Apparently this aired during the Suprebowl, which I didn't watch. For anyone else who may have missed it (like our European friends), this is a great example of cut-out animation:

The style makes me think it was designed by a Russian.

It was probably made with 2D shapes in a 3D program, or else in AfterEffects, using the 3D camera feature, but it could as easily have been done in Moho, of course.

Edit: Boy, was I wrong! Here's the "making of" documentary. http://www.united.com/page/genericpage/1,,51529,00.html

It was made the old-fashioned way. Pretty impressive!

Thanks for the link! I had seen that commercial during the Simpsons, and was going to pull it off my DVR to study it. It is wonderful! Thanks also for the "making of" link!

All hail the ad agency for United Airlines!

They've been keeping 2D animators employed for a few years now!

Thanks United Airline's ad Agency! Keep up the good work!
