Unloved



When a young man receives a Christmas gift that he doesn't like, it's time for a story. And it's a beautifully animated story about a wolf -the very first wolf- who finds he has no friends. Like the description says, "It's not easy to make friends when you eat them." Can this poor wolf change his life in such a way as to make the other animals tolerate him, or at least stop fleeing in fear? He gets some helpful advice from a hedgehog and other animals along the way. 

"Unloved" is an ad for the French grocery store chain Intermarché from the studio Romance Agency. You won't mind that, because the actual advertising is only a few seconds at the end. You won't mind it being in French, either, because there are subtitles for the scant dialogue. However, the focus is still food, and that comes across as very French as well. (via Metafilter
