Popular culture

In 2005, Gentle Giant was selected by Al Roker Productions to be featured in a 10-episode reality TV series on the Discovery Home Channel (recently renamed the Planet Green network) called Make Your Move. This series documented the process of moving one's home or office and the experiences associated with it, from both the customer's perspective and the mover's perspective.

In the movie The Departed, Detective Sergeant Sullivan's girlfriend Madolyn used Gentle Giant boxes when she was packing her old apartment to move into Sullivan's apartment.
