Amazon Prime goes straight for the cute jugular with this new ad involving a mini horse who can’t quite seem to make friends. The ad is by Joint London and directed by Kevin Thomas at Thomas Thomas Films. It’s the third film for Amazon Prime by the agency, with the others involving stories like one about an injured dog being unable to play with the other dogs.
Some immediate questions
What kind of horse is that: it’s most probably Acer, a mini horse with dwarfism that lives in Corringham, England:
One thing that is somewhat accurate with the commercial, is that he doesn’t have a lot of horse friends. This isn’t because they don’t like him due to his differences, but more because he’s forbidden to be around the adult horses due to the fear that he might get hurt. Yet, this doesn’t stop him from making friends with other animals. As the video shows, he has a best friend named Demon, who is the owner’s black Labrador. His owner, Maureen O’Sullivan, believes that because they are both relatively the same size they get along great, in fact, they get along so well that she claims most the time Acer believes he’s more of a dog than a horse.
