Man, the I hear babies cry segment just got me emotional. Louis Armstrong’s lyrics combined with the adorable baby hand reaching out for the parent is simply heartwarming 😭
“…I watch them grow. They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know.” That part just gets my heart every single time. Those same babies who need us just to survive may someday be more intelligent and capable than we are. It’s a melancholy thought, but also gives hope for the future.
A Korean guy stole the routine and he was so upset because he said the baby was his own child that he was representing . And the Louis Armstrong family didn't even charge him to use the music they thought this was so good
The puppets themselves are impressive but what really blew me away was the timing. Felt like I was watching a video edited with precise cuts and camera movement, but it was just this guy’s hands moving in-front of a spotlight
I can't describe how astounded I am that I found this again, by chance. The first time I saw this I was amazed, shortly after I bought the first "big" purchase of $15-$30 my parents let me spend on a book of hand-shadows. I could make the old man and the rabbit from this clip, I can still remember how to make the rabbit. This is a huge chunk of my childhood and brings back so many associated memories.
Wow. I remember seeing this guy live back when I was a little kid, and being absolutely blown away by his talent. It was like magic. He was selling books in the foyer afterwards and I got my parents to buy me one. It taught you how to do all of the shadow puppets shown in this video. I briefly spoke to him too, and he seemed like a really nice man who was happy to talk to a random kid about his craft.
More than you realize then. The song was written and preformed by Louis Armstrong. The first puppet to appear was An incredible shadow puppet of Louis Armstrong. And it was spot on.
Yeah all these comments saying it's simple yet done so masterfully blah blah like don't talk down wth he just did like how you belittle sb then talk em up stupid fucking sheep comments
This guy is producing better scene-to-scene motion transitions with his hands than I've ever been able to within 10 minutes using a mouse and keyboard in After Effects. God tier talent, pure art.
This was great. I really like the small details that were added like the twitching of the horses ears, the goose cleaning itself as well as the rabbit. They were things that didn’t need to be added but just made it so much more realistic.
It's beautiful! I work in puppetry and one of the most important things with any type of puppetry is breath - the puppeteer must always remember that if you want the puppet to seem alive, you must always think about how the puppet would breathe.
My parents showed me this video as one of the first "viral stuff" that was around there at that time. Many years later, I've unlocked this memory and now I'm enjoying it at 3AM. Marvelous!
I remembered this! I saw it when it happened and it’s been in the farthest back corners of my mind. I have wanted to look for it for so so long. I can’t believe I found it the part I remembered was 1:22. It stuck with me since I saw it and for some reason it meant something to me. I doubt it matters to anyone else but it reminds me of a part in my life when I didn’t need to care. I can’t begin to actually describe what this really means to me to have found it. God bless all of you people. Remember something beautiful for me.
You definitely aren't alone. I just came here from Reddit after posting about that exact part. I first saw this when I was really young, and that part was always the part I remembered clearly. I feel exactly the same as you.
This comment is beautiful, so it will be one of the many beautiful things I will remember! Thank you for writing this, and God bless you too, Man of Steel! Have an amazing week! :)

A couple days ago I found out I was terminally ill and was looking back at photos of myself as a child when i stumbled upon a photo of my sister and I as children putting on a shadow puppet show. Inspired by such a simple pleasure, I dove into the world of shadow puppets and quickly discovered this video. It truly is incredible. I just found out today that a cure has been discovered and really thought to myself, “What a wonderful world.”
this was randomly recommended to me. but for anyone who doesn't know, this clip is originally from an Australian music quiz show called spicks and specks which ran on ABC (Australian BBC) all throughout the 2000s and for the first half of the 2010s. that show, along with top gear and many other shows on the ABC family of channels were my childhood. at the end of each episode, they'd have some kind of performance, either by someone mentioned or someone on the episode, it was really fun and the host, team captains and guests had great chemistry together. they tried to reboot spicks and specks with new people in 2017 I think, but it completely flopped cause the people on the show didn't work together at all. from what I know, the reboot only had one episode because of how shit it was.
When I was in third grade my music teacher would show us this video every single day and I seriously haven’t forgotten it since and it all of a sudden showed up on my recommended. Brings back memories.
Hello everyone, and welcome to this incredible world of shadow hand puppets! In this segment from 'Spics and Specs,' Raymond Crowe showcases his awe-inspiring artistry with deft hand movements and a stunning command of light and shadow.

This is beautiful! The technique, of course, but also the narrative… and the details, sort of little side notes, and the fact that all the world is singing… wonderful piece of art, so glad I clicked on it!
this reminds me when my dad, brother and I would always do shadow puppet shows on the wall before going to sleep 15 years ago. How time goes by now I am in college
Age does not matter my guy ;) People sometimes forget how beautiful the world is, because we are surrounded with news and negative views :) Edit: (me included)
@ChaosLord5129 yeah but shadow puppetry is different, it isn't like puppetry where you have a fully created puppet for you and have to move around, you actually have to make sure your hands are just right to make a good silhouette, like the man opening his eye in the first part of the song, and also make sure you are making your hand do it perfectly, like the bunny who hops around, and also, the first example i chose. It sounds simple, but its hard to do these specific silhouettes..
@ChaosLord5129 also, what about stunt performers, they fully perform their tricks and stunts, but they have to do it perfectly unless there is something that cushions their fall. (Which i think is common)
@ChaosLord5129 it's not the hardest, but it's up there. The hardest is being a daredevil, they can't even practice first. (unless they have a place to practice)
Remember that one of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's flashback where he actually met the guy with big hands who is good at puppet shadowing? Here he is now, becoming successful. Where did the years go?
see, this is one of the jewels of early 2000s. pure nostalgia. I'm sure we all remember going downstairs, making cereal, and sitting in front of the tv before anyone else was awake, or staying up late watching things like this or Bob Ross. good times
@@dinosharttt How so? I only see the shadow of Louis Armstrong singing. Is the fact of portraying such a thing equivalent to being racist? Can nobody no longer represent a person of colour without having fingers pointed at them? This performer didn't poke fun at Armstrong for his appearance, race or mannerisms. He, to the extent of his abilities, tried to make a discernible shadow of the man himself, and even paid tribute to one of his themes. Honestly, you people need to stop trying to find excuses to be offended in every crevice and start enjoying simple, inoffensive things like these.

I remember watching this in primary school, and it was the coolest thing they have ever seen. And then whenever it was sunny, everyone tried to be like him and failed miserably .
I remember watching this with my brother and sister at my grandmas house in like 2008. Good times. One of the few good memories I have of my brother before he passed.
This video made me do something I haven’t done in forever: Crying. When 1:21 just happens, it removes all the bottled tears that have been stuck for too long.
I teared up watching this. He really did this song justice. Thank you 🙏🏾 for posting this extraordinary talent that plays the greatest song in the world. R.I.P Louis Armstrong 🌈What a wonderful world 🌎💐🌺
I remember that my Dad used to have this computer and he liked to upload videos in it from his flashdrive since we didn't have Internet at that time. A version of this shadow play was one of the videos, without the crowd laughing. I remember trying to replicate the shadow rabbits as a kid It was one of my favourite videos in the old pc, I'm glad this got recommended to me

My teacher played this for us back in 3rd or 4th grade and I was just hit with the biggest wave of nostalgia.

I’ve only seen this level of talent in shadow puppetry in animation, but I never knew it was possible in real life.
It”s truly amazing how all of those hand puppets were made in the span of 1 second, especially including the crazy transitions! Incredible
Jokes and nostalgia aside, that is some real talent
9 years later and this is still an amazing watch
This is so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye! Especially the baby holding their mom's hand 😢
I remember watching this with my brother and sister at my grandmas house in like 2008. Good times. One of the few good memories I have of my brother before he passed.
This brings back so many nostalgic memories, such simpler times
This video made me do something I haven’t done in forever: Crying. When 1:21 just happens, it removes all the bottled tears that have been stuck for too long.
Good to cry sometimes
was reminded of this video by a thing on FB and yes, 1:21 makes me cry too
This is simply peaceful and beautiful at the same time
i love how the person really studied the movements and behaviours of the animals they represented
I don't know why this brought tears to my eyes. It's so beautiful. Art comes in so many forms and never seizes to amaze me
ceases
this was an absolutely INCREDIBLE performance
i love when people just have fun and being happy while showing others what makes them happy
It makes me smile and nice to hear people luaghing and they're happy
Beautiful song.
Beautiful talent.
I remember seeing this on TV when I was little, and it was the first time I heard this music. I'll never forget it !
That rabbit is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen, wow...
This reminds me of watching a different artist doing this technique on the old Ed Sullivan show. Both are very talented.
Does this guy still perform? He's amazing
Don’t think so
@@darrylkemp3253 you, and the guy that left the stupid comment are both around equally funny to me, for similar reasons.
@@RedNayl I don't know of that was complimentary, so thanks ???
@@darrylkemp3253 👊 Anytime 😎
@@darrylkemp3253 Jesus stop turning this into political shit you idiot
Ok that was actually sick! Who would thought it was possible to so thoroughly enjoy shadow puppets 😆.
Rewatched this never gets old ❤
2019 still a classic❤
2021...agreed

This is the weirdest thing I’ve accidentally came across and wasn’t upset or distraught about. This is some quality stuff man. Well done
It’s nice to get this recommended this every once in a while, it helps sooth the soul
I remember that my Dad used to have this computer and he liked to upload videos in it from his flashdrive since we didn't have Internet at that time. A version of this shadow play was one of the videos, without the crowd laughing. I remember trying to replicate the shadow rabbits as a kid
It was one of my favourite videos in the old pc, I'm glad this got recommended to me
I didn't even know any of that was possible wow that's amazing and very talented.
I believe this is the official music video for this song.
okay but that rabbit one was so impressive
It's masterful how he gives a certain 'character' to the characters.
Can we seriously talk about how real the *art* LOOKED?!?!
Beautiful performance i had tears dripping a lot 😭🥲thank you for sharing !
Hearing people being happy makes me feel happy inside ♥️☮️
