zoozoo's updated now its parrot

After taking the nation by storm last year, the cute ?Zoozoos? in Vodafone?s ad are slowly losing out on their novelty factor leading to the introduction of an animated parrot in the telecom giant?s latest commercials.

"When the Zoozoos were introduced, they were something out of the world.
The simple, innocent and funny acts of the alien-like white, egg-headed creatures with balloon bodies created a phenomenon in the Indian advertising industry.

Besides securing a number of awards, the adorable ?Zoozoos? quickly went on to become a darling of both the consumers and the advertising fraternity.

With more than six lakh fans on social networking site Facebook and lakhs of views on YouTube, their popularity, however, has failed to take a dip ever since they invaded television screens during the 2009 IPL matches.

But in the latest series of advertisements promoting its offering of a bonus card of Rs 4, Vodafone chose to create an animated parrot with actor Boman Irani?s voice-over.
