Cartoon character Jimmy Neutron and his buddies have fun with a sci-fi gadget called a “Photon Dimensionalizer” (which is also the title of this spot). Jimmy zaps a cartoon squirrel and it comes alive as a dimensional being. Next to be zapped is a Town & Country van parked in a home’s driveway�transforming the vehicle from flat animation to the van in all its real-world splendor with Jimmy, his pals and the squirrel going inside for a tour of the luxurious interior.

The Best Work You May Never See: Steve Rogers Directs Christmas Spot For Telstra Starring A Singing Donkey
Directed by Steve Rogers via production house Revolver, this 90-second Christmas film for Aussie telecommunications company Telstra--created by agency Bear Meets Eagle On Fire in tandem with +61--tells the story of an accidental singing superstar, Little Donkey, who goes on a whirlwind tour across the world. But eventually stardom isn't all it's cracked up to be as Little Donkey misses its family at holiday time.
“We wanted to tell a Christmas story without falling into the holiday cliches. Hopefully the heart of this rings true and people get a bit of giggle along the way,” said Micah Walker, chief creative officer at Bear Meets Eagle On Fire.
Blake Crosbie, managing director of +61, said, “It’s a charming story that is so true of Christmas and so naturally adds to our brand idea ‘Wherever We Go’.”
