We’re fairly sure that as soon as concepts for Christmas campaigns start coming together, there’s a mad dash to find a festive tune that hasn’t been done to death in seasonal spots.
And we’re equally sure that Tonight, Tonight by The Smashing Pumpkins isn’t usually a front-runner.
However, for Bear Meets Eagle On Fire and +61’s latest chapter of Telstra’s Together is for Christmas campaign, the track couldn’t be more perfect, as the film follows a young goth girl who finds a spooky pal for the holidays.
Directed by Steve Rogers through Revolver, in his first-ever animated project, with visuals created in partnership with animation company Mathematic, this gorgeously crafted tale has a rare distinction among this year’s spots – we actually want a longer cut!

Alita McMenamin, Telstra Head of Brand and Marketing Communications, said: “At its heart, this campaign is about connection: the kind that transcends distance, differences, and even tradition. It’s about finding your people, whoever and wherever they are, and celebrating the joy of being together.
"As a 90’s music lover the track works so perfectly with the gorgeous story.”
“We just wanted to create a story with a genuine Christmas soul, without leaning on all the expected tropes,” adds Micah Walker, Chief Creative Officer of BMEOF. “Massive thanks to Steve, Revolver and the Mathematic team who’ve put so much into the beautiful film.”
