Bravo Anomaly London. What a wonderful antidote to all the sickly sweet same-same Christmas joy streaming through the internet right now.
The creative agency has followed its very funny black reimagining of the 12 Days of Christmas from last year, with another – let’s call it, subversive – Christmas story, Dear Satan.
This time, a little girl called Hope makes a terrible typo, that sends her Christmas letter to Satan instead of Santa. And all hell breaks loose. Pretty much literally – Satan becomes nice. Reeeally nice. Wearing yoga pants and friendship bracelets. Being full of words about love and understanding…and eventually working in as gluten-free bakery in Shoreditch.
Until he realises the error.
Then his anger returns. Can’t tell you the ending. Watch every brilliant moment yourself:
The film was written, directed, animated and produced by Anomaly and 7th Flr, with animation direction by Ben White, after a call out to everyone at Anomaly to offer ideas.
