@TILEN FABE No, a lot of these live-action dusties are pretty dark, or at least not suitable for kids. In total, I'd judge them individually, as they are all made by different crews. Many of them are like you say stupid, but there are also gems among them that fit the SF label.

[@FoxCatSirena]

That is a SUPER jukebox to not have a scratch & work beautifully through the destruction of earth & not being hit in space! 😄👌 The plathera of tap shoes was an epic touch to make the aliens simply enjoy all these "noises" like us humans once did. This was an absolute pleasure to watch! 😍 I only hope when this happens, it would be similar - the desire & passion to learn & understand us & enjoy such beauty from man & Earth & not just text book understand us.

I thought it was really clever and funny until I realized at the end that we’d apparently blown our planet up. Then I realized it’s clever, funny, and sad.

[@aadams1006]

This is why they were using the song "After You've Gone." Because we, apparently, are gone.

[@sprintershepherd4359]

[@tgbluewolf]

It doesn't look blown up, but I see what looks like lightning flashing under the clouds so I'm guessing the weather killed us off

[@DarkTakanuva]

@@tgbluewolf ah yes, the missing half of the planet and the debris remains of said half of that planet was caused by a really strong tornado

[@robertglass5678]

Hmmm. I interpreted it as this species' way of doing alientology. They destroyed the planet to make it easier to study the culture. At the end the main character was realizing what he'd done.

[@miriammillen588]

How can you not love tap-dancing aliens?! Thank you for making me smile.

[@jehoiakimelidoronila6543]

[@Blowfeld20k]

@stufaman I understanding it fine you condescending goon.I just happen to think its garbage ..... let me explain in excruciating detail exactly why. Basic premise is that this highly technological race discover, earth artefacts and are utterly incapable of using the science, technology and deductive logic inherent in developing the technology that has allowed them to achieve this feat to analyse said alien artefacts. See the inherent FLAW in these kinds of narratives??? In developed scfi circles this is know as the "Stupid Aliens fallacy" ... though i shouldn't be too critical since its a staple of low brow mainstream scfi. Lazy unimaginative writers create aliens with just a little less deductive intelligence than they estimate their target audience has ... hence the prevalence of "Stupid Aliens. (and yes i know now i am the one being condescending guess am kind of triggered at this point) Seems a pretty silly and obtuse way to make a tap dancing short. I enjoyed the dancing the rest was junk.

[@AsheOdinson]

I saw this months ago and loved it. It popped up in my recommendations again and I loved it every bit as much as the first time. This is an absolute joy to watch.

[@ARMALPEEd]

Yes. I've watched it again and again and . . .

Learn instantaneously how to tap-dance. Predict the music's structure. Those aliens are definitively superior beings. But they can still act stupidly. Like humans do. I don't if it's a good news or a bad news for us... Nice and funny short by the way!^^

[@louiehorwood660]

[@-JustHuman-]

@@louiehorwood660They are not dumb, too not know stuff like that when they study things would be weird, like when we find things from the past we have some clue about what to do with it too.

[@jonathonprocaccini1]

I dont see how it would be good or bad for us seeing how we were all killed by something that blew earth to bits lol

[@valdorhightower]

Wonderful video. Absolutely brilliant to work tap dancing into a Sci-Fi short. The song the aliens were dancing to was "After You've Gone." It was originally recorded in the 1920's in the slow version as played in the video. A faster version was recorded by Jazz groups like the Benny Goodman Trio.

[@osmium1373]

Man u sure know ur music. hope they don't abduct u and demand to know the names of each song

[@davidtop8989]

"After You've Gone?" That's the name?!! HAAAAAAA!!!!

[@mattj.7756]

Amazing enough, this song was made even before that: in 1918, the song was composed by Turner Layton, and the lyrics by Henry Creamer. It was made for the soldiers who were fighting in The Great War, as, according to the lyrics (this is just my inference), it’s about a soldier who’s wife back home is cheating on him, and it talks about how she’ll basically regret it and die with a broken heart, just he currently was after hearing the news. I think I may have killed the mood, sorry.

[@godchi1dvonsteuben770]

Yeah, it is really cool, no doubt. I don't even like tap! Cannot deny the value of this film, though!

[@godchi1dvonsteuben770]

So good. Again, don't even like tap, but can't deny how good this film is!

[@Shaylok]

First DUST film i've seen that didn't end in tragedy.

[@sly1024]

Umm, did you see that blue planet in the background blown to pieces? :)

[@gotnoshoes99]

It began with a tragedy.

[@Asian_rom-coms_keep_me_sane]

I know I'm 4 yrs late on this as I only just found it via another Dust film, but had to say that's not quite true. I haven't watched much if any of Dusts' shorts since about 2020, but in 2019 they made a short film with Timothy Spall and Jessica Ellerby called "This Time Away" that is absolutely lovely from start to end. Whether you're like me and have gone through the loss of both parents, or if you were ever a "daddy's girl" and that bond got lost over time, or if you just need a pick-me-up after a bad day, you won't go wrong watching this. Granted there are no jukeboxes or aliens tap dancing, no brightly coloured Crayola crayons or neon pink bras ... but I'm sure you'll enjoy it nonetheless. And don't just take my word for it - with 9 nominations and 4 wins across 2 countries I'm clearly not the only one who thinks it's worth every moment of the 11+ minutes of time spent watching it (it's 13 min with about 1 1/2 min of credits).

[@OsorioThomaz1]

Wonderful. This was the first time I watched a 50's comic dance musical that takes place in outer space after an apocalypse. This is what I call creativity. There are not enough words to thank someone who can invent new things at a time when everything is just one more dose of the same thing. The movie also seems to be a love affair with music and in that it is not new, but it is never too late to repeat how fantastic the music is. Unfortunately, music and creativity do not seem to be enough to give us judgment, as some prefer to spend their time setting fire to the Amazon rainforest rather than listening to good blues.

[@wideawake5630]

And the dancing!!! I thought it looked like 3 great dancers creatively showcasing their talents.

[@OsorioThomaz1]

@@wideawake5630 you're right, and besides, you caught me in the act. I'll let you in on a secret: I'm a terrible dancer. I already tried and I was ashamed, but as I was not convinced, I tried even more and with greater dedication and I was even more ashamed. So I pretend that this beautiful lady called dance doesn't exist, not because I don't like her, but because she doesn't like me.

[@Zamolxes77]

Not really. Music is basically vibrations in the air molecules, and we have an apparatus that allows their interpretation. An alien that grew on another planet, under different conditions, might not even have an ear, and if it does, our music will sound completely different for him.

[@AngloSupreme]

Well whatever he heard he seemed to enjoy it!

THANK YOU TO THE WRITERS FOR GIVING US A GREAT STORY WITH A STORY TO TELL, THE ABILITY TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON & BEING SAID DESPITE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER & A REAL ENDING THAT WRAPS IT UP & DOESN'T LEAVE ME THINKING HUH? THAT'S IT! The aliens were cute & blue. It seemed like the little one was in charge. I loved seeing all the earthling treasures they'd collected - Dove deodorant, crayons, glue, a pink bra, sardines! Hilarious! And then comes this monstrosity that scared the heck out of them...until main blue guy figured out how to work it & they apparently heard music for the first time! The juke box was in mint condition even after floating around in space for a very long time. Wow! And what luck! Boxes of tap shoes that fit the aliens! They must have been magical shoes in order for them to learn to dance so quickly & then as a group. I wish I would've had some magical tap shoes back in the day. I took tap👯 (& jazz)💃🕺 dancing lessons for probably 6 years & I don't think I was as good as the blue aliens 😫 I'd love to see more from these writers. If I could give it 10 thumbs up I would!

New Alan Jackson song - "Don't Lick the Jukebox".

"Lick it twice!" The video is soo awesome, the first licking and then the disgusted face after was so funny, but the second licking full off, yeah of what(?), makes me laugh out loud.

Never in a million years would have guessed it'd turn out like this

I was reading the comments, what wonderful things people have said that has summed up what this “vid” brought me, and amazing the comments were generous and positive. You young folks really made a winner. Be proud, y’all brought out the best.

Hilarious and quirky fun! Excellent performances (especially the Gene Kelly style dancing!) and concept - The final shot was strangely thought-provoking. Great work! :-D
