I have a soft spot for trailer mash-ups — the “Toy Story” and “Star Trek” one was genius, and there was that great hybrid of “Up” and “Inception” — and Jay West just sent me a link to this new one. There’s an awful lot of clever energy and nimble imagination at work in these.
What’s the best one you’ve seen? If you come up with a Top 5 ranking (with links, please) we’ll give the coolest collection a guest post and byline here on Hero Complex.

Hell yeah. That was stellar!
Lion King Rises and Walletheus were great!
In general I've found that live-action trailers are problematic for lip synching, anything robotic or animated work a lot better.
My list of best Trailer Mash-Ups…

Brilliant. Great start to the day! I love this blog! We were just running out of pre-Prometherial. I guess what I do could be classed as a type of mash up. Here's my Prometheus: http://tranquilspace.wordpress.com/2012/05/11/an-…
