Fantastic! It looks like they're real hamsters as well, just chewing etc the instruments? (Rather than cgi etc) so double bonus.. Very funny, loved it.

Love it.

They're missing a trombone player though!

I love this so much, the accompanying website is fab too - check out the auditions!
They put food on the instruments so the rodents would nibble on them, it took a full day filming to complete.

Great production. But reminds me of this...

I once had a hamster. Called sausage. He eventually exploded. Mint.

They've stopped with the puns!

I love the idea. Trouble is I can't help wondering how they hit those notes without actually using the keys on the instruments. Yes, I know, I shouldn't be so pedantic!

Great idea for the ad - original, and fits perfectly with the brand's tagline, without being too clever or trying to do too much. It engages the viewer right from the start, and the 'cute' factor definitely catches your attention in the first place!
