Cat Food Opium Dream
Yes, it's a cat food commercial, but it's mesmerizing! The colors and images, the weirdly catchy music, the whole "Kitty through the looking glass" motif. The stylization of the turkeys delights me, and the reed fish boat, contrasted with the goldfish that appears in its bowl in the upper foreground.
