"Two Worlds" is a celebration of color and beautiful images that portrays United's effect on international travelers. In it, a weary business traveler leaves a mundane, monotonous black and white world and enters a fantasy of color, representing United's new international first and business class service. When he lands, he is once again in a black and white world, but has brought a bit of the magic of the new United experience with him. The commercial combines two different and distinctive animation styles created by directors SSSR, a Norwegian and Japanese team, who was responsible for the monochromatic world that was mostly computer-generated with a hand-crafted feel, and Gaelle Denis, a French director, who was responsible for the colorful fantasy world that uses using live action, computer generation and matte paintings, including textures such as Japanese rice paper.

Aug 12, 2008 - I'm about as cynical as it gets, but I love the two united ads I've seen during the olympics. The animation is stunningly beautiful and creative. I'd say that this is as close as a commercial will ever get to doing gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue justice. And that's saying alot.

Aug 27, 2008 - My favorite commercial of UA's new campaign. Very creative. BTW - I was thinking of baking some 'brownies' to take along on my next United flight. I'm sure the FA's wouldn't mind j/k. Definitely a 'Alice' theme going here. Peace - JG
