Yesterday, I was scrolling my Twitter feed and I came across a tweet by @Gawker.
The tweet read:
“This Christmas commercial about a boy and his penguin is making everyone cry.”
I love penguins and always wanted one. I had several stuffed animal penguins when I was a kid. I used to draw pictures of penguins too. Now, that I’m older my obsession has moved on to bulldogs. But, penguins will always have a special place in my heart.
About the video
It’s a commercial advertisement for John Lewis which is a British department store chain.
Monty and Mabel are the CGI created penguins. But even though they technically aren’t real that hasn’t stopped me from being leaky eyes every time I watch the video.
The theme song is sung by British singer/songwriter Tom Odell and it’s a cover of John Lennon’s “Real Love.” I did listen to the original and loved it as well.
Want more of Monty the penguin? Then visit Monty’s Christmas.
The website has some cute interactive activities and of course there’s that video again that makes me cry.
Click here for Monty’s merchandise, because remember this video is an advertisement.
