To highlight the benefits of the Astra’s reverse parking camera, Vauxhall has released a clever animated campaign that tells fairy tales backwards.

Three classic children's stories - Jack & The Beanstalk, Cinderella and The Ugly Duckling - get the reverse treatment; each film sees its eponymous character start with the traditional happy ending, then work their way back to humble and infinitely more miserable beginnings.

Tied together by the tagline: "When you go backwards, things don't always work out for the best", the three spots were created by McCann Worldgroup's dedicated Vauxhall agency, Velocity and MRM Madrid, in collaboration with animators from around the world

Each film was briefed to a different animation house, with Coffee & TV in London retelling Jack & The Beanstalk, Mach Studio in Madrid working on The Ugly Duckling and Vetor Zero/LOBO in Brazil putting a depressing spin on Cinderella.
