Ok, so maybe there is a slight hint of sarcasm incorporated into the title of this video.  Apparently there is a learning curve, for some, when it comes to the classic household game of hide and seek.  This little "ninja" has a long way to go in terms of mastering the art of finding a stealthy hiding spot.  The two images at the end of the video are priceless.

Everyone in the family is happy and excited when a soldier comes home after a long deployment, but who is best at expressing that joy? Right, the dog! Mental_floss posted ten videos of dogs welcoming their soldiers home. I dare you to keep a straight face and a dry eye while watching these. Link

Every once in a while, someone will say, “I wish I’d been around when that happened.” You can get a taste for what it was like to live through historical moments by watching converted film footage, news reports, historic speeches, sports coverage, and even famous musical performances on YouTube. This list has links to 101 available videos, some of which you’d never think of to look for on your own. Just a few are recreations. Pictured is a screenshot from the destruction of the Berlin Wall. This resource will be useful to help my children with their history lessons! Link -via the Presurfer

College Humor presents an instant classic:  A funny road trip on the Street View highway, with actual Street View shots used as animated backgrounds and settings.

The Museum of Animal Perspectives gathers videos from inside animal nests, cameras carried by animals, camera traps, and remote vehicles. You could spend days watching these! I suggest starting with the armadillo cam for a laugh. Link -via Weather Sealed

As if Leonard Nimoy needed to prove himself even more odd, the ‘Star Trek’ legend released this gem. “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins”, which comes in at number 9 on our list, tells the story of the little Hobbit featured in J.R.R Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”. Beyond weird.

If you wondered how people actually made some of the cakes in the Threadcakes contest, previously featured on Neatorama, then you’ll love this time-lapse video of a Threadless tee shirt being made into a cake. The process is so detailed and so fascinating.

It’s hard not to love this fantastic time lapse footage of Disneyland’s original construction.

Rare and unseen footage of Disneyland’s construction narrated by Imagineers. Includes some amazing new footage of Walt Disney walking the site before construction even started and some never-before-seen timelapse footage of the park from groundbreaking until opening day. This film was on the way to deep storage and was found by a curious employee, otherwise there’s a good chance we’d never get to see this.

Thank goodness that curiosity doesn’t kill the Disney employee or we would have all missed out on this great find.

In yet another sterling example of interspecies loving, here’s a great video of a deer giving sweet kisses to an adorable kitty. I love how into it the kitty gets near the end.

The Internet has provided us with some pretty memorable moments in online video over the years – some of them amazing, some ridiculous, and some downright silly. It’s about time that these moments are captured in the ever-popular form of de-motivational posters …

This can be in various aspects such as editing, directing, animation and so forth. One that really caught my eye from their 20 clips posted has to be this one which blew my mind with the dazzling use of live projection mapping. The creator himself explains, “This is an experimental film made up of over 35,000 photographs. It combines an innovative mix of stop motion and live projection mapping techniques.”

Hit the link to check out the other 19 neat clips up there. Some of them I’m pretty sure we’ve already seen here on Neatorama!

I have no doubt that this will probably upset the animal rights advocates out there, but at least it will provide a little more happiness to all of you Japanophiles. That’s right, it is exactly what the title post indicates, a dalmatian operating a tricycle. Personally, I love Japan.

Japanese television is one of the best things in the world. Pair it with another stupidly catching internet song and you have an instant hit -especially when the video and song emphasize the wonder that is created when a chimpanzee rides on a segway.
