No, they aren’t animated characters. They are human beings who were made to wear body suits. To be specific, they are women theater artists from Mumbai Cape Town. The design of the characters is such that one gets fooled into thinking it is animation.
This was achieved using special material wrinkle free cloth which made the body suites look smooth (like in animation) and the ads were shot at slower than normal frame rate so that the movements look swift but funny. You can also notice that the expressions on the face are static and are changed only between the (shot) cuts.

One of the best cartoon character in recent times. Undoubtedly, Zoozoo has fanfollowers far above par and surely they deserve it as no one can imagine that they are actually the humanbeings.
Hats off to the creator of Zoo. U surely rock…….Hoping to see many more varieties of Zoozoo Vodafone ads in future.
All the very best:)

Awesome work !! Indian commercials are far ahead of those in USA.
Americans should learn something from indian commercial makers. Everyday we see lots of commercials on USA’s national tv which are vague and meaningless. Pitty on them

i m a big fan of these zoozoos ads
when i came to know abt d fact of these ads that there r not animated
but d whole ads are prepared by human beings

i think vodafone co. have to show these ads everyday & also
have 2 keep it up to creat different ads with such beautiful, lovale & cute
cartoons

i have shown that humanbeings with zoozoo mask on final match
so creat more ads
