There was a youtube video of the song on Regina's channel, but it looks like it's been taken down and replaced with a preview video. Guessing it will be replaced tonight or tomorrow.

Cover is pretty great though.

That's the wee preview

Paranorman was the better movie I feel. Kubo looks dece too although it'll probably get way under appreciated.

the key changes in this song never seem to work in covers as well as it does in the original

seems to be the case for a lot of beatles songs. just impeccable songwriting.

'cant wait for a shitty pixar or disney installments to steal it's Oscar, tho'
That will 100% happen no matter how good the movie might end up.

it happens every year and it pisses me off, the oscars are a perfect way to showcase animation in a way of it being taken seriously and it always just goes to disney.

Money talks. Pixar and Disney are laughing all the way to the bank while traditional animation bleeds the fuck out.

I love Disney like no other. But dbizz has it on point. Some of the best animated movies I've ever seen are the ones that never see the light of the oscar.

Monster house anyone?

"I only watch the ones that my kid wants to see, so I didn’t see [The] Boxtrolls but I saw Big Hero 6 and I saw [How to Train Your] Dragon [2]. We both connected to Big Hero 6 — I just found it to be more satisfying. The biggest snub for me was Chris Miller and Phil Lord not getting in for [The] Lego [Movie]. When a movie is that successful and culturally hits all the right chords and does that kind of box-office — for that movie not to be in over these two obscure freakin’ Chinese fuckin’ things that nobody ever freakin’ saw [an apparent reference to the Japanese film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, as well as the Irish film Song of the Sea]? That is my biggest bitch. Most people didn’t even know what they were! How does that happen? That, to me, is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen."

"Voter #6: I saw all five. I like to sit down with [the young people in her family] and watch them. We all loved Big Hero 6 and there was no discussion, no argument, no nothing. The kids watched that one three times — what does that tell you?
MY VOTE: Big Hero 6"

"Voter #6: I’m a dog lover, so this one was no contest.
MY VOTE: Feast"

this article still pisses me off to this day

same here, it infuriates me. shouldnt it be a requirement that all academy voters have to WATCH all films nominated?

And I'm just wondering what 'anti-folk' is.

'a music genre that seeks to subvert the earnestness of politically charged 1960s folk music. The defining characteristics of this anti-folk are difficult to identify, as they vary from one artist to the next.'

so basically, "it aint bob dylan"
