Animals Lip-Synching Christmas Songs Edit
BBC “Do One Thing” Campaign

The BBC recruited The Viral Factory to create this endearing and meaningful animal Christmas video directed towards both adults and kids. The clip shows a band of fun British animals singing through Photoshopped mouths and playing instruments.

The critters’ Christmas wish to have, “Breathing places, space to roam, somewhere that I can call a home,” is sung in the lyrics. The message is moving and thought-provoking but done in a light enough way that children will get it.

The fox at the end directs viewers to the BBC Learning ‘Do One Thing’ web site which offers nature-preserving tips, such as baking lard cakes for the birds and burying a bucket for a beetle.

The lyrics were rewritten to the Jonah Lewie Christmas classic “Stop the Cavalry.”
