Note: DVD & VHS editions of the same title are included in the overall count.

	Yo Kidz The Vidz VHS Release: 1994 Hanson made a cameo appearance in Christian singer/songwriter Carman's 1994 video, "Yo Kidz The Vidz." The video has a series of Bible stories put to song, and Hanson appears in a segment about David and Goliath. Taylor is David, and Isaac is the "announcer" - if you squint closely, you can see a little Zac and other members of the Hanson family in the audience.
	The Borrowers Theatrical Release: February 13, 1998 VHS Release: August 18, 1998 DVD Release: November 5, 2002 Rating: PG Synopsis: The popular children's books by Mary Norton have been filmed before, but never with as much imagination and ingenuity as you'll find on display in this delightful fantasy film released to critical praise in 1998. After its modest success in theaters, The Borrowers stands a good chance of becoming a home-video favorite. Hanson Cameo: "Weird" plays during the end credits of the movie. Interestingly, the song is not available on The Borrowers soundtrack.
	Wheels: An Inline Story - UK VHS Release: 1998 Released in the summer of 1998, this video is about a teen group of skaters; Hanson's music from Middle of Nowhere is used throughout the video.
	Jack Frost US Theatrical Release: December 11, 1998 VHS Release: November 2, 1999 DVD Release: November 2, 1999 Rating: PG Synopsis: This family film stars Michael Keaton as Jack Frost, an aspiring musician, loving husband, and occasionally absent father. Frost's life is unexpectedly cut short by a car accident, and a year after his death he comes back as--you guessed it--a snowman, to help his family heal. ...this is entertaining family fare. Hanson Cameo: Hanson's music was used heavily in this film to help promote Live From Albertane and Snowed In. Merry Christmas Baby, What Christmas Means To Me, and Gimme Some Lovin' are played in various scenes in the film. These three songs are on the movie soundtrack as well.
	Being John Malkovich US Theatrical Release: October 29, 1999 VHS Release: November 5, 2002 DVD Release: May 2, 2000 Rating: R Synopsis: While too many movies suffer the fate of creative bankruptcy, Being John Malkovich is a refreshing study in contrast, so bracingly original that you'll want to send director Spike Jonze and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman a thank-you note for restoring your faith in the enchantment of film. Malkovich himself is the film's pi�ce de r�sistance, riffing on his own persona with obvious delight and--when he enters his own brain via the portal--appearing with multiple versions of himself in a tour-de-force use of digital trickery. Does it add up to much? Not really. But for 112 liberating minutes, Being John Malkovich is a wild place to visit. Hanson Cameo: A snippet of Hanson at the 1997 MTV Europe Music Video Awards is shown towards the end of this film.
	Finding Forrester US Theatrical Release: December 19, 2000 VHS Release: August 28, 2001 DVD Release: April 24, 2001 Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: Because of scoring exceptionaly high on a state wide standardized exam and being an exceptionally good basketball player, Jamal Wallace is sent to a prestigious prep school in Manhattan. He soon befriends the reclusive writer, William Forrester. The friendship leads to William to overcome his reclusivness and for Jamal to overcome the racial prejudices and pursue his true dream - writing. Hanson Cameo: Save Me plays faintly in a scene halfway through the movie.
	Princess Diaries US Theatrical Release: August 3, 2001 VHS Release: December 18, 2001 DVD Release: December 18, 2001 DVD Release (Special Edition): August 3, 2004 Rating: G Synopsis: A thoroughly engaging fairy tale that's family friendly without being condescending, The Princess Diaries is your basic Cinderella makeover story given a fresh, affectionate twist courtesy of a game, energetic cast and a screenplay that skirts schmaltz in favor of gentle, effective comedy. ...All in all, a royal pleasure. Hanson Cameo: Wake Up makes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in this very popular Disney film. The song is also on the movie soundtrack.
	Frank McKlusky, C.I. US Theatrical Release: N/A VHS Release: N/A DVD Release: June 27, 2002 Rating: PG-13 Synopsis: Comedian Dave Sheridan stars with Randy Quaid and Dolly Parton in an outrageous comedy where hilarious things happen to a claims investigator who takes his job a little too seriously! As a child, Frank McKlusky (Sheridan) watched his daredevil father "Madman" McKlusky become comatose in an ill-fated motorcycle stunt. Now as a risk-avoiding adult, he lives with his parents, always wears protective gear, and works by the Claims Investigator Handbook. Insurance fraud wiped out the family finances, but Frank's career compensates. When he suspiciously loses his partner on the job, Frank must become a master of disguise, take on a sexy new partner, and grab evidence to bust up the biggest insurance scam going. Hanson Cameo: Hanson make a brief (yet hilarious!) appearance in this film, playing "Get Up & Go" during a concert.
	Wetlands Preserved US Theatrical Release: N/A VHS Release: N/A DVD Release: April 22, 2008 Rating: Not Rated Synopsis: WETLANDS was one of the hottest music venues in New York City for over 10 years. Until 2001 this former Chinese food warehouse in Tribeca hosted the latest up-and-coming artists in every musical genre. People still rave about the time they first encountered DAVE MATTHEWS BANDS, BLUE TRAVLER, PHISH or PEARL JAM. Others never visited, but have seen the signature Wetlands bus in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or have listened to the celebrated live recordings from the club's intimate stage. But Wetlands was more than a typical rock and roll joint. For many the name evokes a spirit, a community, an ethos. As a self-styled "Eco-Saloon," the place was as devoted to environmental and political issues as it was to partying and great music. This insightful and entertaining new documentary tracks the history of this first-ever activist nightclub, with vintage footage, original recordings and new digital animation. Hanson Cameo: Hanson has an appearance in this award-winning documentary. Specific details unknown.
