That was very sweet!: Courtney; | Aug 29, 2008 at 10:44 AM

pretty awesome: Rachel Hutchison; | Aug 29, 2008 at 10:45 AM

WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!: DKN; | Aug 29, 2008 at 10:46 AM

Ohhh!! This was so anerableeeee. I snifflecried a little ;;: Leah; | Aug 29, 2008 at 10:47 AM

Oh My Fking God! I was gonna say Gaia and continent movement about 3 seconds in. Then I thought about global warming (which has happened a lot in the past) except I was wrong. No one to high-five with.: Karen in Toronto; | Aug 29, 2008 at 10:50 AM

awww... That was so sad! =( *sniffs*: JediPirate; | Aug 29, 2008 at 10:53 AM

Awwwwww....that was so cute. @Karen in Toronto: when the ice started to crack I thought the video was about global warming as well.: carmen; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:01 AM

Awww that made me cry! How sweet.: Whitney; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:04 AM

Oh my GAWD. That was awful sad.: Golden or NTKTOK; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:05 AM

Awwwwwwww! I thought it was about global warming as well. It also reminded me of the song "Monkey and Bear" by Joanna Newsom, which if you have like 12 minutes to spare and are really tolerant to squeaky voices, is a really cool song.: Julie; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:10 AM

Ohhhhh! sniff-sniff...Not fair!: Gwenny; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:10 AM

Awwww...enjoyed the friendship...looks like continent movement...need the extra-absorbable tissues with so-soothing lotion...HONK!!: Totalee Puppy; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:11 AM

Karen, Julie, Yeah, that's what I thought as well. And then I was confused: tectonic shift = bad; "reuniting" them back in a zoo = good? Baroo? /not a nuff post: david; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:21 AM

omg, tears. I haven't had a cry for ages. Must be my pms *sniff*: claire; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:22 AM

:( Put perfectly.: Sarah; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:27 AM

I thought it was about global warming too.. I was ganna say... who brought a monkey to the north pole lol: katiedid; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:27 AM

The person who thought this up was, quite simply, a genius. Whether or not the science checks out, it's really clever.: Space Cowgirl; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:28 AM

when does the bear eat the monkey?: tank; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:30 AM

Aw :( That was so sad...*wipes eyes* I thought it was about global warming too...: Red; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:32 AM

I'm desperately trying to hold back the sobs. Must maintain air of cool detachment at work. (Shuddery breath.) I think I'll be ok...eventually.: vonvon; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:34 AM

Ouch! Ouch! MY EARS! OK, so I'm not a fan of children's voices, but YIKES! Couldn't they at least find one who could sing in tune?? Ruined it for me. (Well, that and the thought of how the polar bear would gulp that monkey down in one bite, given the chance.): Juno; | Aug 29, 2008 at 11:55 AM

@ Juno: Hecks yes! I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that. I turned the sound off at the first high note. Absolutely LOATH that song. It just feels manipulative in the laziest way. Ugh. Still: very cute, very sad.: VentureSister; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:03 PM

*sniff* THATS THE SADDEST THING IVE EVER SEEN!! *bawling ensues*: Aspen's cookies; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:08 PM

@Juno and VentureSister: I think it's Fivel's little sister singing. I'm not sure if I'm spelling his name right-- you know, the Polish mouse?: Sarah F.; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:09 PM

The song is from An American Tail; it's the actual children actors' voices from the movie. It's cuter when you see the accompanying visuals. Having said that, yes, it makes me wince as well.: Akela; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:13 PM

Well, the song is from "An American Tail", where it's sung by Feivel and his sister, and Feivel singing off-key is fully intentional and, in the movie, quite fitting. As a song for something unrelated, it's ear-grating. But ... a monkey and a polar bear wouldn't get along. Oh no, they wouldn't. Also, polar bears never lived at the equator. Their ancestors may have (though I'll venture a guess and say they didn't), but they definitely weren't white.: Sebastian Redl; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:13 PM

I'm a big toughy: tattoos, piercings, pet lizards and tickets to Slipknot, yet this song made a tear roll down my cheek. Monkey/bear love=adorable.: darkshines; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:25 PM

It's the polar bear from Lost. :) And "monkey/bear love" sounds like a category on a gay dating site to me.: warrior rabbit; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:33 PM

I love the comment on the YouTube website: "REUNITE PANGAEA!!" *sniff*: turbofloof; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:34 PM

Cute or Sad? That was kind of :-(: Jen1416; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:35 PM

I like the voices, myself... But, man.... so sad... )-: Damn you, plate tectonics!: fish eye no miko; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:41 PM

Put me in the apparent minority that loved the song. An American Tail was a great movie in it's day. And very appropriate for this commershe. \o/: momof2kitties; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:50 PM

Lol, monkey/bear love was not meant to sound dirty, but now I am reading back my own comment on snorting, tee hee!: darkshines; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:53 PM

*sniffle* Perfect. I heart monkeys, polary bears, and Fievel Mousekewitz! (BTW, he's a Russian mouse...not Polish.): LOLBabyMama; | Aug 29, 2008 at 12:59 PM

Someone's gotta say it and it might as well be me that gets beaten up. The Environmental/philosophical underpinnings of these images are about 30 to 40 years behind the times. Shame on the zoo for making such a basic mistake as to suggest that seeing these animals [back] together again is the least bit desirable let alone realistic of the true lives and struggles of Earth's animal populations. Okay, I will leave now.: johnnyjohnny; | Aug 29, 2008 at 01:19 PM

I think it's the little 3 year old girl from America's Got Talent singing. UGH.: Ali; | Aug 29, 2008 at 01:24 PM

darkshines sounds like my dream guy...a guy sensitive enough to be wistful at a sweet video AND is tatted up = num! I support monkey/bear love--get love wherever you can find it!: dementiainellipses; | Aug 29, 2008 at 01:28 PM

I think that the zoo is saying "come and see the loverly animals from all the continents together at our beautiful, state-of-the-art zoo." I doubt they are signaling a return to Pangaea--otherwise, fasten your seat belts; it's going to be a bumpy ride. I thought it was very cute, and I'm a fan of Feivel, so it was all good in my book \o/: jfield; | Aug 29, 2008 at 01:28 PM

cool artwork. very clever. they got me- i'm all misty.: jen; | Aug 29, 2008 at 01:29 PM

Sorry, I am a very sweet girl unfortunately. I'm not fussy though..... ;): darkshines; | Aug 29, 2008 at 01:41 PM

Darn, Fish Eye beat me! I was just about to curse plate tectonics. GMTA.: Laura E.; | Aug 29, 2008 at 01:46 PM

Very sweet! I thought the little girl singing was cute, but then again I am tone deaf. :P: binky-mama; | Aug 29, 2008 at 01:49 PM

Naaah...didn't cry. I would've if they had used "KAITLYN ASHLEY MAYUH!" as she introduced herself on America's Got Talent... To be honest I HATE Somewhere Out There...but when THIS li'l four-year-old sang it, in all her innocence and cuteness, I was bawlin' like a baby at the end! Dunno if anybody else heard her, but hear she is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2vNM5jyuD4: Juniper Jupiter; | Aug 29, 2008 at 01:57 PM

This is a GREAT ad, even with the Disney (and by the way that is an awesome karaoke duet song). Nice to see pen-and-ink animation, too. And something beautiful that some creationists would dismiss as blasphemy.: berthaservant; | Aug 29, 2008 at 02:20 PM

WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!: Jane; | Aug 29, 2008 at 02:23 PM

ah, childhood memories. i remember my very first "big girl undies" were silky Fievel and Tanya ones! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRjb8sMjYu8: Adrienne; | Aug 29, 2008 at 02:41 PM

This song is only second to "Baby Mine" from Dumbo as a tearjerker for me!!! I liked the concept of Pangaea---I thought it was a cool advertisement.: Gail (the first one); | Aug 29, 2008 at 02:44 PM

soo sweet! *sniff*: riolinda; | Aug 29, 2008 at 02:51 PM

Erm ... When the continents broke apart and shifted, neither polar bears nor monkeys existed. It's cute animation, but it can't break through my SCIENTIFIC FOOLISHNESS barrier.: Janie; | Aug 29, 2008 at 02:56 PM

Agreed Gail (the first one)! I've tried to block that song from my memory. :\: Adrienne; | Aug 29, 2008 at 02:56 PM
