WTTW / WFMT Holiday ‘23—Animated Short

 

Wishing Chicago a warm and wild holiday.

Beyond delighted to team-up with WTTW and WFMT on another holiday message! Hot off our shared Emmy win, our trusted collaborators at WTTW tasked us with creating a new 2023 holiday short—this time, with a nod to the wild side of Chicago.

Despite being a major metropolitan area, the city has pretty diverse wildlife. Plenty of animals call Chicago home, some are just very good at hiding in plain sight. With that spark of inspiration, we explored Chicago’s sights and critters, and played our own crafty game of hide-and-seek in this year’s holiday animation. Chicago’s reputation for less than postcard-perfect winter weather, we had a blast capturing iconic sights and sensations of the holiday season in Chicago. Because, sure, the weather might be frightful, but there’s nowhere else we’d rather be.
