The specialty toy retailer Toys “R” Us is making history with the release of its first-ever brand film, created using the not-yet-publicly-released “Sora” text-to-video tool from OpenAI. This innovative tool allows for the generation of up to one-minute-long videos that feature realistic scenes and multiple characters, based entirely on typed-in instructions. The brand film, titled ‘Origin of Toys “R” Us,’ tells the story of the company’s founder, Charles Lazarus, with an imaginative twist featuring the beloved mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe appearing to him in a dream. The film was co-produced by Toys “R” Us Studios president Kim Miller Olko and directed by Native Foreign’s Nik Kleverov. The film premiered at the 2024 Cannes Lions Festival, drawing attention from industry leaders in branding and advertising. Toys “R” Us aims to honor Lazarus’s visionary legacy by embracing cutting-edge technology to connect emotionally with consumers and evoke nostalgia in a unique and innovative manner.
