G’day, the short film (2022) | Official Film | Tourism Australia
From the country that brought you the Sydney Opera House, the world's best coffee and wombats, comes this year's most anticipated release: G'day, the short film.
When they meet in a gift shop on The Great Barrier Reef, souvenir kangaroo Ruby (Rose Byrne) and toy unicorn Louie (Will Arnett) form an unlikely friendship.
Watch as Ruby takes Louie on an amazing adventure around Australia, visiting iconic sites, including Melbourne's laneways and stunning natural landscapes such as Nitmiluk Gorge.
They'll discover new experiences, connect with Indigenous cultures, and, along the way, learn the true meaning of an Aussie welcome.
With lighting by the Aussie Sun, set design by the Land Down Under, and produced in association with ridiculously friendly locals, G'day, the short film will have you convinced there's nothing like Australia.
Directed by Michael Gracey
Starring Rose Byrne, Will Arnett
Featuring Nakkiah Lui, Hamish Blake, and Andy Lee
In this video, Ruby and Louie say G'day to:

1:52 Green Island, QLD

This is by far one of the my favorite ads Ive ever gotten on youtube. One of my biggest problems with advertising today is the fact that many ads feel forced. However, Tourism Australia did a stellar job at making this feel natural, witty, and cohesive. Hats off and G’day from an American who can’t wait to visit🎩

One of the very few times when I actually watched an entire ad and searched for the same to watch it again and like it as well. I really appreciate the effort of the team put behind this, a rare example of quality animation going hand in hand with amazing videography and storytelling to create something really beautiful which actually transcends the boundary of what a mere ad is capable of doing.

As an Aussie I have to say that this is the best tourism ad from Australia I have seen. Have been a fan of Rose Byrne ever since she acted in Two Hands with the late Heath Ledger. Hopefully it has an impact on tourism recovering from the negative effects the pandemic had on the tourism industry. So many towns and people rely on it to make a living throughout Australia. If you're planning a holiday overseas, come down under. There are so many great places to visit, it is well worth it.

I do hope we get to see more of Louie and Ruby in the future. There should be more short films like this.

I literally just watched a lengthy ad and was in tears by the end. I want to go to Australia!!!
Polish dude interested in Australia here, this video is beautifully done, it doesn't even feel like an add. 10/10 would watch again
When I first came across this, I was about to skip it because I’m not an advocate of watching ads all the way through. But curiosity got the best of me, so I continued. And I’m not even kidding, I nearly broke into tears. This is a rare case in KZread that an ad actually has a special charm to it rather than those annoying mobile game ads. I even forgot that this was for Australia Tourism. If this was made into a full-length movie, I would watch all of it, no joke. Anyways, good job Tourism Australia. This is a masterpiece 100/10 quality, would convince me to visit Australia. 😀👍

There was a time, when commercials were pleasant to watch. When it was not trying to force an ad down your throat, not using a cheap joke or pun. When it was just making something that was enjoyable. Something people would say "Oh quick, its on!" But now, now its just soulless husks. Its good to see people bringing this back.
