Apple’s Holiday Film, ‘A Critter Carol’

Apple annual holiday film is here:

In this handcrafted film, a ragtag group of woodland critters discover a lost iPhone 17 Pro and use it to film themselves singing a song of friendship as a gift, before returning it to its rightful owner.

Shot on iPhone 17 Pro, the spot features puppets instead of people and is more whimsical than Apple’s usual tear-jerkers. It’s inspired by the Flight of the Conchords song “Friends,” maintaining much of the original’s quirkiness while avoiding some of the more, uh, colorful lyrics.

Also: The Making Of… video, which is equally delightful.
