The bunny one is just incomprehensible. It is so detailed, the way it behaves, how it bounces, bops its head and wiggles its spherical tail is just immaculate.

Okay, that bunny was seriously impressive in my opinion. If I had this man’s talent, I would never stop using it. This is beautiful.

This feels like it came from an alternate universe where people are happy and get along

Man, the I hear babies cry segment just got me emotional. Louis Armstrong’s lyrics combined with the adorable baby hand reaching out for the parent is simply heartwarming 😭

This guy deserves an award.

It feels nice to hear people laugh and just be happy

I get that people are laughing out of amusement but this was so beautifully arranged I cried a bit

Love that this video was randomly recommended to everyone at the the same time 10 years after it was uploaded

This feels so simple, but it’s masterfully done. True artistry.

why is this under the category comedy when I'm crying over it's beauty

Damn this is getting reccommended for everyone after a decade

This was beautiful. The part with a baby’s hand gripping on to the full grown hand got to me… so heartfelt and talented

The puppets themselves are impressive but what really blew me away was the timing. Felt like I was watching a video edited with precise cuts and camera movement, but it was just this guy’s hands moving in-front of a spotlight

I can't describe how astounded I am that I found this again, by chance. The first time I saw this I was amazed, shortly after I bought the first "big" purchase of $15-$30 my parents let me spend on a book of hand-shadows. I could make the old man and the rabbit from this clip, I can still remember how to make the rabbit. This is a huge chunk of my childhood and brings back so many associated memories.

this reminds me when my dad, brother and I would always do shadow puppet shows on the wall before going to sleep 15 years ago. How time goes by now I am in college

1:48 this got me 😂😂😂

they got the animal movements, transitions, everything. this is art.

When the baby hand grabs the adults hand, then the adult hand disappears and the baby hand grows into an adult. Honestly really powerful imagery

I'd bet 99% of the people that saw this weren't even looking for shadow puppet videos, but spent at least the next 30-60 minutes going down a rabbit hole watching them.

The fact that his performance made me purely emotional…… and he only used his hands… this is incredible.. I am so teary eyed..

That little detail of him taking a moment to breathe at around 1:55 was actually really nice

The algarhymth has blessed me on this day.

A couple days ago I found out I was terminally ill and was looking back at photos of myself as a child when i stumbled upon a photo of my sister and I as children putting on a shadow puppet show. Inspired by such a simple pleasure, I dove into the world of shadow puppets and quickly discovered this video. It truly is incredible. I just found out today that a cure has been discovered and really thought to myself, “What a wonderful world.”

Wow. I remember seeing this guy live back when I was a little kid, and being absolutely blown away by his talent. It was like magic. He was selling books in the foyer afterwards and I got my parents to buy me one. It taught you how to do all of the shadow puppets shown in this video. I briefly spoke to him too, and he seemed like a really nice man who was happy to talk to a random kid about his craft.

Simple yet amazing, perfect song choice and a marvelous execution!

Seeing this performance on TV is one of my earliest memories can't belive I have found it again. Truly magnificent

That made me so happy and I'm a 35year old man.

Absolutely great, without a shadow of a doubt. Let’s all give this guy a hand!

This guy is producing better scene-to-scene motion transitions with his hands than I've ever been able to within 10 minutes using a mouse and keyboard in After Effects. God tier talent, pure art.

If the internet dies, i want this as the credits.

My parents showed me this video as one of the first "viral stuff" that was around there at that time. Many years later, I've unlocked this memory and now I'm enjoying it at 3AM. Marvelous!

This was great. I really like the small details that were added like the twitching of the horses ears, the goose cleaning itself as well as the rabbit. They were things that didn’t need to be added but just made it so much more realistic.

Here before this turns ten years old.

*Why did I see this randomly* on KZfaq on my recommended 9 years after this was made- 👁👄👁?

I remembered this! I saw it when it happened and it’s been in the farthest back corners of my mind. I have wanted to look for it for so so long. I can’t believe I found it the part I remembered was 1:22. It stuck with me since I saw it and for some reason it meant something to me. I doubt it matters to anyone else but it reminds me of a part in my life when I didn’t need to care. I can’t begin to actually describe what this really means to me to have found it. God bless all of you people. Remember something beautiful for me.

This song was played at my grandpa’s funeral and it was the first time I’d seen my father cry. This is the first time I was able to hear it without crying. Thank you for sharing your gift.

see, this is one of the jewels of early 2000s. pure nostalgia. I'm sure we all remember going downstairs, making cereal, and sitting in front of the tv before anyone else was awake, or staying up late watching things like this or Bob Ross. good times

This video made me do something I haven’t done in forever: Crying. When 1:21 just happens, it removes all the bottled tears that have been stuck for too long.

When I was in third grade my music teacher would show us this video every single day and I seriously haven’t forgotten it since and it all of a sudden showed up on my recommended. Brings back memories.

1:54 that breathing pause omg

1:47 okay THIS is impressive

Guy went from shadow puppet to full Avatar level CGI world

this was randomly recommended to me. but for anyone who doesn't know, this clip is originally from an Australian music quiz show called spicks and specks which ran on ABC (Australian BBC) all throughout the 2000s and for the first half of the 2010s. that show, along with top gear and many other shows on the ABC family of channels were my childhood. at the end of each episode, they'd have some kind of performance, either by someone mentioned or someone on the episode, it was really fun and the host, team captains and guests had great chemistry together. they tried to reboot spicks and specks with new people in 2017 I think, but it completely flopped cause the people on the show didn't work together at all. from what I know, the reboot only had one episode because of how shit it was.

The transitions... This is genuinely impressive. What a talent!

So clean and original, I absolutely loved his performance!

From a universe where everyone is happy and gets along

red roses too red roses too red roses too and I think to myself red roses too

Illusion 100

2 minutes of escape from this not so wonderful world.

I swear this is 1000% better than modern pop music videos.

Can we please talk about how perfect and adorable that bunny was

We really need a clean version, without people laughing over such a good piece of art.

That rabbit is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen, wow...

It took KZfaq 9 years to show me this gem

Would totally chill in a cave with this guy

9 years later the rabbit on the hill still mindblow me 1:02

His wife must be having a wonderful world

My teacher played this for us back in 3rd or 4th grade and I was just hit with the biggest wave of nostalgia.

This is just outstanding, the perfect performance to go along with such a beautiful song. The joy it brought the audience is so sweet

My grandmother's favorite song. I wish she would've been able to see this imagery. Sure she would've loved it! RIP Loretta and Louie 😇

This is sad because this culture almost forgotten by our generation 😢

This guy went to the high school I'm in right now.

1:23 Tugged my heart strings 😭💖😭💖🌹

This unlocked a very deep, pretty much forgotten childhood memory.

I am crying

omg that bunny one was smooth

Remember that one of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's flashback where he actually met the guy with big hands who is good at puppet shadowing? Here he is now, becoming successful. Where did the years go?

Far better to find something from your childhood by accident than to remember something from your childhood, but not be able to find it.

okay but that rabbit one was so impressive

This is beautiful.

This is beautiful! The technique, of course, but also the narrative… and the details, sort of little side notes, and the fact that all the world is singing… wonderful piece of art, so glad I clicked on it!

1:42 Jessie! I turned my self into a shadow Jessie! we need to cook shadow meth! Jessie! I'm Heigsenshadow now! We need to cook for Gustavo finger! JESSIE!

This was more wholesome then I ever expected it to be

Ice Bear is very impressed, and likes the emotion put into this.

Doing shadow puppet Louie Armstrong was awesome by itself, but he took it to whole other level.

As a kid I was really into shadow puppets but I had forgotten about that period until I saw this video. It brought back good memories

Rewatched this never gets old ❤

9 years later and this is still an amazing watch

that was so beutiful im crying as i type

Hey.... That's Pretty Good!

This gives me great feelings. This is a wonderful world.

idk why this was in my recommended but i needed it.

i have never been so entertained in my life 😅

I watched this live years ago, it was such a simple, yet beautiful moment. What a lovely time.

I shed a tear over hands, not disappointed to be honest that I did.

Welcome back to another episode of “Why Is This In My Recommended?”

I believe this is the official music video for this song.

This is beautiful! However made this is a awesome person

It’s nice to get this recommended this every once in a while, it helps sooth the soul

This is a talent and I love it it’s very calming to me

Just imagine what amazes us ten thousand years ago still amassed us

Jokes and nostalgia aside, that is some real talent

Шикарное исполнение! Браво!

His wife is a lucky women

Anyone else legit just get this recommended 9 years later

I remember watching this in primary school, and it was the coolest thing they have ever seen. And then whenever it was sunny, everyone tried to be like him and failed miserably .

A legendary act closing on an episode of a legendary show

this happened exactly on the day i was born
