Rainbow Connection Anime Mashup
In the wake of the press concerning the Wii and the PS3 launch, there needs to be some time devoted to the sweet simplicity of a Muppet song. My friend Nigel sent me this beautiful video by Lee Thompson, aka Lost Boy, who took the Master’s Award at the 2005 Atlanta Anime Weekend convention. It’s a tender montage of many Miyazaki movies and some of my personal favorites Robot Carnival and The Rescuers. Everybody enjoy this sincere video, while visions of cranberries dance in your heads.
If you feel the need to hear Kermit’s original rendition of Rainbow Connection, make the jump.

That filled my heart with holiday cheer.
The sequence with the soldier releasing the angel… I can’t recall if that is from Robot Carnival or not. Anyone remember better than me? The only short segment from the film I really remember (apart from the actual robot carnival causing destruction everywhere) is “Presence”.
I never miss the muppet movies when they play at midnight at the local indie theatres.
This is so well put together. The song so touching. I LOVE IT! XD ~ Happy Holidays everyone :)
I used to have this on 8-Track. Yes, goddamn right 8-Track.
Awwwww! _
