‘Wishes’, for Panda Express, produced by Passion Pictures (US) and Passion Paris in collaboration with agency Opinionated. Directed by Slimane Aniss.
A bold, hand-crafted animated short celebrating Lunar New Year through family, food and the thrill of making a wish produced in the Passion Paris Studio. Set in the electric energy of San Francisco’s Chinatown, the film leans into anime-inspired storytelling with dynamic 2D animation, cinematic scale and big emotional beats. Every frame is lovingly detailed with characters and community moments that reinforce Panda Express’ core belief that food is the ultimate expression of love.
