Dear Festividder Letter

Dear Festividder,
Thank you so much for taking on one of my prompts! As you can probably tell by my requests, I'm a big fan of goofy, happy vids from goofy, happy fandoms (or if there is angst, let it be danceable angst). Club Vivid is like Christmas for me every year.
I'm cool with all kinds of music styles (though I admit to favoring upbeat and/or fast-paced music). A few favorites music artists of mine: any pop from the 1980s (Erasure and Depeche Mode in particular), Madonna, She Wants Revenge, Cake, Beck, Tori Amos, Muse, Goldfrapp, Nine Inch Nails, Postal Service, Smashing Pumpkins, Franz Ferdinand, The Aquabats, the Indigo Girls, Led Zeppelin, Tool, They Might Be Giants, Fischerspooner, VAST, The Faint, Metric, and Zero 7. Just some ideas--seriously, go with whatever moves you.
And for tone, though I love goofy/happy and danceable angst, I'm happy with any kind of theme or pairing or mood that strikes you. I like slash, het and gen in equal measure. I really can't think of anything you can do with any of these sources that I would totally hate, so go nuts!
1. Court Jester - 1955 [Movie] *
Details: A hilarious movie with lots of crazy costumes, singing/dancing and physical humor. I really can't see any angst coming out of this source footage, so I'd love something fun from this film.
Music: Something dance-able?
2. Eureka [TV]
Details: I love this show so much. All of the characters have great chemistry together. The science is cheesy and shiny. It's all awesome! Favorite characters include Carter, Stark, Allison, and Lupo. Something shippy could be fun (something OT3ish with Carter/Stark/Allison would blow my mind!) but gen would be good too.
Music: Fun, upbeat, goofy :)
3. Flight of the Conchords [TV]
Details: I'd love for it to focus on the humor and friendship between Bret and Jemaine (I admit to having a stronger crush on Jemaine, if you're going to favor one or the other...). I'd be happy with either gen or slash.
Music: I would prefer not to have the video use their own music. Would also prefer something fun rather than serious.
4+5. Muppets From Space (1999) [Movie] * and The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) [Movie] *
Details: Ms Piggy is my all-time favorite, but I love all the muppets and their over-the-top antics.
Music: They are so goofy and fun, so something cracky like 80s pop or disco would be awesome.
6. The Scarlet Pimpernel - 1982 [Movie] *
Details: Such a fun and gorgeous costume drama! Something focusing on the relationships or the espionage would be great. It's got hot young Ian McKellen as the bad guy--it's golden!
7. Warehouse 13 [TV]
Details: I adore the entire team and the sense of family they create. I'd love an ensemble one most for this fandom.
Music: Something goofy, fun or sweet.
8. Willow - 1988 [Movie] *
Details: I have loved this movie for soooooo long. It's got great world-building, good physical humor and fun characters. I'm sure plenty of the special effects seem cheesy now, but I still love it to itty bitty pieces. I would really enjoy something that showcases both the humor and the fantasy-prettiness of this movie. I would love for it to be Mad Martigan-centric!
In a perfect world where I could request fifty kerjillion fandoms, I would also request:
Adventures of Priscilla
Bride and Prejudice
Cry Baby
How to Steal a Million
Kissing Jessica Stein
Mirrormask
Princess Bride
Return to Oz
Syfy's Alice
Whip It
