I love trailer mashups. Love ‘em.
I’m fascinated by the way people more clever than I can pair a serious movie trailer—voice or visuals—with something over the top ridiculous, and make it work.
Case in point:
Seriously. I’ve seen most of the clips because my kids are addicted—I know what that cannon actually does, and what the dialogue actually was. And still, goosebumps.
I won’t lie—some of that might be Benedict Cumberbatch, whose voice once led me to watch a 14-minute compilation of Jaguar commercials . . . and three more while I was searching for the link.
So let’s try it with Henry Cavill—a talented actor whose voice isn’t included in my personal Vin Diesel Register of Excellence—paired with clips from a movie that’s a slightly more logical fit:
Still good.
You?
Honest trailers:
Pure awesome, Indy. Thanks!
I love the narrator most of all . . .
That My Little Pony thing went straight up on Facebook.
High praise indeed, Wendy!
I’ve never felt so proud to have been a Little Pony fan.
I’ve seen another Star Trek mash up and I’m trying to remember with what, but it’s not clicking. My husband snatched that gem from Reddit. I’ll have to ask him and report back. I really love the second one, though. Incredibles is one of my favorite animated films.
I saw a Toy Story/Trek mash—is that the one? It was far more frightening than the ponies.
I love the Incredibles—I wish they would do more with that ‘verse.
The Incredibles one was, well, incredible.
It works really, really well, doesn’t it?
I wasn’t even interested in Man Of Steel before, but now I am.
Just watch The Incredibles again. We both know Man of Steel will never top it.
No argument here—and I watched it right after I found that video!
Very wise indeed.
Now where is that DVD remote…
