Dougal Wilson, the director behind classic John Lewis Christmas ads like The Long Wait, Monty the Penguin and Buster the Boxer, has been drafted in to dial up the Christmas magic for Disney this year.
The result is a beautifully crafted three minute film that tells a classic Disney tale about a young boy who encounters an invisible horse. His friends don’t believe him at first, but it all comes good in the end – especially when snowfall reveals the horse to be a reindeer.
The film is being streamed on Disney+ and online, and comes with an awareness and fundraising drive for Disney’s partner charity, the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
It’s a strong film, made extra enjoyable by the soundtrack – an updated version of Oo De Lally from the 1973 Disney classic, Robin Hood.
