Made me think of the classic Run DMZ video.

  The one that came to my mind (am I the only one?) is John and Faith Hubley’s classic animated short “The Hat”.

Also, that music was used as the theme for Barry Lyndon.

I saw this during the Super Bowl and wondered if the ad people at Coke had been reading Bastiat.

  I hadn’t notice, but you are right. It’s there.
  
  It might make sense if it takes place in a universe similar to Brazil or a Wes Anderson movie.
