7. Cartoon Heroes by Aqua
A classic song of the early 2000s, “Cartoon Heroes”, was written and recorded by Scandinavian dance-pop band Aqua. The music video for this song cost $3.5 million, equivalent to $5.2 million nowadays, and the video was directed by Thomas Masin.
The music video for Cartoon Heroes shows the band as space-faring superheroes being summoned to save the world from a one-eyed sea monster. It shows a battle beneath the ocean between the members of Aqua and the monster, culminating in a victory for the group.
