BEHIND THE SCENES: All Creatures Great & Small's Groundhog "Poppy" Stars in No. 1 Super Bowl Commercial


By: All Creatures Great & Small | February 13, 2020

BEHIND THE SCENES: ACG&S\'s Groundhog "Poppy" Stars in Super Bowl Commercial
People Magazine's NUMBER 1-RATED commercial features "Poppy" the Groundhog. Here are some details about the shoot and a behind the scenes look at how the commercial was made!

It was a fabulous spot with a truly incredible team! The commercial was shot in Illinois at the same location of the original GROUNDHOG DAY movie.

Poppy is a young female Groundhog. She is a licensed Wildlife Educational Ambassador as she was not able to be released back into the Wild. She was very easy going and calm to work with and did most of the scenes herself with a plush toy stand in when it was appropriate.


She had 2 handlers with her at all times and there was a Humane Animal Rep on set for the entire shoot.


Poppy had plenty of down time and a special warm holding area, but really enjoyed being outside and working with Bill Murray. She wears a comfy soft harness for most scenes. She also had a back up tether system for special scenes where she was in the car


Bill Murray was taught how to hold and support Poppy and they took special time to acclimate to one another. They really had a great working relationship as you can see in the spot and she often looked to him when he spoke or sang to her.


Poppy is hoping to use this wonderful opportunity to help raise awareness for Wildlife Recue and Rehabilitation organizations everywhere.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Here's how we made Groundhog Day happen... again. Watch never before seen footage of how we made our Big Game spot (#1 on USA Today Ad Meter) with Bill Murray, his bushy tailed friend and the rest of the cast and crew.


For more than 75 years, the Jeep name has been indelibly associated with freedom, authenticity, adventure and passion. These are vehicles for "dreamers and doers" - forging extraordinary, uncommon bonds between themselves and their owners, because adventure is found in every Jeep vehicle's DNA. The Jeep badge stands for more than a brand. In truth, it's a badge of honor.
