To debut Kia’s first electric car, the Soul EV, the brand’s beloved hamster characters have been brought back to life, only now they've got female friends.
The 60 second spot from David&Goliath with visual effects from MPC LA, titled Fully Charged, is set to the single Animals from Maroon 5 and made its debut during last week’s MTV Video Music Awards.
In 2013, the hamsters slimmed down and got a sleek new makeover, much like the totally transformed Kia Soul, and the campaign earned nearly 15 million YouTube views.
This year, the hamsters are shown in a lab transforming the gas powered Soul into an electric vehicle. However in the process they manage to transform their pet hamster into a gorgeous female.
