this link is to a fan made Abarat trailer on Youtube from 2207. Not sure if you guys have seen it or not, it's soo funny! some little kid is dressed up in a cape and is supposed to be Carrion, I nearly died of laughter, you need to see this !

It looks as if her little brother has been bribed into a staring role.

[worldfantasygirl]

probably bribed with cookies, he obviously doesn't know what he is doing or how important his role is.

[RedStockings]

He's letting the side down. Surely there must be someone who is 6ft tall, who can put a cloak on? Especially if there is cookies in the offering!

Has anyone seen this one?: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mE9rUIgNFE
I have to say I actually quite enjoyed watching this, although it was rather a shock to see it contained some of my own fanart Although on one hand it's totally random, on the other it's actually pretty good. The song lyrics are very relevant and is a good choice, and all the characters featured are the 'nice' ones. It's good to see the 'nice' characters getting some facetime.
Is this vid made by anyone on here? (Since there only seems to be a handful of Abarat fans in the world, and we are them....)

[worldfantasygirl]

I have seen that, it's pretty good. I did not make it though

[worldfantasygirl]

I found another one, it was by an english teacher trying to get the kids to read abarat. It's composed of different movie clips from:
-harry Potter
-pirates of the carribean
-city of ember
-blood and chocolate
-twilight (ick)
-narnia

it's quite scandalizing, implying that voldemort is cc and that the little girl from the city of ember is candy, it's horrifying but you have to watch it. It would be good if it didn't imply that and I know they meant well, but... have a look for yourself:

Well, whoever it was had pretty good editing skillz, I must admit. But all those one-lined quotes at the end seemed like he made them up.

@2:51, that looks like Babilonium.

[worldfantasygirl]

true, the editing is rather good, but I do not remember every seeing those the one lined quotes before on Abarat, not on the book and not on the website, pretty sure about that.

[RedStockings]

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean about this being 'horrifying' ... I feel like I've missed something . The editing of the vid is indeed pretty darn good, but I found many of the clips shown so dark that I couldn't even see what was going on. But the ones I could see seemed to fit in well. ;D

[worldfantasygirl]

I thought it was rather weird mostly, how would you promote a book if you use clips from something the book doesn't even contain? I didn't like the usage of other characters in movies and try to show them as Abarat characters, it just struck me as wrong. I now that may seem strange, but they really just made up something so completely different from what Abarat is,in my opinion, and I felt sort of shocked. Call me a weirdo, but thats how I felt.

[caitycat66]

I've seen the one with the little kid before; I couldn't decide whether to scream or laugh.

worldfantasygirl: The quote underneath your last post is an absolutely beautiful way of saying what all of us feel.

[worldfantasygirl]

thanks! I thought it was the best way to put it

edit: just noticed your signature caity, I love it! It's so messed in a good way

[worldfantasygirl]

IRONY ALERT!! I was randomly searching Christopher Carrion on google (long story, really bored) and I found this guy on Youtube named Chris Carrion (no relation) and he was singing a song by kanye west called "See you in my Nightmares" I lol'd big time. I have not seen the video, but if you want too, go ahead.

[RedStockings]

Haha, how funny... and weird.

[carrionsprincess]

Hahaha I've seen the "Abarat Trailer" and I too was horrified at the image of "Carrion". I couldnt believe how...short he was, among other things XD

As for that teacher-made video, I understand what you mean Worldfantasygirl, the one that made me the most upset was Candy, I dont think she was good for her at ALL! However I have to say I think it was marvelously done, and so many scenes were so spot on I was floored. However the one quote made me die of laughter. "Tentacled" couldnt have come up with a better word??? XD

[worldfantasygirl]

another one- I really change this topic title form youtube video to videos- any way, this was too good to pass up.

A person, doing a review of the second book with a cat puppet- www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_-QKY120eI

EDIT:of all the places in the world, this has too be done at my city's public library- Omg

[THE LADY OF MIDNIGHT]

hahaha what a strange and creepy cat puppet. bahahaha

[carrionsprincess]

ahahahahah Im snorting with laughter

I love how she messes up Candy's name. ^^;

[Usagi]

I'm a little scared... O.o Cute idea, though.
