Talent imitates, Genius steals

I don’t know how I feel about this; 2 ads exactly the same.

I mean i do, I don’t like it, I think its weak, it shows a complete lack or originality as it completely plagiarises something else. But, at the same time I don’t know if I feel it is 100% wrong. I mean, the idea is nice and the execution is good. Who did theirs first? where did the idea come from in the first place, stop motion isn’t new, so I’m stumped.

Is there anything wrong in taking something that would only have been seen by a small proportion of people and showing it to the masses?

The Olympus one is more emotive than the Land Rover one and the sound track is a lot better. I feel like I’ve heard that Noah and the Whale track everywhere…. eugh!
