Happy Hippo
Cuddly Chocolate Hippo
This concept was inspired by our taste buds. Colorbleed was commissioned to redesign the Happy Hippo character and bring it to life in 3D. Starting with the illustration that playfully invites you from the sweet packaging, our artists set to work on creating the character for this commercial. The team crafted a production-ready model that was animated and integrated into the live-action commercial, resulting in delightfully cuddly outcomes while preserving the artistic lines of the original.
