DDB New Zealand went all out when promoting the film "knocked up" to air on Sky. First, creative team Christie Cooper and James Conner collected tadpoles, lots and lots of them. Then they converted a poster-stand into a fish tank. They put a model of an unfertilized egg in the center of the tank, and filled it with fish food that the tadpoles would naturally want. They hung the complete installation in a shopping mall. Super adgrunts can also see a film of the fish-tank build and end result inside.

I can't help but totally love this. Even though I feel sorry for the tadpoles. ;)

I loved that part in the movie toward the end, where everyone mutated into giant toads.

brilliant .... but I agree with you Dabitch no one asked the live tadpoles if they want to be part of the ad! I wonder what WWF feels about it
