I'm no film expert but their use of color in those ads is actually incredible at capturing the feeling of the animated ones
@Trynamo
Fun fact: The reason she has so many knives is because they ARE 1 use. In game every tool is a one use item. Use a rake once and it disintegrates.
@abbyphay
I love how Danny didn’t notice she baked a file into the pie, implying that she was preparing for prison, and her granddaughter brought the pie to her.
@tylerblack3962
The fact that someone actually had to make the grandma decoy for the ads is impressive, and terrifying
@mcnasty
also how did they get Kathy Bates to play the grandma? literally an A-list actress.
@nottherealendie
The Merge Mansion team just realized that they're better at making films than they are at games. I expect Lilly's Garden full length live action film by next month.
@amadeosonier5995
kathy bates won an oscar for misery in which she portrayed one of the most terrifying film villains to date and now she's the grandma in merge mansion
@jaimelourne371
"Grandma wait!" "No." Idk why, but I absolutely lost it at that exchange.
@boxedpain
Honestly I'm just happy for Kathy Bates, she looks like she's having so much fun in these ads
@emoscotchtape
I feel like if they turned into a movie studio they'd do 10x better
@allyrose8405
Everybody asks what’s grandma hiding? But no one ever asks why’s grandma hiding?
@Trinity_505
Lights, color, art department and casting are on point. The girl’s silhouette looks like the typical character from these games
@maddycutts5000
danny’s recreation to how raunchy the secret passageways could get genuinely killed me
@isadoralopes8771
At some point I caved in and downloaded the app and the knives thing is actually kind of a clever joke. In the game you have to merge low value objects to make better ones, and as far as I remember the knives are one of the low value ones. So you begin the game with a whole buch of knives that you have to pair up until you end up with a rake or something more useful.
@universesixteen
Danny I hate you for missing the fact she PUT A FILE IN THE BOWL WHILE SHE WAS BAKING so when she was brought the pie she could use it to break out of jail. It's genius
@teaonwednesday
Grandma isn’t a murderer, she’s just a master chef Those papers she was burning was her secret recipe. She wasn’t burying a body, just planting… spices? That wasn’t blood on her, just jam.
@angellynn7104
The second live action ad is such a great concept for a parody horror movie oh my god. Where no matter where you go, it's always a hand-knitted replica, and you're like "Grandma, I can see you right there" but as soon as you get there, bam, it's a hand knitted replica. I'd watch that go on for, like, 2 hours but the actress just gets less and less afraid and more and more irritated. Edit: Wait oh my god the twist could be at the end that SHE was the hand knitted replica all along! When she finally finds grandma, grandma is beside a mirror, and then the camera pans to the mirror, which then shows the replica of the actress, and then it like falls over or something idfk
@milan431r
huge props to them tbh. 99% of ads with real people are incredibly cringe, uncreative, and they use the worst actors on this planet. These ads are genuinely good.
@syd_j0
What really surprised me was the fact that I saw one of the live-action ads on the actual TV, like not a social media site. They had the budget to get this as a real television commercial. Then I saw another animated one on social media after the live-action ones came out, and the animation quality dropped extensively. Probably because they blew their budget on the live-action.
