Eagles, Merrill’s Memories

We had so much fun creating this short for the Philadelphia Eagles. We were so excited when everyone else seemed to like it too! We’ve included the version we created for the Eagles and our Director’s Cut where we pay homage to one of our favorites, Bill Murray.

“unPOP teamed up with the Philadelphia Eagles to create an animated short titled, “Merrill's Memories." It depicts longtime Eagles announcer, Merrill Reese, recounting the 1995 play against the Dallas Cowboys in which he famously invoked the film, "Groundhog Day."

"I didn't know that anyone would even know what I was talking about, but it became one of my most famous calls of all time," Reese says at the end of the narrated video.

The animation style required roughly 4,000 photographs displayed at 24 frames per second to make the magic happen. It has gone viral on Twitter, receiving more than 122,000 views and many positive reactions.”
