A tipster (thanks, Brad) sent us this amazing video, with the following message:
My mom sent me this. She knows the producer and said it cost 25 million dollars to make.
Please just keep that figure, 25 million dollars, in your head for the whole time that you watch this.
But WAIT, it only gets better. As mentioned in the video, You Make My Day is FEATURE FILM for which this is just a PREVIEW! Aye-aye-aye. The official website for You Make My Day: The Movie describe the film thusly:
An Epic Musical Romantic Adventure set in a mystical island kingdom where horses reign and birds keep watch.
Yup. Yes. I would say that sums it up perfectly. The Epic Musical Romantic Adventure, whatever that means, is the vanity project of “Emmy Award Winning Composer Michael J. Lewis.” What Emmy did he win? Most Obviously Wants To Fuck A Beautiful Horse? This is absolute madness. But WAIT, the website has even more videos, which I have posted after the jump. You take the blue pill ignore the jump, the story ends, you wake up in your bed, and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill follow the jump, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you just how deep the rabbit Make My Day hole goes.
Hello, brain hospital? We’re going to need all of the ambulances please. I’m afraid everyone’s mind is blown.
LET’S DRIVE THAT THING INTO THE OCEAN!
Ladies, I offer you The Room but for animals. Usually I am joking when I say this, but this time I am serious: you’re welcome.

Animal Collective fucking sold out
got four tickets for the Electric Factory
Ready? CHAAAAAAAAAAARGE
It’s… alright.
when will this be featured on your “The Hunt for the Worst Movie of All Time” section?
Borders on sadistic
Forget full-length anything. That trailer was easily one of the best things I have seen this year. This is obviously going to be a masterpiece.
I like turtles.
I just Miasma-ed my pants with excitement.
WHAT IN THE WHAT
I just pulled out my movie producing software…
And did a line producing breakdown.
And factoring in union rates in the 310 area, this shoot and post should’ve cost (anyone have a good figure for a per diem on a “family values consultant”?) about 218k.
So obviously the music cost… TWENTY FOUR MILLION AND CHANGE!
Did you account for the trumpet wrangler?
that second clip is what it feels like in my head
From his imdb bio:
“trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London where he studied harmony, counterpoint and composition.”
Why doesn’t he know a thing about harmony, counterpoint, or composition?
Is this real life?
that must have been an amazing scene in the voice over studio.
I am stunned, baffled, beyond laughter giddy happy glorious WTF omg horses!
You fucking so fucking just made my day. For real.
Did anyone else catch the baboon that seems to have just fallen rubbing his bum all “owch that heeewt!” ??? Get me that ambulance, mind hospital, stet.
“Did anyone else catch the baboon that seems to have just fallen rubbing his bum all “owch that heeewt!” ???”
it is safe to say that blondie’s IQ lies in the double digits.
Yeah! Round about 150! Thanks for asking lame band from the 90s!
wow i was correct! they ARE fucking retarded.
Did any of you guys ever babysit kids who were homeschooled? And they were allowed to stay up and watch something on VHS as a special treat? Because I’m getting flashbacks to that. OF COURSE this thing had a “Family Values Consultant.”
Shine On Me has NOTHING on this.
btw – these songs were made in songsmith.
Ha, I thought of that the second I saw this post, before I’d even watched the videos. I couldn’t remember what it was called so I was about to go on an internet hunt for it. Thank you.
Between the robbers and the horses and the WTF, this has been a great day for Videogum. Let’s all celebrate!
To be fair, teaching all those animals to sing probably cost a good portion of that 25 million. You gotta pay for good singing coaches these days.
Don’t forget that the soundtracks slide whistle players demanded to be paid in large diamonds.
except nobody posted the trailer for the dirty garage. which is like juno and garden state and the puffy chair and joe swanbergs home erotica tapes all rolled into one movie of DEAR GOD STOP RUINING THE MOVIES MUMBLERS
This is the first time a videogum post has rendered me incapable of speaking coherent words. I literally stared at the screen after watching the trailer for a good 15-20 seconds going “a-buh-a-buh-a-buh….”
Who the hell hears the idea for that and says, “THAT’S FANTASTIC. HERE, TAKE ALL THE MONEY YOU WANT. I CLEARLY WON’T BE NEEDING IT IN THIS SHAKY ECONOMY.” I think Barack Obama is going about this broken economy thing the wrong way. Clearly all he needs to do is go around asking money to create a huge fantasy animal musical romance and then use it to stabilize the banks and provide everyone with health care.
Problem solved.
25 million and they couldn’t get a unicorn? Just a white horse?
btw, That’s your boyfriend’s cinematic debut.
So what did they do with the other 24,999,999 dollars?
The Hunt for the BEST Movie Ever is obviously over.
I love how many of you nerdburgers are taking this thing seriously.
“WHUT? THIS IS NOT HIPSTER TV COMEDY I IS USED TO.”
I’ve been watching the preview time after time. Best moment of the year? 0:36
Tell me this is real, this must to be real!!!
oh
my
god
“Mi-ass-ma”
Sucks to your assmar.
Is this forever?
I’d love to see the pitch meeting. “I got the idea for the story when I was playing with my stuffed toys at my mom’s house…the other night. It’s The Lion King meets Scientology…in REAL LIFE. And it’s all done by MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” (throws hands in the air, does a little jump, dances excitedly in place for the remainder of the pitch meeting).
The Room Goes all Animal Kingdom
Money laundering has a new face. A horse face, that is.
WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF CONTINENT ARE THEY ON?! Where on Earth do monkeys, horses, owls, and parrots occur naturally in the same CLIMATE, let alone the same forest or whatever that is?!
I mean, the fact that they’re all singing is perfectly normal, and the Miasma thingy makes total sense, but THIS…
Uh, OBVIOUSLY it’s America. “The sky is the Rocky Mountain sky!”
what did i just watch.
JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY ALWAYS.
This is making my year!
a close friend of mine worked on this, and i assure you, it is completely real. they’ve spent a lot of money on it, but that $25 million figure is wrong – i’m pretty sure that’s the budget they WANT to make the whole movie. think closer to the 100K range, which is still a baffling amount of money to spend on this…whatever this is. i’m still amazed that this made it here.
