The annual event of the John Lewis Christmas advert has arrived. After a mysterious campaign, viewers all over the world have finally met Moz the Monster.
The department store has focused their 2017 Christmas campaign on a cuddly, snoring creature called Moz, who lives under a little boy’s bed. Viewers have been quick to give their take on the tale of Joe and his imaginary friend. Watch it here and make up your own mind:
The John Lewis Christmas campaigns aim to get bigger and better each year. This time the department store has spent a monster budget of £7million for a cute film directed by Oscar winner Michel Gondry with rock band Elbow covering a classic Beatles track Golden Slumbers as the soundtrack.
Craig Inglis, customer director of John Lewis, said: “This year’s Christmas campaign brings to life the power of children’s imaginations and the joy of great friendships. Moz and Joe’s story is magical and heartwarming and I’m sure it will be loved by all of our customers, young and old.”
