I cried so much with this commercial 😭😭😭 It's true time flies and there's lost time. We ignore our loved ones and sometimes is too late.

Lol

[@sylveonthefairymaster8314]

To add on to that, in this Chick-Fil-A article (thechickenwire.chick-fil-a.com/News/Chick-fil-A-Creates-Virtual-and-Brick-and-Mortar-Time-Shop-Experiences), there are actually MORE than three types of time. Three more have been revealed: Storytime, playtime, and snacktime.

[@DoofenSpyroDragon16]

I didn’t even think of the meaning of those, I just thought it was a fun gag. Nice that they put that much thought into it!! Makes me love it even more!! 😃

[@DoofenSpyroDragon16]

There’s MORE TYPES??? Dang I love the lore of this series!! 😃😃😃

[@DoofenSpyroDragon16]

Aw, man, the website’s not available anymore. Guess I’m too late.

[@jdc4jc]

Way to go Chickfila for doing storytelling that captures what matters most and doesn’t sell.

[@cordyceps7531]

Yah, they really could’ve dropped the ball if they went the political route.

[@theredguardowen8083]

This actually could be a movie I feel, something like “The time shop” that could be about how people waste time and how they could easily be doing more memorable things that will have more of a positive impact on the people around them.

[@Northpandaplays]

So true..!

[@wendyc8549]

Would totally love this movie

[@chairmanm3ow]

The movie was called Click.

[@DoofenSpyroDragon16]

@theredguard they’re actually expanding on the lore of the Evergreen Hills series in their newer animations. The first recent one, Sam, when she’s older, rediscovers the time shop and helps people out with a special snow globe that can see what they’re going through (it’s really cool! I won’t give too much away.) the newest one expands on the lord even further and introduces the titular Evergreen Hills Forest, which is a magical forest that thrives on kindness. I love this series!! 😃😃

[@clampfan101]

Dang! This looks like a freakin Pixar short! :D

[@dpinson6340]

This was so meaningful. I love it. I noticed on the door it says Closed Sunday.

[@user-zl6ps4rp9g]

He probably needed to get to his own family that day.

[@lydiaapollo9802]

Chick-fil-a is always closed on Sundays so that the employees can be home with their families. They will not be open on Christmas Day, Thanksgiving, and other major holidays for the same reason.

Kirk I seen this while watching Rudolph. And what a commercial. Such a short little movie like . A great message. Reminded me my daughter and she wanted to go sled and I kept saying I needed get things done before work. Finally I said ok I'm gonna sled with my girl. She growing up so fast anyhow. We had a blast. She's youngest of 5 . And I'm getting old. Lol. I paid for it the next day but it was worth it. Merry Christmas.

[@djtrump4101]

Because it wasn't made by a leftard in Hollyweird.

[@tranquillrainbows9493]

True but I guess it is because they do the message but faster so if you see a movie you may feel you're on that to long of an adventure but when you see a short film it's kinda straight forward and not everyone may understand a movie so yeah

[@reecesdippedpretzels1514]

[@mrkrabswith100ksubscribers2]

Did they partner with Pixar or something?The animation is astounding!I want to see a full feature with this animation

[@theskydivisions9785]

Mr Krabs with 100k subscribers heck yes😁

[@Mr_Movie_Fan]

There's an animation software (that's free) called Blendr, and the founder of it claims it has all the stuff that Pixar has.

[@sun_beams]

@@Mr_Movie_Fan blender wasn't used at all on this, nor does blender have the tools that Pixar has developed over their 30ish years in existence. It is however pretty cool and an awesome entry point into 3D! Also the studio that worked on this was Psyop in NY.

[@natalies7485]

[@MC-rc4iu]

Wonderful animation and overall production. The emotive music score, the high quality VO characterizations, and the even the depth of field (focus and the near and far field blurs) in each frame create a real world feeling. Bravo on the Christmas-time "too busy family" theme as well. Excellent job!

[@lq6491]

What an amazing commercial, and message of together time with your loved ones no matter who you are! This is the true reason for the season. Being with loved ones. Not present jewelry, cars, tech. This is the true reason time! Thank you!

[@DoofenSpyroDragon16]

And of course Jesus’s birth. 🥰

[@lunarsun2655]

Chick-fil-a should be the people making movies if this is the kind of quality stories they create

[@DoofenSpyroDragon16]

Agreed!! They’ve actually made this a mini series of shorts they release yearly. It even expands on the lore of the evergreen hills and the time shop. It’s so cool!!

[@davidelias13]

This is the best commercial I have seen in my life. I thought it was a Disney movie commercial. I thought nobody is going to spend the money to make a 2-minute commercial other than for a movie. And of course the graphics, such high quality I thought only for a movie. Wow! Merry Christmas Chick-fil-A!

[@jac4738]

Any company that goes out of their way to produce an ad like this that not only has little to nothing to do with their product but is also this beautiful is just amazing and deserves props

[@AlwaysDr3aming]

As of late I have been astounded by how much people are addicted to technology, myself included. It is nice to see that someone is spreading the message that we need to spend less time on our phones and more time with family. We love you, Chick-fil-A!

[@AlwaysDr3aming]

​@Demiclea Can we just enjoy the commercial please? I'm not in the mood to talk about politics with people.

[@AlwaysDr3aming]

Demiclea I don’t hate people because of their beliefs, nor do I necessarily want to silence anyone from expressing them. It just seems like the controversy and all of the things going on nowadays is so repetitive that it gets tiring after a while.

We sell time to help build relationships through the game of golf. Glad to see others agree as to its importance. Congratulations to Chick-Fil-A!!!

[@weirdbunmi]

As much as I appreciate the message in this short, the most prominent feeling I had when watching this was worry. This was eerily similar to Coraline, so I fully expected her to have to fight off attempts to give her glass eyes or something. Other than that, this was cute and well animated.

[@GolfTheSimpleTruth]

Bravo! Hands down the BEST Christmas ad of the year! Make this go viral. The #1 gift this year, EVERY year, is to give the easiest gift of all...YOUR time! Tell the boss. Put down the phone. Get off social media. AND PAY ATTENTION TO THOSE YOU LOVE AND EVEN MAKE A NEW FRIEND OR TWO! And I completely agree with others...Chick Fil A hit a grand slam with this one and needs to be made in to a movie! Merry Christmas everyone...and remember we will ALWAYS be closed on Sundays because only our hearts are open for business!

May God bless Chick Fil A for striving to remind people about the gift of valuing family and friends. Thanksgiving is a time to give God thanks for the blessings of family and Christmas reminds us of the Advent of Christ and heaven’s love for the people of Earth. This commercial had me in tears. It reminds me of CS Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.
