Description

A tech film with no tech, starring lions and tigers and bears. Oh, why? In this 60-second film, Google Android celebrates the adorable, hilarious, and downright bizarre friendships of the animal kingdom. Ducklings cuddle with a matronly kitten. A baby rhino and lamb take a leisurely stroll. A dog and cockatoo conspire to steal a spaghetti dinner. And a tortoise gives a piggyback ride to a...what is that thing, anyway?

Pair after pair of unexpected BFFs snuggle, wrestle, swim and high-dive to the classic Roger Miller tune, “Robin Hood and Lil’ John,” best known as the opening soundtrack of a Disney animated classic that also celebrated unlikely animals becoming friends. As the spot comes to a close, an orangutan executes a far-from-perfect trust fall with his Bluetick hound buddy. And as the cute overload subsides, we learn the meaning of it all with Android’s simple, important motto: “be together. not the same.”
