The Challenge

Make everyone feel like a kid again

Fifty years of Intertoys means fifty years of wish lists, birthday surprises and afternoons spent dreaming over the toy catalogue. Millions of people grew up imagining what they could build, become or discover with the toys on those pages.

‍

The music needed to capture that feeling. Young, playful and full of possibility, with enough warmth to connect different generations through the same excitement.

The approach

The sound of childhood

Our starting point was the anticipation of play. That moment before you open the box to a new toy, switch on the console or step into a world of your own making.

‍

We wanted the soundtrack to share that energy: upbeat and curious, with a sense of forward motion that carries the campaign through five decades of toys and memories. Nostalgia gives the story its emotional connection to the past; a youthful sound keeps it alive for the children discovering those toys today.

Playfulness

Give the music a light touch and a sense of surprise. Small changes in rhythm and bell like instruments feel like new discoveries.

live Instruments

Record live instruments to capture human warmth and energy, then shape them into a fresh modern sound full of character.

Upbeat

Keep the story moving with an upbeat pulse that matches the excitement of a childhood wish coming true.

The execution

bringing it all together

Across changing toys, eras and memories, the soundtrack gives the film a continuous sense of excitement. The musical energy follows the picture, making room for each moment of recognition while keeping the next discovery within reach. Playful accents bring out the character of individual scenes, while a shared musical thread holds the journey together.

‍

The aim is to make the excitement feel immediate. Whether you recognise a toy from your own childhood or are seeing it for the first time, the music invites you into the same world of possibility
