Space Monkey

Space Monkey from Leo Burnett on Vimeo.

Leo Burnett Sydney and director Steve Rogers have created a moving new film for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), which tells the story of an original space monkey who returns to Earth after being lost in space for decades. The film features a new music track by musician Ben Lee called ‘Song for the Divine Mother of the Universe’, and ‘Space Monkey’ will air as both a music video to launch the single, and a long format cinema spot. During the 1960s, monkeys were sent into outer space as part of the US space exploration program. But they didn’t all return, until now.
