Okay, it's less of a show and actually a commercial for Volkswagen.  So by posting it and replaying it here (yes, another YouTube vid--apparently that's the unifying theme today), I'm cognizant that I'm just shrilling for a large car company.  However, that aside, I'm still awed by the creativity and the execution of this video that involves hand puppetry which is also rorschach-esque.

The commercial isn't going to get people to buy the car (VW Phaeton) and so in that sense, it's a terrible commercial (if you look at Ad Age's rankings of most impressionable commercials, it's generally the incredibly crude ones that just pound the viewers with a simple message over and over again--Dial down the center, anyone?), but for artistic merit and originality, I'm sure this VW ad will pick up some industry awards.
