Top movie clips of 2019
Top earner on Youtube ? As the kids have shown, the videos are just the start. Ryan now has a line of branded toys, clothing and home goods sold at Target, Walmart and Amazon, a spinoff television show on Nickelodeon and a deal with Hulu to repackage his videos. Nastya, who gets six-figure checks from sponsor brands including Dannon and Legoland, will be launching a line of toys and mobile game, and publishing a book next year. Last year, she moved with her parents from Krasnodar, Russia, and now lives in Boca Raton, Florida. Videos with children in them average almost three times as many views as other types of videos from high-subscriber channels, according to a Pew Research Center study done this year. Another Pew study revealed that 81% of parents with children 11 or younger let their kids watch YouTube.
Zachary Levi does a fantastic job of stepping into the spandex suit of Shazam, the superhero persona of Billy Baston. Telling the story of a teenage boy who can turn into a superhero when he calls out the magic word (one chance to guess what it is…), Shamaz! was a surprisingly sincere take on the DC Comics character. Detective Pikachu is its own beast. The buddy action movie brings the pocket monsters alive in a way unlike any other time before, but the key to the movie’s success is Ryan Reynolds’ hilarious portrayal of Pikachu—the only pokemon in the movie with the capability to speak to humans. If you’re not an OG fan of the animé, fear not: Pokémon Detective Pikachu is funny enough to be enjoyed by all.
The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger: This ordinary nature video got a fantastic voice-over narration by a guy named Randall, and the internet could not get enough of it. The “Honey Badger Don’t Care” meme was everywhere in 2011, inspiring parodies, t-shirts, and other products based on the hilariously bad-tempered creature. Before there was ?Grumpy Cat, Honey Badger ruled the web. Discover more amazing movies on YT.
Best clip for a song in 2019 ? It’s hard to remember any self-made star having such a swift and well-deserved rise to the top as Rosalía, who already commands outsized influence given her relatively brief career to date (see: Camila Cabello’s second album). This year she released an embarrassment of brilliant one-off singles that show off her wide-ranging prowess, from uncompromising experimentation (A Pale and Aute Cuture) to nimble pop flexes such as Con Altura. It is completely addictive: the combined charisma of the Spanish star and J Balvin snaking around the blunt dembow stutter and a synth whirr that coos like a curious wood pigeon.
