There are a number of comments that criticize the audience. First, I strongly urge you to just let people live their lives. Your life isn't any better or worse than theirs. If they didn't do what you think you would do, it doesn't mean they need to be put down. You're not perfect or a moral compass for how people should act at comic book conventions. Next, there's no need for such negativity, especially since you're criticizing without knowing the full story. In fact, the reason that the audience is not dancing, clapping, or otherwise getting involved in some way is due to the lack of sound. These amazing cosplayers brought a small radio. I put the microphone in front of it to get the sound. But most of the room, especially with the carpet muting the sound, could not hear the music. So as far as they were concerned, it was a couple of cosplayers dancing in virtual silence. That makes it less enticing to move with the music. Also, it was early Sunday morning and I think people were a little tired after 2 days of comiccon. So that's my note for today. I don't comment often but it seems we all have lots more time these days. Take care.

Holy crap, they really poured their heart and soul into that dance. That was truly AMAZING.

[@heatherninneman558]

It was great but there's no way you can dance to this on a carpet You need to be on a dance floor. I could tell that affected the performance a lot. Naturally high heels are going to get caught in a carpet like that.

[@pvshka]

@@heatherninneman558 yeah, the carpet was slightly problematic, but even then, they really pulled it off 😘👌

[@PrincesPoppyThtrol9228]

What they doing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Katlist_freequeensee]

Thank you!! Much appreciated ! I tried to choreograph as close as possible as the scene in the movie ! 6 years later I’ve just performed it again at the Montreal casino. Different partner and shorter version. Nonetheless a really fun number ! And film! 🎉

[@Katlist_freequeensee]

@@heatherninneman558 the carpet was a a bit of a challenge indeed! He he! And later on to perform it I wore different shoes ! And then with more practice we got so much better than these first times hehe!

[@tomboyraider1015]

This was taken by one camera and at one angle. And it already looks amazing. Imagine how epic the cinematography would look if they used more cameras at different angles.

[@Katlist_freequeensee]

Omg you’re so right! I performed and choreographed it and did not think of filming it! I Performed a part of it this past weekend actually, and with different angles it would have been amazing! Necessary I’d say!! Thank you for your comment (. Not my video, but me in the performance, which I should have filmed 😂)

It's hard to recreate the song and dance of the original epic dance, but these two have done a fantastic job. Excellent performance.

[@handsome_shinnanagans5809]

The mask is such an underrated movie

[@johnnyfavorite1194]

I practically spat my coffee out reacting to your comment! _The Mask_ has an IMDB Audience Rating of 6.9/10 which is actually a very high score for the IMDB, particularly when you consider the IMDB phenomena of older movies (in this case 25+ Years Old) consistently earning lower scores than new releases. The Professional Critics give _The Mask_ a 77% Fresh🍅 rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Then there’s its financial success. It recovered more than its production budget during its opening weekend, adjusted for 25 Years inflation that’s $39,861,811.70. The total U.S. Theatrical Gross (both adjusted for inflation) was $206,815,806.84. Add that to total international box office and you end up with $606,251,258.38. _The Mask_ earned something like a 1000%+ return on its money. That’s not an underappreciated movie by any stretch of the imagination.

Dang this was epic glad the mask still getting some recognition sadly no new movies.😭😭😭😭

[@blackcrowofvengeance1170]

I know that this is 4 years too late, but that reenactment of The Mask was really wonderful. Simon and Michele did an excellent job. I don't know how they were able to get their costumes, but that matters not. Point is, if I were to rate their performance on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 75. Because, like I said, it was wonderful. I hope I get to see something just as wonderful at New York Comic Con this year. Maybe I might get a miracle, because I don't believe in good luck, nor bad luck.

[@denisedspain7991]

They were probably the original dancers. I doubt Cameron and Jim did the dancing.

[@Katlist_freequeensee]

I tried to choreograph as close to the movie as possible! And Simon was such a great Jim Carrey!i performed it last week again at the Montreal casino , just a part of it, with a different partner. I had fun of course! But Simon had set the barre high for Jim Carrey! And he was in shape enough to dance the whole number with me:) 🎉
