Wow, there are some awesome clip matches with the sounds.

My dear Festividder, you are the most awesome ever. I was a little apprehensive when I saw the length of the vid, but you've managed to fill it out beautifully to the last second and made it a celebration of everything in the movie. I love your musicality and sense of rhythm (Carrie Fisher and the flame-thrower! I can't help cracking up at that), I love the Frank Oz paired with the perfect line. Thank you for jumping once more unto the breach for me at such late notice, and for turning out this beauty. I am going to watch it over and over. *smooches*

Thank you. I'm very happy that you're happy with it.

(I completely understand your point about the length. I started out trying to seriously edit the song, because it *is* too long. But then I thought, if I'm going to make a vid about everybody, everybody should actually be in it - that's sort of the point of an everybody-themed vid. And I found I did need a song with nine repetitions of the chorus to make that happen. I'm happy with the choice I made, but I can see the other side of the argument.)

I think it works beautifully. <3 Thank you again!

It's impossible not to be grinning by the end of this vid. Your use of the motion with the music is great, and I like that the Brothers were more a counterpoint to all of the people of the film than the focus.

:D :D :D

This song and this vid are so perfect for this movie! Delightful and awesome, it really captures the whole broad (ridiculous) canvas of the movie so very well. Nostalgiaaaaa!
