Gocciole

Elephants and jungle make the setting for this comedic Italian spot

Gocciole is an Italian breakfast snack from Barilla. Around this product Barilla created a world in which a Tarzan-like character and his family wake up every morning in their jungle to face a new and quirky adventure.  This time the animals go on strike and nothing moves in the jungle economy. Not even the elephants want to do their job. It is good thing that Tarzan has his Gocciole to get his day started.

We found a great jungle location in Krabi (a 1.5h flight from Bangkok) where we could build the jungle family’s home. Getting the elephants was no problem. To stick to the ambience of the story line we needed some other animals though, African animals – fortunately Thailand has quite a variety to offer. Ostriches were the final choice and while the animals picketed, we went to work.
