Mashup 2011 Contest Online Voting

The 19 videos below competed for the Popular Choice award for Mashup Contest 2011. View the winners.
Video #1: A Conversation with Walt Disney
I am demonstrating a conversation with Walt Disney expressing themes of perseverance and determination that he instilled in others.
Video #2: A Resolved Conflict
Video #3: Dirty Filthy
I am trying to depict a conversation between Dirty, the rejected dwarf and Walt Disney. It is meant to be funny and also explain some anthropological concepts that drove the career of Walt Disney.
Video #4: Dreamworld
The goal of this Mash Up is to reveal the hopes for a dream world where there would be no fear of the impacts of climate change and end of the world prophesies, a world where people would live in the moment, peacefully as citizens of the world.
Video #5: Front and Center: Minnie's Big Break
Video #6: it's an animation book
I wanted to use animation in a "Toy Story" way to show what might happen if books came alive behind the scenes of the library.
Video #7: Miss Disney 2011
The video is a beauty contest where Walt Disney chooses a new wife from among his princesses. I am trying to show what kind of answers Walt Disney would give if he was conversing with the princesses, using some humor.
Video #8: Mystery of Disney 2011
This mashup is a spoof of the Mystery of Science Theater 3000 clips. It is a video playing with the concept of what Walt Disney would say if he saw Tim Burton's rendition of Alice in Wonderland.
Video Not Available
Video #9:One Minute Tale Of Walt Disney
Video #10: Portrait of Walt Disney
I wanted to show a mashup of Disney sketches and images that encapsulate Walt Disney and his dreams.
Video #11: Prince Charming Interviews Walt Disney
I'm trying to show an interview between Prince Charming from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Walt Disney, in which the Prince is asking Walt why he was not portrayed more in the film. The Prince does this by using pictorial examples.
Video #12: The Controversy That Is Song of the South
Song of the South is one of Walt Disney's most controversial films. Because it is no longer available for public viewing, many have not actually seen the film. Yet, comments about the film are galore. In my video, I attempt to juxtapose these comments against Disney's comments about the film.
Video #13: The Glad Game
Video #14: The Hot Seat
Video #15:Wall Street Warriors and Walt Disney
Video #16: Walt Disney and Glenn Beck
Made for ANTH 231: Anthropology in the Cinema. I was aiming for a conversation in which Glenn Beck tries to convince Walt Disney to create something that would teach children in the next generation to be a good American. I showed however that Walt Disney was much more interested generally in creating movies like So Dear to My Heart than the propaganda he created for the government in WWII like Der Fuehrer's Face.
Video #17: Walt Disney vs. Adolf Hitler
I am trying to show the clash between the ethos and worldview of Walt Disney and the 1933 Hays Censorship Committee.
Video #18: WTF, Penn? the compass teach-in.
The purpose of this video was to rouse excitement for the "The Compass Teach-in, a public demonstration of student activists on several morally-ambiguous activities of Penn. The main issues focused on were our expansion into West Philadelphia, the treatment of Penn workers, and our defense research.
Video #19: Retake on Alice in Wonderland.
I refilmed my favourite scene from Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter Tea Party scene. I took the famous riddle, 'Why is the raven like a writing desk?' and changed the last two words that start with Walt Disney's initials to Walt Disney, and re-wrote the script by focusing on the concept of time!
