2018 Winner
Dairy Farmers of Canada
Mia & Morton
DDB Toronto
GoldCraft - Animation
To showcase the craft that goes into making award-winning Canadian cheese, the Dairy Farmers of Canada tell the touching story of father-daughter team “Mia and Morton.” Set to the backdrop of a rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s Don’t Stop, the Pixar-esque animated film shows Mia helping her father in his factory and encouraging him to enter a cheese competition – sadly, he gets disillusioned after multiple second- and third-place wins. The three-and-a-half-minute video shows her grow up and eventually take charge of the cheese-making factory herself. She convinces her pops to give it a final go at the competition. And, since this is movie magic, the duo of course win.
