Adopt a Polar Pal — a snowman hugs you.
Adopt a Polar Pal puts a friendly snowman next to you and has it pull you into a hug. The sample opens on a close selfie: a man wearing a big, round, fluffy green headpiece, a white tank top and stacked gold chains, holding up a peace sign with ringed fingers.
The sample
What happens in the Adopt a Polar Pal sample.
The sample opens as a tilted selfie, the man's arm stretched toward the camera. By the third frame the view has pulled back: he stands on snowy ground in front of a concrete wall, and a tall snowman appears beside him. It has a carrot nose, a wide smile, a red band on its head and a spiky green top. The snowman leans in, wraps both arms around his shoulders and holds him close. He laughs and tucks his head against its cheek while snowflakes drift down.
His green headpiece, tank top, brown sleeves and chains stay the same from the selfie to the hug. The setting changes from a plain wall to snow on the ground, and the camera moves from a close selfie to a wider shot. The pal in this sample is a snowman, not an animal. Because it starts from a close, front-facing selfie, a clear photo of your face and shoulders is the safe start.
