Which director and agency are responsible for the cool target
commercial where the animated objects come together and create people
and objects that dance?

Hola Ciniscene,

The 30-second Target spot is titled "Product People" and is the
brainchild/children of the Peterson Milla Hooks Agency in Minneapolis.

Creative Team:

Target "Product People" 
Peterson Milla Hooks/Minneapolis 
Whether it's nail polish, pet supplies, prescriptions or power tools,
they're all available at Target. Fun animation and a pulsing
soundtrack tell us, "Want it. Need It. Got it."

(eeehhhhh, wrong hip-hop breath)

Vocal talent ID'd in the "news" section of the Transcenders website:

"Target's new "Product People" animated spot features music produced
by Transcenders with vocal performances from LA's own Kim Hill and J7
D'Star."
