Thanks C-3PO! Wow, cool that you caught an advanced screening. I agree, Ratatouille is probably Pixar’s most inspiring and ‘feel-good’ movie (ie It’s the one that makes you want to get up and just cook, or paint, or take on the world in general). 
Haha, I still remember your post from last year, TSS. I was amazed my vid could evoke such emotions from someone I’ve never met, and that’s when I realised the power of music videos (in general). Gosh, I didn’t expect my video to be that moving! 
And thanks for the comments!
Yup, BDD, every year Singapore releases a new music video to that year’s NDP theme (which is sort of the song they sing to celebrate the nation’s independence and get the citizens into an uplifting, sort of patriotic mood). It’s the only country I know which has a new government-produced Independence Day song, if you will, every year (well, since 1999 thereabouts, and maybe one/two years they just repeated the previous year’s one). Some cynics see this as a propaganda exercise, but I don’t see anything wrong with a little patriotism every now and then, even if it’s only once a year. But yeah, when I was first thinking of how to produce my first fan MV, I thought Singapore’s NDP would be a suitable occasion to celebrate. I listened to all the previous years’ NDP themes, and I instantly thought of Ratatouille’s message of perserverance and ‘succeeding against all odds’ when I heard Stefanie Sun’s lyrics. Remy’s journey also paralleled S’pore’s history in that they started off small and went on to greater things, so yeah, that was an epiphany for me.
Sorry, I blabbered. 
But I’m really glad you liked it, BDD!
For anyone who wants to see Stefanie Sun’s music video in its original context, here’s the official MV (with better-quality stereo than vids posted earlier, I used this video’s audio to replace my music video’s older one before the reupload).
And on a related note, you might want to hear me simultaneously sing karaoke in Singlish for my first Literal Music Video. 
Then again, maybe not.
