I've always wanted to do something like this but never found the right song / was inspired enough until it clicked that I should use THIS song! Beyond the Clouds by Audiomachine, which was used in the HTTYD2 teaser trailer! Does anyone remember it? I sure do, and was really disappointed when it wasn't actually in the movie xD It was on the tip of my tongue and took a while for me to remember the name, but I'm glad I finally did so I could make this video with 3 of my favorite films, all of which are impossible for me to watch without thinking of the other, especially during certain scenes like all the hands reaching out! Among other scenes, but those stand out to me the most.

I guess you could also call this vid a kind of study of how similar they all are. I was also experimenting with some effects, but took them out 'cause they looked really bad lol. At first I was hesitant to add Willy in there since it's live action and the other two are animated, but I knew I could never leave out such a big part of my childhood and what made me love orcas today.

All 3 of these films are very special to me one way or the other and I just had to find a way to bring them all together!

Also taking a risk adding in the names in the YT title. It felt wrong not to include them, but I hope comments don't get disabled if the vid is flagged. Speaking of titles, I played around with the title in the thumbnail which I don't usually do (I always thought it was a bit weird adding the title in the thumbnail when it's already in the YT title, sorry) but I have a lot of free time on my hands right now so why not!
