description:
“Every Smile Tells A Story” (Prime Video brand positioning) was the funding to develop this storytelling.
If Prime Video is a brand that tells stories, why not telling one ourselves? That’s why we created this modern Christmas tale : the story of an unlikely friendship between two misfits forged through a shared love for entertainment.
Hattie : a bullied hyena who can’t smile, and Carl : a grumpy zookeeper who can’t find any reasons to smile. Both overcome their awkwardness with a little bit of help from Prime Video.
The story of a lost smile to make everyone smile.
