  Edit: I've noticed the preview glitches/pauses for some reason and not sure why yet. I recommend downloading locally if it does.

  It struck me while listening to this song in the car that I needed to make an AMV for it. Originally, I wanted to do various sources of anime and for awhile had trouble deciding between various footage or only Miyazaki movies. A friend convinced me to do the latter and I'm glad I went with that choice (also kudos to her for thinking of a french twist to the title).
  
  Les Miz is such a great musical and I'm not sure when I originally came by this medley version by the Broadway Kids but I believed it had more potential to being an AMV. The AMV, like the medley, is made into two parts. The opening song, Castle on a Cloud, is more on the sentimental and dramatic side with a focus on the girls. Then I let myself have fun with the "Little People" song and brought in some of the boys you don't see as often. I will forever cherish the Miyazaki movies and this is my tribute.
  
  
  LYRICS--------------------
  
  (Castle on a Cloud)... [YOUNG COSETTE]
  There is a castle on a cloud,
  I like to go there in my sleep,
  Aren't any floors for me to sweep,
  Not in my castle on a cloud.
  
  There is a room that's full of toys,
  There are a hundred boys and girls,
  Nobody shouts or talks too loud,
  Not in my castle on a cloud.
  
  There is a lady all in white,
  Holds me and sings a lullaby,
  She's nice to see and she's soft to touch,
  She says "Cosette, I love you very much."
  
  I know a place where no one's lost,
  I know a place where no one cries,
  Crying at all is not allowed,
  Not in my castle on a cloud.
  
  (Little People).......
  
  They laugh at me. these fellows, just because I am small.
  They laugh at me because I'm not a hundred feet tall.
  I tell 'em there's a lot to learn here on the ground.
  The world is big but little people turn it around.
  
  A worm can roll a stone,
  A bee can sting a bear,
  A fly can fly around Versailles
  'Cos flies don't care!
  A sparrow in a hat can make a happy home,
  A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome!
  
  Goliath was a bruiser who was as tall as the sky,
  but David threw a right and gave him one in the eye.
  I've never read the Bible but I know that it's true
  It only comes to show what little people can do!
  
  A worm can roll a stone,
  A bee can sting a bear,
  A fly can fly around Versailles
  'Cos flies don't care!
  A sparrow in a hat can make a happy home,
  A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome!
  
  So never kick a dog because it's just a pup.
  You better run for cover when the pup grows up!
  And we'll fight like 20 armies and we won't give up!
  
  A worm can roll a stone,
  A bee can sting a bear,
  A fly can fly around Versailles
  'Cos flies don't care!
  A sparrow in a hat can make a happy home,
  A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome!
