FESTIVIDS IS LIVE

and I GOT TWO VIDS, this makes two years in a row, have I just been really good or something? ...obviously not, so I must just be the luckiest girl in the world. Two PERFECT Mulan vids:

Ain't No Other Man
Okay, see, I request Mulan every year, and it's usually my only safety source because I don't really watch movies. But I watch Disney, and I love Mulan SO MUCH, and I think it's one of the most beautiful Disney movies--the style just really works for me--so, request. I don't think I was ever anticipating something like this, but clearly I should have been because IT IS THE BEST THING EVER. The summary is "Ain't no other man for Shang" and damn right there is not. And all the timing is perfect, and I giggled the entire way through and also felt Feelings. I am going to watch this every single day until reveals, and then I will watch it again but bigger and perfecter. GIVE ME STRENGTH, BOY, YOU'RE THE BEST.

Bloom in Adversity
So this vid is the complete opposite--closer to what I imagined when requesting Mulan, but I didn't really imagine how gorgeous this vid would be. Visually, of course; it makes full use of that amazing animation and I can't look away from it. But it's also so breathtaking because of all the emotional--everything, it makes me clutch my heart. I really love that it spends a lot of time on Mulan's life before and outside of Ping and fully develops that part of her life, emotionally. I love how the use of fades and cutting is tied organically to the music. I LOVE the music and it gives me all the feelings. ...okay I have to watch this one again too now, I am never going to get around to any of the other vids.

SO, you guys, watch them both, tell the vidders how awesome they are. And then watch the other 196 vids, because OMG FESTIVIDS.
