Ads We Love: Pac-Man Puppet Show

Gametap AdSome of the best-loved TV ads can hold their own as short films, with compelling characters, surprising twists, emotional resonance ... and maybe a mariachi band. For example: Pac-Man Puppet Show, an exceedingly endearing ad, which may well be the sweetest spot we highlighted at TED2006. Created for Gametap by Mullen (Wenham, MA), and filmed on location in Tijuana, Mexico.
