We all know the feeling well - It's that one crucial game moment; the unabashedly loud sound that fills the stadium; and the genuine excitement that brings fans together. NFL 'Rally' created by The Mill, Grey and HSI directing duo The Malloys brings together the likes of Jimmy Fallon, Don Cheadle, Britney Spears, The Lego Movie cast, Naval Officers, astronauts and fans around the world for this Super Bowl XLIX spot.

The Mill team led by 2D lead artists Jamie Scott and Nick Tanner added football jerseys to the characters from The Lego Movie, so they would look like true fans. Astronauts were animated to cheer on their team and join the fun being had on Earth, amongst a sky taken from NASA images and projected onto CG planets.
Sometimes the best part of the game is the tense buildup to a winning play.
