[Coca-Cola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacolas-summer-olympics-campaign): The Wearable Movie is a fun and happy commercial about bringing a smile to people’s faces.

This campaign features non-famous people from various parts of the world smiling and wearing a shirt. The shirt has two little cute characters trying to make a pair of lips smile. Each piece sent around the globe had a graphic of a single frame from the entire movie, with a warming thank-you note sent with each package. All people had to do was take a picture with the shirt and the end product was a [short film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mms-red-one) that combined all the single pictures taken by smiling people. Everyone could post their involvement in the film on their [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-the-fanta-1) page.

The animation on the shirt shows that the lips only smiled when it was given a bottle of Coca-Cola.
