Just to put the record straight, it was designed to drum up interest in the 2009 Creative Circle annual (which as usual is just a tad late).

The 2010 call for entries, show and annual has a 'Nautical but Nice' theme masterminded by the new Creative Circle President Sir Trevor Beattie.

Brilliant, pure genius - you'd have to run this frame by frame to try & get all the references.

@ Mark Denton esquire - Oops - thanks Mark. I've tweaked the post accordingly. The film is a big hit here at CR towers - our hats are doffed in the direction of COY! Communications and also of A Large Evil Corporation.

We'd love to see the new Nautical but Nice call for entries work btw...

'Nautical but Nice' sounds reminiscent - reminds one of chocolates with runny bottoms...
