Zanita Films has produced 6 x 30' animated commercials for BC Dairy Canada, directed by Ruairi Robinson.

'T Rex' 60' is also being screened in cinemas in Vancouver since April 1st.

The new campaign tells the story of a caveman who is NOT a survivor. In each story, an unfortunate caveman meets his demise when he makes a poor food or beverage choice.
