But as Matilda grows older, Christmas is less magical for her and therefore she gradually loses Iggy.<\/p>\n<p>The invisible friend ends up in a closet while Matilda goes out to celebrate Christmas with her friends. In a McDonald&#8217;s restaurant, presence as a child feels the typical illusion of these holidays. This awakens in Matilda the memory of Iggy, who returns to look for him.<\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>Chaka Sobhani<\/strong>, Leo Burnett&#8217;s Global Creative Director: <em>\u201cThere is a beautiful change in the tone of the music when Matilda opens her closet when she is older and lets Iggy out. Our hope is that the campaign will be attractive to as many people as possible, from parents to children and from young to old. And above all, we hope that in one way or another the campaign has captured the spirit of Christmas.
