Over the years, Home Alone has become a must-watch Christmas movie, and Google is taking advantage of the 90’s children favorite movie series with a hilarious new ad.
The newly released ad “Home Alone Again” features Macaulay Culkin reprising his role of Kevin McCallister, but this time in a smart home powered by Google Assistant.
Unlike the original movie, Kevin is not really “Home Alone,” but rather in a house with various Google Assistant gadgets.
This includes the Google Home Hub, a Pixel 2 XL, Home Mini, and Nest Hello door camera. A variety of other smart gadgets are used, including a propped up mannequin attached to a Roomba in order to simulate people and movement.
So, after 28 years McCallister house is activated by a Google Assistant Routine. Interesting!!!
Here is the ad:
The video is both a nostalgic revisiting of the 1990’s hit series and a clever way to show off what Google’s voice-activated devices can do.
Also, sharing the fantastic advertising with the viewers, Google had tweeted on Wednesday (yesterday) saying: “Turns out it’s a lot easier to defend your house from bandits when you have the Google Assistant”.
#heygoogle Have you ever wondered what Kevin McCallister is like as an adult? Me neither. But just in case you’re curious you should totally watch this #ad pic.twitter.com/uO9qMPrUT3
