This article talks about the making of the Mercedes commercial featuring the tortoise and the hare. Which just so happened to be made by the guy who directed Maleficent. The director, Robert Stromberg says that he was up for the challenge of building this new commercial and liked that it was different from what Mercedes usually does. He states that the hardest part was the animals, because they were humanesque he had to fit alot of expressions and personality into a short period of time. And the other big challenge was trying to works with Oregon's uncooperative forests. The reason for this commercial even existing is because Mercedes wanted to do something different during the Superbowl to grab everyones attention.
So the tortoise and hare Mercedes commercial was made by the guy who directed Maleficent. Yup that commercial where the tortoise drives the car to win the race was made by him. Quite a different tone that this commercial sets from that movie, but I liked it. It was cool to see something different like tha during the superbowl but I also found it odd that they tried to hype it up. I've seriously never seen a commercial being hyped up before this......
