It looks like Adobe made it (or commissioned it) as an advertising piece for the CS3 suite
EDIT: a quick google reveals the piece was made by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners and Mike Kellog, and it is not entirely Adobe software, but also Cinema 4D
Concept & Art Direction - Goodby Silverstein & Partners
Joker (the guy at the end) and Card Illustrations - John Craig
Flash, 3D Animation & Design - Mike Kellogg
Sound Design - Flip Baber
