Ad Age: Edgar Scissorhands Article
I have been shaking with excitement from all the multiple viewings of the ad, photos and article, thank for sharing everything Simone! This article reveals some behind the scenes info as well as a quote I simply love: director David Shane says Timmy “has the grace of a silent movie comedian”. Being compared to the genius of Charlie Chaplin is quite a compliment and as this commercial shows it is very well deserved!

I have watched it multiple times now. It is all over Twitter, the full ad. It is great. Timothee is perfectly cast - I love him playing Edgar. And it is cool to see Winona. I only have one minor, minor complaint - I wish Timothee would have had some dialogue. He said one thing in the car but I can't make out what it is. But it was very entertaining! There are some Johnny Depp fan haters out there but who cares. Timothee and Winona were great!

Great ad! Funny idea, and excellent implementation. That role really suits Timmy.

Whatever Johnny Depp did or did not do in recent years, you can never take away his brilliant performances in Edward Scissorhands or the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I love Edward Scisscorhands and am glad to see it being remembered fondly 30 years later.
And I love Tim Burton. My favorite film of his is still Nightmare Before Christmas, because it combines my two favorite holidays i.e. Halloween and Christmas, in such a unique way. Such a grand classic! I just wish Tim Burton was still married to Helena Bonham Carter who I also adore in everything she does.
And finally I love Timothee and I love this Cadillac ad. Such fun and surprising news this weekend! But I do have one quibble. Does anyone have any spare thousands to give me to buy a Cadillac?!

I literally just finished watching Edward Scissorhands, the first time since the early 90s, it was like watching it for the first time. And it made me appreciate even more that Edgar Scissorhands exists for this commercial (I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen the film). As per my tweet below, I watched it by signing up for the 7-day free trial of Starz available on Hulu or Amazon Prime.
A LOT of Johnny Depp fans seem to be pleased by the tweet I posted below where Timmy praised Johnny.

Just a one minute version of the ad aired tonight during the Superbowl, and almost immediately afterwards, Timmy and Winona trending for a bit.

Timmy's Cadillac commercial was the 3rd most-watched of the Superbowl ads on YouTube.

People magazine's Top 10 Superbowl commercial list places Timmy's Edgar Scissorhands Cadillac commercial at #6! Yes!!! I'm so happy that out of all those expensive commercials, his Scissorhands commercial was really a great hit! people.com/tv/super-bowl-2021-best-commercials/

The LA Times has a full article about the Scissorhands commercial. This is excellent La La Land PR for Timmy and his commercial.

GQ really liked the commercial too. Besides the unnecessary pot shot at Depp, it was a cool review.
