I like it a lot. If you want to operate some rides, you can try this. I only tried the first two. They're a bit hard to master. I have renewed respect for the operators.
WOW, that is a really cool video!! The overall production is so well done, I'm quite impressed.
But lolwhat at the mice at the end?! Ha ha, if I were WB, I'd be ashamed to put my logo stamp at the end of a video that blames Disney for the destruction of all civilization XDD ...but maybe there's more to the story than I can see here.
Even in bleakness, I'm like, "Well, armageddon means less cars so that's less TRAFFIC..."_skye_May 3 2007, 18:17:10 UTC
Agreed on the lol factor - all that narrative in the background was so distracting and wonderful that I didn't even pay any attention to the song!! And I'm now at work so I can't even listen to it, dang.
I love the whole philosophical statement made by the use of the Mary Blair/Small World flat oversimplified style in contrast to the complicated question of human destiny. To poke fun at our acceptance of the inevitable decline of the civilization (terror by our own hands and Man's Inhumanity to Man play large in the whole beginning of this) through use of typical childhood indoctrination was very clever, I thought. And I'm sure they were poking a little fun at the anime craze via the robots - I was sure that plume of smoke from the building was going to herold a dark turn to the 'ride', but in true childhood-socialization form the Big Bad was replaced with the Big Imaginary Bad. I thought the jaded addition of the theory of the cyclical nature of civilization's demise there at the end was rather delicious and dark - loved it

Oh, I agree about those two people at the end too!
Although I read it like "When someone loses everything, that seems bad; but when everyone loses everything, then it seems like we should be happy just to exist."
--which means what? Kinda weird... Not sure about that. :3

As bleak as the video is the song is very optimistic. Here are the lyrics:
Follow through Make your dreams come true Don't give up the fight You will be alright Cause there's no one like you in the universe
Don't be afraid What your mind consumes You should make a stand Stand up for what you believe And tonight We can truly say Together we're invincible
During the struggle They will pull us down But please, please Let's use this chance To turn things around And tonight We can truly say Together we're invincible
Do it on your own It makes no difference to me What you leave behind What you choose to be And whatever they say Your soul is unbreakable
If you look at the video from the point of view of the band, you'll see that the world around them is self-destructive but they are doing their own thing (playing their music)and not being affected by it. They are riding through life ignoring the chaos that would bring them down. And because of that, they are invincible.

Dammit, Gary! Now I'm going to spend virtually all day virtually running virtual Disneyland Paris rides.
