To celebrate RSPCA Awareness Week (Oct 1 - 8), the RSPCA has launched a digitally restored version of its most famous television advertisement - Animal Walk.

From the biggest elephant to the smallest wombat, the iconic production from the RSPCA will amble back onto television screens over the coming weeks.

Created 21 years ago, Animal Walk was the first brand ad of its kind in Australia and remains one of the most recgonised advertisements ever made in this country.

The production not only introduced Australians to their favourite little bandaged wombat but it was actually responsible for coining the RSPCA's slogan: For all creatures great and small. The wombat went on to become the RSPCA's much-loved mascot.

The RSPCA gets so many calls from people wanting to see the Animal Walk ad back on TV. It so simply and beautifully encapsulates our work for all creatures great and small.

Digitally re-mastering Animal Walk was a huge job and was done free of charge for the RSPCA. The RSPCA thanks our long time supporters Enigma Communications as well as The Lab in Sydney and Original Works for bringing this project to fruition.
