This atrocity may be the Worst Adaptation EVER of any best-selling novel. Even the author himself has denounced this movie on his blog, writing: "...I'd warn everyone as best I could, probably standing out by the entrance to the freeway shouting "Don't go and see the Anansi Boys film! They've made them all rabbits! It's now a caper movie set in a chocolate factory!" at the uncaring people driving past..." Link: http://journal.neilgaiman.com/... --- EDIT, 2008: I´m truly amazed at the wit and candor of some of the comments I´ve recently recieved on this video. How can you read the description above - link and all - and not get it? Alternativly: what kind of people feel the need to comment on a video when they can´t even be bothered to read the description first?

Hilarious. Excellent music choices.

Correct, it´s Jerry Goldsmith. My bad, sorry.

Jerry Goldsmith, not Danny Elfman.

"I think if I didn't like something I'd probably take the Thumper (from Bambi) option and not say anything, unless I felt the world needed to be warned, and then I'd have to choose my words carefully, unless I really really felt the world needed to be warned, in which case I'd warn everyone as best I could, probably standing out by the entrance to the freeway shouting "Don't go and see the Anansi Boys film! They've made them all rabbits! It's now a caper movie set in a chocolate factory!...etc

Lol, I love the attention span of the average human, PICTURES NOW! OMFG THIS SUX!

Well, I guess I could retort by pointing out that mr Gaiman himself has linked to this video from his blog, or I COULD inquire wich part of the description that comes with this video that was unclear to you... ...but then I would just be repeating myself again. :-)

what the hell is this?? splicing scenes from "song of the south" and "watership down" together with music from "gremlins" to mock "anansi boys"? what a lame idea. get another hobby, because making videos that spoof good books just isn't working out.

This is hysterical.

Yeah, Neil Gaiman riding on his own coat-tails is so gauche. 9_9

The music from the latter half is "Gremlin Rag" by Danny Elfman. It is not uncommon for commercial trailers to recycle music from other movies :-)
