Does anybody know who is responsible for Chevron's new "talking car" spot?
It's great!

Scott,
If it's the claymation-looking one using stop motion photography instead
of computer animation I believe it is done by Aardman Animations. They have
done some neat stuff that was shown in Animation Film Festivals these last
several years. There is an Aardman video out called 'Creature Comforts' (1991)
that is pretty fun to watch.
The video should be available through this company:
Expanded Entertainment
PO Box 25547
Los Angeles, CA 90025
They say you can write to them for a free catalog. This address may be
outdated but was valid as of 1992 FWIW.

Have you seen "Wrong Trousers"? Another fun one.

The amazing thing is that it is done with very subtle movements and
expressions. Unlike a person or a dog (Argh… what were their names?), the
penguin has very few physical features that can be used to express emotion.

Or almost no movements at all. The lack of expression gave you the impression
that the penguin was very kind and well mannered. It wasn't until he pulled out
the gun that your whole impression changed.
The other animation where they go to the moon in search of cheese was
fantastic. The concepts were so simple yet so well executed. Traditional model
animation like "Tim Burton's Christmas Nightmare" are truely amazing works. I
think we(computer animators) have it easy compared to those guys!

Thanks, Kevin! I'll check into it.
