Marking the Chinese Year of the Tiger, as well as affirming the importance of family associated with the Lunar New Year, Hornet's latest film for Coca-Cola is a sweet seasonal treat.

Featuring a family of striped felines and, in particular, the father/son rivalry/bond the sits at its heart, Year of the Tiger plays out in a distinctly Chinese landscape, inspired by the Tianzi Mountain and distinctive topography of Guilin.

Key to the wonder created by the film is the animation style chosen - character designs taking influence from traditional Chinese folklore, illustration, and sculpture and given a tactile, robust feel - which, along with subtleties of touch from director Yves Geleyn that warm the heart (the bottle shifting the camera, in particular) makes for a lovely celebratory piece.
