Happy Kingdom
Built atop the repertoire of his work with Passion Pictures for the Gorillaz, director Pete Candelands buzz reached a fever pitch with the indelible Rock Band cinematic for The Beatles. In Happy Kingdom for Coke Zero, Candeland delivers the goods again and lines the court with a rich cast of characters plucked straight from medieval times. Chock-full of pizazz, Happy Kingdom is a spectacle a dazzling array of eye-candy that embodies the directors flair for extravagance and lavish aesthetics into an eclectic parody of fairy-tale clich鳮
