The John Lewis 2016 Christmas advertisement, "Buster
the Boxer," takes joyful emotional scale to new heights and
truly sets the bar for character animation. A group of hand-
animated, photo-real, CG animals jump on a CG trampoline,
including a digital double of the eponymous Buster, all crafted
with pinpoint accuracy.
