When Animals Harmonize

Fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly, and in a holiday spot from BBDO in New York, they gotta sing, too, with some assistance from Los Angeles production studio Rhythm & Hues.

In the ad for Visa and Petsmart, which broke last week, a pet goldfish, parrot and dog sing the Showboat tune “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man of Mine,” with its famous animal references, as their owner buys them gifts online. The spot’s announcer is played by a cat.

All the animals are real—with digitally created expressions and mouth movements—except for the fish.
