I know.  Apparently one of our recent fairy-tale successes was filmed with 
raccoons 'cos the dumb colonials can't be bothered to work out what a badger is.
 
But the Audi commercial is _superb_.  The fun bit starts _after_ the car stops 
in front of the hedgehog, when the world inverts.  The leaf (butterfly, say 
some) falls off the hedgehog's back - the hedgehog looks up (down?) in alarm 
and drops like a stone, and the A4 stays where it is.
