For more info on the hows/whys and character/Trek analysis, click on the 'Making of' video below (some spoilers).

As well as those credited, I'd like to extend a huge thank you to all the fans I've met on my travels and online, whose enthusiastic response to my "real life" Kirk encouraged the production of this small flavor of possibility...

Score composed by musical maestro @pazak, who is also here, so give her a follow!

I hope you enjoy it!

The Gimli Glider is one of those stories where every aspect sounds more fake than the last and yet it all actually happened.

-A passenger plane was underloaded with fuel because Canada had just converted to the metric system and everyone supposed to double check their numbers got it wrong. -When the plane ran out of fuel they were too far away to make it to an in-service airport and had to head towards the Gimli military base.  Which was shuttered. -They were coming in to fast due to a lack of flaps control and had to perform a series of slips (as shown in the video above) to slow down, basically drifting a giant passenger plane. -As they come down they realized that just because Gimli’s been decommissioned doesn’t mean it’s abandoned because a bunch of people are having drag races on the runway they’re about to need. -Despite everything they managed to land safely and no one was killed or even hurt which is why it’s one of the best air disasters to meme on.

The Wikipedia page on this is fantastic and my favorite line from it is “Flying with all engines out was never expected to occur, so it had never been covered in training.”

I’ll try my best to describe this. It’s a video with a mash-up of a bunch of different Disney movies, set to a song that’s a mash-up of a bunch of other songs. That in and of itself wouldn’t make it praiseworthy, but this is DONE SO WELL that just, holy cow.

HOLY SHIT

To piggyback off @pomrania: remember the commercials during the Disney renaissance for the Masterpiece Collection? (Holy shit, I’m officially old.)

If they’d had modern levels of computer technology back then, this would have been one of those commercials.

It’s THAT smoothly done.

Also? As a person who’s hard of hearing: while the lip sync isn’t perfect if you know how to lipread, it is DAMN close. Like. This creator literally took the time to match the clips to the lyrics. That by itself is difficult enough, but to then do it AND time the shots to flow seamlessly into each other?

Someday I want someone to love me the way this creator loves Disney, is what I’m saying.

Next. Level.
