Fordtacular Spectacular! is Cuppa Coffee’s madcap take on the unbelievable shenanigans at Toronto City Hall lampooning both Mayor Rob Ford and the frenzied “media circus” that surrounds him.

Cuppa Coffee created this new animation frame by frame over a frenzied 2 weeks in our downtown Toronto studios.
Thanks for watching and enjoy.

Morris added “The creative team for Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party
gave us plenty of freedom to weave some innovation into the creative. This was always going to be a spot that had a unique twist to the political message format, synonymous with Cuppa Coffee
