New kind of commercial

[Janet Harrington]

Since I have more time in the evenings, I watch TV.  I have noticed a new kind of commercial.  These commercials are of an animated type, like a clay commercial.  The participants look to be animated but not of a carftoon quality type.  Has anyone else seen these commercials?  One commercial is about a woman who wants to give the dog a bath and the dog doesn't want a bath, but she coaxes him down from the roof with a bacon snack.

Anyway, I'm wondering what these kind of commercials are called??
