@TheOfficialARK All character animation is cut out. The only bit of drawn animation I did was for the fire and water during the witch melting scene.

[TheOfficialARK]

Did you do cut out here or did you draw each keypose?

Congrats on winning! Your work is incredible.

[terrahjeanette]

Did anyone else try to count the number of Pogo symbols?

[terrahjeanette]

Did anyone else try to count the number of pogo symbols?

[HanoverrrFist]

@terrahjeanette Yes. Eight. See earlier comments for exact times: Midair tornado, munchkin bush, scarecrow fly, glinda snowflake, winged monkey, fight cloud, voodoo doll, balloon distraction.

[MrKoolTrix]

You won! Great work!

[Ifurget]

@ben8228 I animated in Adobe Flash and edited in Adobe Premiere

[soulbrotha63]

Congratulations! This is a wonderful piece of work and you deserve it. Kudos.

[ben8228]

what did you use to make this?

[anzin74]

Although I'm sad that activeobjectx didn't win, this is still a great video which took a massive amount of skill, creativity, and time to create.

So congratulations, Reed! Hope this win will further your recognition amongst the Youtube community, and maybe even a producer looking for your type of talent! :)

[MicrowaveableTV]

This is awesome!

Amazing! Fantastic video! =-)

I LOVE!!! the Space Bunny appearing everywhere! Really shows your love for POGO

gret vid, and remember everyone, VOTE!!!

[FilmFanatic5]

I love it, your work deserves to be on cartoon network. Fabulous!!

[flixization]

Wow it's neck and neck as of right now. You might beat stick-man!!

[MissAussieGurl1996]

fantastic! really awesome XD favourited for sure! <3

[HanoverrrFist]

Oops, make that eight Pogo bunnies. :)

[HanoverrrFist]

This is an excellent video and you have my vote!

Your minimalist animation is great and you did a wonderful job plotting the entire movie in 4.2 minutes. I also liked the seven(?) Pogo bunny cameos.

Good luck FTW.

[MightyTabooTiki]

Excellent solution to a problem, beautifully animated and tells a story. Congrats.

[MusoDevilChan]

I like how this tells the story ^-^ over Pogo's mix *vote*

[SillyIncantations]

Pogo symbol in the fighting cloud at 2:45 xD

[AnInfinitethereality]

VOTE FOR THIS ONE!!!!!! Much more replay value. The other one gets old after a while.

[rubberduckiejr]

I really like how you inncorpreated Pogo's logo into the video. It was a very nice touch. :)

[Xloi63]

A mere 12-ish votes are keeping this video from winning! Vote people, so this work of art can win and get this artist the recognition he/she needs!!!!!

[MatrixxH]

This is my favorite of the bunch - that being said, I can sort of tell that this video could have been better with more time and polish (there are a lot of short periods where barely anything is moving at all). I think just having the background characters move a little even if they're not the focus of the action, or to make the background elements move or sway somehow with the music, it would be even better! I would love to see a touched up version.

[Mr0ldy]

@MatrixxH

I disagree. I think those moments fit extremely well with the rhythm of the music.

[TheUndergroundView]

Everybody's got to VOTE THIS AT THE POGO SITE. There are seriously no hoops to jump through, you go there and CLICK IFURGET. Can't believe this is actually neck-and-neck with that f**king stupid stick-figure. I thought the real competition would be those other two that actually INVOLVE Wizard of Oz.

[Steelys4me]

@TheUndergroundView What's wrong with the stick figure?

[ben401334]

I couldn't stop smiling :)

[cbatomakeausername]

that is awesome! you've got great talent, good luck with the competition

[TakeWalker]

Best of luck in the competition! (It's so close!)

[eastercat]

wow, really beautiful!

[GreatColors]

To you idiots complaining about how the video only delivers the story and doesn't tie in well with the music; if you look carefully, 99% of the video is synchronized with the song. This one should win. It's beautiful, cute, it blew pogo away, and had a ton of effort put into it. Plus it made Dorothy look like the badass that she is. This is an extremely clever animation. Remember that pogo tells the story in his videos as the music is playing. This isn't a bunch of endless loops like the others.

[TechBearSeattle]

Just remember: voting this up here WILL NOT HELP HIM WIN! You must go to Pogo's website, pogomix.net, and vote there. You only have until midnight (western Australia time, I'm assuming) of June 26 to cast your vote.

[maddiemoomoo4]

whats with the random bunny?

[TechBearSeattle]

@maddiemoomoo4 - That's Pogo's "space bunny" logo. I think it's a very clever way of tying the video in with the song.

[TheSchmuck2]

this should just be seen by every person on the internet.

[thisfreemind]

Whoa, this is fabulous! So well matched to the track. I love the transitions (especially the broken glass --> flying monkeys) Superb!!!

[zac1526]

This is amazing, keep up the great work!

[L0rdDragondog]

I love this one so much. It keeps me interested until the end. Gets my vote. I hope you win~

[plusran]

This is fantastic! I love this animation. I hope you win.

[kazuiami]

This video has a lot of things going well for it. The visuals, while obviously a flash animation, are faithful to Pogo's modern sound. I wish there was a consistent flow of motion ( like at 2:00 to 2:05 ). It's too grounded in delivering the movie and all it's little details. I was very bored from :34 to 1:08 for that reason.

Still the best vid of the bunch. Good luck!

[DarkSilverIce]

honestly i dnt like this one due too its only one thing trying too tell just a story yea thats one of the main things but thats all its doing i dnt see it syncing up with them song n doesnt really make me wanna watch it while i listen too the song activeobjectx i love due too he has pogo in the video its simple yet very eye catching n creative synces with the song perfect n also shows how people feel n think wen they listen too pogo's music n thats a hard thing too show so big props too him

[jako023]

the animation was beautiful, it had my eyes glued to the screen, i loved the hidden space bunnies everywhere, they were a really ingenious touch

you definitely have my vote,bravo and good job :D!

[skylards99]

I just watched the whole Wizards of Oz movie under 5 minutes. This is awesome.

[gregtestagent]

I really like this one, with the quaint animated characters, and the showing the basics of the whole story. I think the other video that synced up the real movie might win though. I don't like the comments about how this isn't how a Pogo music video should be. Missed. The. Point. Entirely. It's not about what Pogo would do or not, it's about these talented people showing us their magic!

[TechBearSeattle]

Very nice, and excellent use of Pogo's logo! 

[aKitti234]

This is really good animation, and I love the colors and the art and just the overall well-fitting-ness with the remix. :D Great job! I hope you win XD

[Coolio2314]

HOW THE HELL DID YOU DI THIS????

[Boodrowski53]

This is my favorite :)

[lollsazz]

Awesome animation, but deserves way better music...

[maridude]

i am totally subscribing

[keesvdijkhuizen]

LOVE this one! I voted! good luck in the contest!!

[2milho]

2:47 watch for POGO!!! easter egg, did u notice?

[skyperlx]

i think you should win you had alot of work on your hands for this i like this one also that is why you should win

[xeniarocks]

I love it

[zimnomel]

Wow, a gorgeous piece of animation with a fitting atmosphere. Keep it up!

[nigahiga68]

House?

BROOM!

[AikaAddict]

Rhaping Replay Button FTW! >_<

[VoiceMyDreams]

Brilliant piece! c: I think he'll have to choose you, or at least have you as his last two choices. Great work! You're a wonderful animator! This was adorable and kept a nice, smooth pace with everything! >w<

[kikiperson00]

I do hope you keep this up even after the contest. I like this video best. c:

[Amzingred]

This was a brilliant take on wizard of oz. Very well done. I feel like a jackass in having to say the next part. Where this does show indeed great creativity, it just doesn't come across where I look at this video and I am going, "this is a Pogo-like video." But don't get me wrong, this was really good. I would recommend that you should continue this type of art and use previous pogo tracks and summarize that movie as well with this style. Well done.

[oddrey52]

If it were up to me you would be winning by a landslide.

[iamblackthorne]

I really hope you win... this is the smoothest and most professional of them all!

[NosotrosLosOrtiz]

this is art. gg

[edlover333]

THIS IS AMAZING

[ThinVin]

This looks like an RPG haha :) Love it

[CloudChaserFX]

That was rather cute and fun to watch =)

[Bluegoo]

I didn't like the song at first, but watching your video made me like it. I hope you win buddy!

[TheFilmfreak123]

Great video! i like how the pogo bunny appears now and then :D

[theDandyDroog]

Very charming art style and you kept the song in synch with the story. You definitely got my vote.

[chiixichigo]

This is so light and fun and adorable, I love how everything flows! This is very well made and positively gorgeous!

[Tsutsunade35]

Super !!

[DangBetch]

I love how the Pogo bunny logo shows up behind the bushes at 0:37 ^-^

[SaveThePerishables]

This is incredible.

[masterscheme1]

This is the most visually attractive one. But it doesn't flow as well with the beat. I don't want to dance when I see this... I just watch the story unfold once... and thats it.

[TheHoboFrog]

@masterscheme1 i totally agree... its very awesome but not perfect for this song's beat and rhythm.

[MarioMan19]

861 votes for this compared to the 912 votes for the one with the same shot of that Stick Figure.

I'm not saying that one is bad, but we definitely need to give this a boost.

[XhiphopkittyX]

@MarioMan19 I agree. I think this entry deserves a bit more praise and credit than the stick figure video.

[TechBearSeattle]

@XhiphopkittyX - The scribble animation is brilliant and deserves the kudos it's getting. I still think this one should win. It tells the story, is very well crafted and syncs beautifully to the music. Reed Gauthier, the guy who made this, definitely has a future in animation.

[timmowarner]

I'm voting for this!

[SMGleader]

my vote

[DeadPandaTits]

superb, you deserve to win

[happymealmobster]

wow this is the best one ive seen

[WaldronicTomotron]

I've actually watched this three times, amazing how well it integrates with the music.

[MeAndMyMindful]

That was amazing! Clever and cute animation, I was entertained the whole time!

(Even if she's just a profiled silhouette, darnit isn't Dorothy cute? Just wanna hug the little picture!)

[SpesN4z]

0:37 Space Bunny :3 ♥

[pengwinn]

Love the flashes of the Pogo Logo. (I think I saw some anyway!)

[brymas109]

This entry is currently 2nd. Please consider this: This is original, the mash-up of actual video from "The Wizard of Oz" is an uninspired copy of how "Pogo" does all of his videos. While it is not a bad thing, the video shown shows true vision, therefore should be the winner. I suppose it is a contest though, so may the best win.

[CHAWIZAWD]

Congrats on top 5 :D

[kavinheartsbabez]

this is the best one in my opinion

[moccamonster]

Close call between this and the other animated one but you have my vote. Love this.

[MaJoDo]

@Ifurget pogomix (dot) net

[DManSammy]

I can't tell you how frustrated I am that this vid, with all its epicness, is STILL in 2nd place at the polls!!! D< No offense to the 1st-place vid, but this one is WAY richer in terms of eye candy.

[IsSense]

boring and no sense at all whit the music

[otaku12fox]

@IsSense i bet u couldnt make something like this

[maethangel]

greatness inspired by greatness. 

[bra13vo]

I love this... great story-telling..

awesome synchronization! easy on the eye graphic.. which is sweet!!

[swamphox]

Space Bunny at 0:38

[EllenRebecca3]

Sweet! ^_^

[makeshiftwisemonkey]

well done. tis beautiful

[Shicks0]

2:21 Pogo Bunny was amazing ;-)

[Iamjustherek]

This was beautiful! I love the Pogo logo stuck around! And the animation was phenomenal!

[Necromanticman]

I saw the pogo space bunny logo at 0:37 & 2:45

[MaJoDo]

The music flows perfectly with the story. It's the perfect abridged version of the movie and music. If this one doesn't win the contest, I will never understand why. I hope you WIN!!!! You deserve it, for sure.

[whiteshadow247]

Nice animations and music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whiteshadow247]

@whiteshadow247 and i know the music is from Pogo im just sayin. but great animations!!!!!

[Wizard488]

I think we have a winner. You get my vote! This compliments the track well.

[bakerybabe29]

The glass shard to monkey wing was awesome!

[rockstar3541]

Gezuz! That was amazing! Did you have to watch the whole wizard of oz again? Seriously, you have my vote. I was mesmerized by it!

(Now I get to tell my friends that I can tell them the wizard of oz in 4 minutes)

[nigahiga68]

Wizard of Oz in four minutes.

[masterscheme1]

Beautiful and prolly the best looking one. But Pogo needs a video that moves with the beat.... or its not Pogo.

[TillDawnProductions]

my fav video! beautiful artwork - great job!

[Fall0utAtTheDisco]

this is insane man, well done! reaaly appreciate all the time and work that went into this!

[MarioMan19]

Come on guys, let's boost the votes up!

[SociallyAwkward911]

this one isn't quite as redundant as the others. it moves forward at a steady pace

[BlueNeptune1963]

dammit this is some brilliant animation, just superb! i loved it! <3

[stringsin]

nnnnrgg THIS ROCKS

[Animetalchick]

My vote goes to this video :)! You timed the animation perfectly and it's very charming.

[Ifurget]

@MotherFailure You win! You found them all! :D Thought no one would catch the fly

[DManSammy]

@Ifurget To be honest, I almost considered NOT counting the fly....but after counting the rest, it made sense...

What really got ME was the "space bunny"....XDDD

[NyTzUcOsT]

2:57 Pogo Budu???

[anancybrown]

That was great!

[MotherFailure]

0:28 flying in the tornado , 0:38 beside the lolipop guild in bush on right , 1:18 the fly that came out of scare crow , 1:51 one of the snowflakes , 2:20 one of the monkeys , 2:49 in the cloud during the fight , 2:58 on the shelf , 3:51 distracts the dog. Do I win?

[ahoycapnlizzie]

uhhh?

[MrFijianBiscuit]

you got my vote

[Rose13]

This video is really awesome, but I don't feel it fits the song :/. I really enjoy it and wish you the best of luck :3!

[DManSammy]

holy crap!!!! when you said "space bunny", you really meant it!! XDD

that would be a hint to all those who haven't found all 8 of them yet. :)

you def. deserve 2 win...^.^d

[Bobesque]

simplicity at its best!

[CelticCellist]

This is adorable!

[muckachuckle]

Very cute and good animation, but I found that it didn't connect to all the sounds that Pogo used in the song. Great job otherwise! :)

[WinglessFlutters]

WOOOAH. Yup, votes for this one!

[BOomeek]

I love your style! 

[justjayit777]

wow dude that's gorgeous

[544001]

voting for this one

[SteamyDumpling]

I LOVED the cleverly placed Pogo's symbol in this mv. 

[twistedstraws]

this one is super creative but i feel it could have been a little more musical or went with the music a little more. but good job nonetheless.

[DManSammy]

I just noticed during the tornado scene that everything moves in rhythm, including when Dorothy and Toto jump/run...nice detail!!

[Vanetaure]

Weeeeee, got 7 of 8 Pogo's logo :D

[cangriman0101]

4 dislikes, 4 other people in the top 5 competing.... coincidence?

[lolitsmatt]

@cangriman0101 i didnt dislike it. I liked it!
