Frédéric Planchon Directs Disney+ Christmas Commercial

Disney+ has kicked off its holiday campaign, ‘A lifetime of great stories’ with a 60-second film directed by Frédéric Planchon and produced by Academy Films in collaboration with VCCP’s content studio, Girl&Bear. The heartwarming film follows the journey of a young girl who first falls in love with “Mickey Mouse at Christmas” and grows up with Disney+ by her side every step of the way. From childhood classics like “Home Alone,” to the college comfort of “Modern Family,” and catching FX’s “The Bear” on her daily commute as an adult. As she becomes a mother, she witnesses her own daughter captivated by the magic of Mickey and friends, passing down the love for Disney+ through the generations.

The Disney+ campaign features a talented team including Emma Quartly as Vice President of Marketing, Lee Parker as Creative Director, and Michael Northern as Senior Manager Production & Creative Operations. VCCP, the advertising agency behind the campaign, is led by Creative Directors Chris Willis and Paul Kocur, along with Managing Partner Victoria Reiz. The production team at Academy, headed by director Frederic Planchon, worked tirelessly to bring this heartwarming story to life, with the edit house Assembly Rooms and post-production company Selected Works ensuring it was a magical experience for viewers.

This festive season Disney+ invites audiences to join in the magic of a lifetime of great stories, making memories that will last beyond the holiday season. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and let Disney+ be your companion through the memorable moments of life.
