- Try clicking on the various channels to see videos posted to that channel - if you're into music you can click the Music channel to get more music sifts - go on and explore! Use the "hotness" when you have opened the channel link to get videos that have gotten a lot of votes, or use "newness" to have a look at the new sifts.

If the sifted video is in a play list, have a look at the play list to see other interesting videos the Sift users have linked together.
  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Awesome. This is a brilliant bit of commentary on Disney and Copyright laws. Another bit of delicious irony is that the film was made entirely on Disney equipment. (The film-maker was an employee at the time)

The music at 2:19 blows my mind. The combination of 'Part of Your World' with the Bartok-ish strings and that creepy walking bass line is pretty striking, and the double meaning of the lyrics in this context is perfect.

"I just don't see how a world that makes such a wonderful things could be bad."

bartok-ish indeed. i think it's safe to say, you know the... score.

yet another instance where TV lied to us, as children.

eight is not enough. *requeue
