Kirby’s Epic Explosion for Nintendo’s Kirby’s Epic Yarn is live action and animated adventure that follows Kirby as he faces down his attackers on the streets of Anywhere USA. Created for Leo Burnett by Superfad, the spot is rapid-fire action of the cuddly sort as Kirby, recreated in fuzzy 3D yarn, spins into a tank and sends out mighty blasts that transform the live action buildings into a colorful, cloth covered street.
