It is from a movie. It’s not really a kids movie though. The movie is called “Moonwalker” and it starts out with a few cool music video things and then transitions into a proper movie. A lot of this music video is from that movie part. The little girl is called Katie in the movie. Michael basically has to save her from a crime boss dude called “Mr Big”. There’s more to it but I’ll leave it at that in case you wanna watch the movie.

Joe Pesci played Mr. Big in Moonwalker and the young boy dancing like MJ was "Fool" from the movie People under the stairs (Brandon Adams). I remember getting the Moonwalker game for Sega Genesis on my 11th birthday from my grandparents and I was really confused because I didn't know Michael Jackson made videogames. My grandparents must've walked into EB Games and asked the clerk "what popular game are kids playing right now?" and somehow "Michael Jackson's Moonwalker" came out of the clerks mouth. The best parts are the zombies, the Smooth Criminal stage and when MJ turns into a giant silver Gobot in Murder Mode.

Good choreography. Every move and pose of the dancers was choreographed. There is not a beat where an arm, leg, body, head did not have a place to be. Dancers’ bodies are instruments. Just as a trumpet player knows what note to play on what beat, so with dancers. Michael choreographed a bit but brought in choreographers too. Yes, that forward sway was a trick boot. But magical to watch when it first came out and no one knew how it worked. Sure do miss MJ. Grew up with him on TV and radio.

Oh man, this is prob my fav MJ song. It gives me goosebumps everytime, especially when at the end of the breakdown he just goes "Annie, are you okay, are you okay Annie?" And then BAM into that dance. Shit, that was too good. He's so friggin smooth man. This is exactly why he's the King, the song isn't just amazing but the dancing too. He changed the game man. Damn. The King 👑

This has to be my favorite video clip of all time. Michael was ahead of his time in every sense. Phenomenal artist/performer. I mustve been not older than 8 years old when I wore a suit and danced to Billie Jean. He makes you want to move even if you don't know how to

Michael Jackson would watch kids dance, and learn from them and improvise, so when the kid says he taught him everything he knows, this was an homage to the children he learned moves from as he watched them. Beginning with Thriller, he began to work on his videos as though they were movie shorts, and this was signature for many of his videos and also drove up the cost and production of all music videos from that point forward after Thriller in 1983 for all other artists who followed.

Growing up in the 80’s we looked forward to video’s and was always super excited when Michael Jackson came out with a new hit because you knew the video was gonna be like a mini movie and nobody did video’s like him. Never disappointed in Michael Jackson, was such a very talented man and I don’t think there will ever be anyone quite like him. ❤️🇨🇦

MJ has a lot of great songs, but this is my favorite video. SO many DIFFERENT and unique dance moves in it. You nailed it when you mentioned how precise and perfect his movements are. The subtleties are even perfect. The choreography is just amazing. You can watch it 100 times and still be in awe of it.
@ToneeRhianRose 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah his MVs from Thriller on were always like mini-movies. That iconic move was achieved by special shoes he wore that had a groove in the heel which he'd slide onto a nail or screw in the floor & then he'd just lean forward.

It's honestly his best music video, in my opinion. I love the homages to Fred Astaire and the films of the late 1940s. There's also so much energy, a great setting, and some super cool avant-garde stuff that was common in films of that era. A lot of his music videos from the Bad and Dangerous eras were great. Another great one is the music video for his song "Leave Me Alone." It's a semi-animated little gem of about average length, but the look and feel is great.

This song brings me back to my elementary school tumbling club (circa late 1980's). At an assembly, we put on a performance -- where the beginners did forward rolls in a line down a tumbing mat, then the intermediates did cartwheels, and finally the advanced group did backflips... all to the tune of "Smooth Criminal". I was in the forward roll group. 🤣

Omg...Jay...when you tried to do the “lean”...I was dying! 🤣 because I have tried that too! No friggin clue how they pulled that off! But probably the best dance moves ever in a video...2nd best is In the Closet and of course, You Rock My World. His dance moves completely get a hold of you and make you feel like you want to learn his moves! MJ was and always will be a treasure!

Fun fact: the three children that appear spying on Michael are Kellie Parker (the girl), Brandon Adams (the one who dances along, now an established voice actor) and Sean Lennon (son of Beatle John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and a musician on his own right).

This man changed the face of what Pop music was AND the industry as a whole and influenced so many future artists. No one has ever beat up his album sales record. He was the King, still is and still will be. Yet Rolling Stone Magazine named Harry Styles the new King of Pop ?! A kid that was in only one successful boy band and didn't have ANY influence on the music industry what so ever. The times we're living.

You need to do “this is the end” it shown how creative he was and how he demanded perfection from his dancers and band. He was planning, practicing and getting his final tour together. He passed away before he could put on the show. But what they released was probably the most behind the scenes access any had ever gotten of the mind behind the mega shows.
