      Oh, that’s what that thing was in The Great Movie Ride. Never realized how cool it actually is. The coordination is unbelievable

      Absolutely incredible.

      If you feel like getting your heart broken tonight, listen to Busby Berkeley Dreams by The Magnetic Fields

      I was blown away the first time I saw this and it’s still mesmerizing every time I’ve seen it.

      This is only a part of this sequence by the way. I highly recommend finding the full thing.
