Michel Gondry’s Be Kind Rewind may have failed to make much of an impact at the box office, but as Liz Shannon Miller reports at NewTeeVee, it did touch off a serious wave of low-budget remake making on the web. Of the three “Sweded” mini-masterpieces she considers, by favorite is the above take on An Inconvenient Truth. Watch it, and join the fight to keep polar bears from taking our jobs. Related: this plus The Pleasure of Being Robbed makes two recent works to employ use of a fake polar bear. I just have to find one more fake polar bear in popular culture, and I can pitch a trend piece to the New York Times!

This clip isn’t really “Sweded” is it? When you “swede” something you try to make am movie or a trailer EXACTLY like the original only (in most cases) with a smaller budget. This clip is more of a parody and has no real connection to Be Kind Rewind.
One of the best clips on the web in this fashion is the sweded trailer of Be Kind Rewind. Check it out!
