It hasn’t been the most enjoyable week for news from Hollywood, so if you need to head into the weekend with a smile, this Michel Gondry directed ad for U.K. retailer John Lewis will do the trick.
Riffing pretty hard on “Where The Wild Things Are” (to the point where I think the Maurice Sendak estate might have a case), the charming promo follows a young boy, who befriends the monster under his bed, playing with him all night long. However, it means that he’s not getting enough sleep, until the monster leaves something under the tree, that will help his pal finally get some rest.
It’s a lovely confection, wrapped up in a bow with a cover of The Beatles‘ “Golden Slumbers” by Elbow.
