AMV Monthly: January 2017

The Magic Returns with a brand new Disney MEP!
Index

Hello Everyone! Its been 3 whole years since the last Disney MEP was released, and so I think that it's about time to bring it back! For those that don't know, the Wonderful World of Disney MEP was a project organized many years ago by CodeZTM. The concept was to simply make a bunch of new AMVs that used songs from various animated Disney movies, and then put them all into a compilation video. We had so much fun that the MEP became a annual event where more and more people joined in with each installment. But due to Code needing to step away from the community for a bit, I took on the role of compiling and releasing the 4th MEP back in 2014. So for 2017, I'm deciding to revive this project so we can celebrate our love of AMVs and Disney one more time.

*March comes in like a lion Official Music Video | BUMP OF CHICKEN

This music video was made for the project called "March comes in like a lion meets BUMP OF CHICKEN"; Japanese rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN created a song named "Fighter" for the manga "March comes in like a lion", then Chika Umino, a author of the manga, created a short story about Rei Kiriyama who is a main character of "March comes in like a lion" inspired from the song.

*AMVs and Transformative Storytelling | Pause and Select

Anime Music Videos (AMVs) are transformative works that provide channels of communication between the viewer and the viewed. The editors who make AMVs have distinct communities built on the evolution of anime conventions in the United States but have prospered and transformed globally. In the performance of technology, AMV editors find ways of using mass-mediated texts to express themselves, to convey emotions, and to communicate social messages. They make new associations by combining materials and display these associations in sophisticated ways on social forums like the Internet and anime conventions. The associations are interpretive and articulate how storytelling, rather than a fixed and linear one-way flow, is nonlinear, a negotiation between the storytelling performer and audience.

*New "DuckTales" Cast Sings Original Theme Song | Disney XD

Top-billed actors will bring the beloved characters of McDuck Manor to life in the all-new animated comedy series "DuckTales," premiering in summer 2017 on Disney XD channels around the world.

*Doctor Who-oo! (Duck Tales Parody) | Axis of Awesome

We've re-written the Duck Tales theme song to be about Doctor Who to celebrate David Tennant's upcoming role as Scrooge McDuck.

*Superbat Z [Batman/Superman MV] | drewaconclusion

Was watching Man of Steel last year and the fighting in it reminded me of Dragonball Z, so then I had the idea stuck in my head that it should be paired with Rock The Dragon (the original English theme song for Dragonball Z). This is the result.
