Thank youto the Anon who took and posted this screenshot from one of my favorite commercials yesterday in a previous bred.
I don't even drink, and I'm no fan of using trannies to sell Bud Light, but I have to give the Anheuser-Busch Company lots credit for hiring a group of talented people to make this ad that I love so much.
According to the quick search I did online:
Budweiser’s 2026 “American Icons” Super Bowl commercial did not use AI. The iconic moment of a bald eagle taking flight from the back of a galloping Clydesdale was achieved with 100% real animals and no computer-generated imagery. www.westsoles.com +1
According to Anheuser-Busch, the ad was filmed over several days in California to capture natural light and sweeping landscapes, and the eagle at the center of the shot — Lincoln, a 28‑year‑old rescued bald eagle from the American Eagle Foundation — was never forced to fly. His handlers trained him to take flight voluntarily, and the moment happened because Lincoln chose to do so. www.westsoles.com
The Clydesdale featured was a real horse, gradually acclimated to Lincoln’s presence before filming began. www.westsoles.com
The production was fully permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with a team of more than a dozen expert trainers on set at all times. www.westsoles.com
The final “Pegasus‑like” silhouette was a real, in‑camera alignment of the eagle and horse, not a CGI or AI‑generated effect. EQUINE Ink
In short, the ad is a real‑life, animal‑driven cinematic achievement rather than a digitally enhanced or AI‑created piece.
I wanted to post this in case anyone else here had ever wondered if this miraculous imagery was computer-generated, like I did. It's heartwarming to know that, nope, no AI was used. It's just another example of God's glorious creation here on earth.
