Muppets take "Manhattan"
The combining of film dialogue with scenes of animation/puppetry has now become something of a YouTube phenomenon. What once took hours of work with analog video, is now relatively easy with the right software. The true mark of a good bootleg edit, of course, is the confluence of image and sound, and—usually more important—technique.
The Muppets are ideal for this type of re-editing. The ambiguity of the mouth movements create a believability of just about anything that can be said—moreso than cartoons.
There is just so much to love about this bootleg.
