Kane Pixels "The Rolling Giant" IS A REAL PLACE?! | Valley View Center Mall Comparison |

In this video I take real footage from the now demolished Valley View mall uploaded by TH-cam user "Zeroxlulu" in 2017 and compare it it with "The Rolling Giant" Backrooms animation by Kane Pixels where he recreated the entire mall for a horror short. Some of the details I found were unbelievable and I just had to share with everyone, the black table being in the same spot 6 years later and the white counter shown at the beginning were mind benders.

It's sad to know that view vally center mall is gone

[@DidYouKnowGamingShorts]

It really is sad but it's cool we have so many videos of it and people like Kane who can recreate these places digitally for us! Thanks for taking the time to comment have a great day!

[@Alex-dd9xx]

Dont worry its under your house in a 2 mile long staircase😂

[@anitapomplun7924]

It's not demolished it's still standing

[@anitapomplun7924]

​@@Alex-dd9xxone mile actually

[@ElmoreStreams]

@@anitapomplun7924It’s fully destroyed

[@isannaulu]

Wow... That is unreal how similar they are

[@DidYouKnowGamingShorts]

I was stunned at some of the similarities! Thanks for commenting have a great day!

[@plague571]

Wow, really awesome. They are "backrooms" that actually exist in the world.

[@SlushysSecret]

Its not based on the backrooms

[@koobery_veteran]

You called it that because you already saw the video lol

[@zyourzgrandzmaz]

​@@SlushysSecretthe original video is clearly inspiration for the backrooms. Also the valley mall is demolished now

[@SlushysSecret]

@@zyourzgrandzmazwell it’s obvious that it was destroyed, but it’s still not based on or related to the backrooms

[@fr_tripzzy69]

@@zyourzgrandzmazthe creator himself said it’s not connected to the backrooms AT ALL. Try again.

[@Gnarp_darp]

Its real.. the giant was in a parade and he’s gone no longer seen ever again..

[@MrFoxANDnoobie]

I used to go there as a kid that’s why I love the series ❤

[@ILIKEYOUTUBE2993]

That place got shutdown and now it's abandoned I wonder what they did with the rolling giant???

[@SlavaMedrockOFFICIAL]

jullien is gone. brokened

[@Blobberty]

does anyone else miss when backrooms was just the back of a store, like a storage room

[@acid_boy2009]

In 0:16 that’s actually a different store from Chinese avenue which is in a different wing but it’s not shop 2070

[@TreronDevelopment]

Well. Even If we know the similarities. i Would love to make a game version of the rolling giant myself honestly. Cause i made a song based off of this series actually

[@justaemptymall]

So if the statue isn't there, does it mean that someone took it with them before demolition? 😅

[@tooneysailor]

No sadly. It was also destroyed :(

[@ElmoreStreams]

@@tooneysailoroh…

[@justaemptymall]

It is not the truth @@ElmoreStreams

[@justaemptymall]

I heard that the statue actually got dismantled by the artist himself after its time was up@@tooneysailor Technically it could be revived if Obregon wanted it or still has all the pieces.

[@tooneysailor]

@@justaemptymall wait really?

[@Billys247]

Fun fact: the rolling giant is in the real mall it was a statue of juian sadly the mall got shut down and abandoned in black Friday and statue lasted little bit of time until it got fully destroyed

[@aarkproductions]

A few reasons
1) being that he probably would've had to pay a pretty penny to exclusively film in the mall for a day, with absolutely no one allowed in except for anyone going to operate a giant animatronic that would use probably motors to move on it's own
and if the mall was eventually torn down, you can imagine him planning for months to film there discreetly and then having to reschedule plans and perhaps pay for another location
2) he can have the main character do various stunts like he was towards the end, without putting his own life at risk, and now he can just move the giant whenever and wherever
And 3) it allowed him to be as creative as he wants like in the first part of the adventure going down a never ending starewell,
Something like that would also cost a lot of money to just make by digging that low and making it slowly look like an office like tunnel

[@gelatojack202]

of course the stairway down was but i
don’t think the mall is cgi I think he just uploaded old footage but

[@luzifershadres]

Actually, there is a video on his second channel showing the creation process. He used a lot of videos as reference material for a cgi recreation and even commented on a live stream exploring the building. He probely planned it longer than we thought.

[@DoniEnsalaaWaosss]

there was an exit on the roof?

[@jjuri231]

i went to that mall in 2017 so far that i saw rolling giant going where i am then i left

[@RubenYskoYskos-sr2fe]

the kane pixels one was made in blender! But why did he do it in Blender without being in the real mall? why was the valley view mall demolished a few months ago

[@MrFoxANDnoobie]

It was demolished 2019… kane’s took place 2023

[@SlavaMedrockOFFICIAL]

​@@MrFoxANDnoobie and fully demolished in 2023

[@MrFoxANDnoobie]

@@SlavaMedrockOFFICIAL yes thanks!

[@massimoquinzi9094]

This song is poppy playtime 1

[@timeywimeybrony]

Thanks!!!

[@ItzIceyVR]

It wasn’t animated in blender I don’t think. Kane uses something else I’m pretty sure

[@ProperAwesome]

nope, he used blender

[@ItzIceyVR]

@@ProperAwesome not for this animation. He used to use blender, but not anymore

[@ProperAwesome]

@@ItzIceyVR kane literally showed the blend file in his server

[@ItzIceyVR]

@@ProperAwesome when did that happen? I’m in Kanes server and I never saw that happen

[@ProperAwesome]

@@ItzIceyVR yea he sent and deleted it so that's probably why

[@Marvin-sml]

Does the rolling giant move in the real mall?

wow

[@SafixBG]

poppy playtime music lol

[@UltimateToilet]

Bro why did you use Poppy playtime ost

[@DayDreamer7749]

he a disney character

[@UltimateToilet]

wut

[@DidYouKnowGamingShorts]

Keen ear! I chose this track from the Poppy Playtime OST because I felt it fit the creepy liminal space vibe! Thanks for watching and for commenting have a great day!

[@UltimateToilet]

Ok

[@ijsplays]

how come nobody was there in the real footage clips?

[@SlavaMedrockOFFICIAL]

the mall was closed or just popularity is gone (abandoned, demolished after)

[@luzifershadres]

If someone would had ceeped the statue, he would had been a view thousend buck richer now.

husti

[@Tomatijopraktik]

I'am not like so horror

[@PDE609]

Bro is video real or fake and rolling giant is dead or live

[@SlavaMedrockOFFICIAL]

Mall and giant is real, but demolished now

[@Dj_KANABIS]

Fake😂

[@thecoolestrobloxplayer]

You really think everything is fictional?

[@Ch3zburg3r_]

Only thing is fake is your brain of yours

[@T90_Tank]

The blender animation is fake yes, but the 2017 footage was taken before it was demolished. That’s why there’s no people or why it’s so empty.
