Beaker's "Dust in the Wind" video is featured today on msn.com
:eek:
I just saw this on UK MSN too :eek:
Major excitement. It's so good to see people taking notice of them again. I guess it helps that they're coming out with some great stuff.

I just saw it and it's soo funny! It was kinda weird to see all of those pop-ups in the middle of the screen, but that's YouTube for you! I've never heard of that song, either. Guess I'll have to listen to it to understand the video more. Keep going, Muppets! I want to see more videos! :smile:

I honestly didn't "get" this one ... its great to see more Muppets but if they were gonna release something, it needed to be something to top BR. If that is even possible.

It's ultimately a satire of Youtube comments. The only catch is since you can't really see comments within the video, they mixed them with annotations with would usually come from the poster not the viewers. I can also see where a lot of people might not make the connection of "being flamed".

It's not the large scale video BR was, but what's really cool about this video is that it was a great comedy concept on something that was rife for parody...it could have been done by anyone - but the Muppets got there first and put their own unique spin on it! I can easily see this becoming an interent fan fave even if it doesn't get the same levels of view counts.

And no one's yet commented on Beaker's outfit! Loved it! So cool to see how he might dress on a day off/musician garb, not confined to his lab coat

The by product of this video, and I think the most significant thing that we as fans can pull from it, is how in tune Disney is with the younger generation and the surrounding culture... I think that will play into the film quite well...

It was ok but I didn't care for it as much as I have for others, I'd really like to see more videos from Bobo & Beauregard now those are funny :smile:
