The song is also praised for its artistic and highly cinematographic music video. The video consists of children dressed in old-fashioned Icelandic clothing, migrating towards an unknown destination somewhere in Iceland. The leader, a boy with a drum, directs the group through a land characterized by open fields and rocky hills, all the while picking up more and more children. The group then fall asleep and the video enters a dream-like state, signified by a change in hue. The song culminates at the end when the children reach a large hill and the leader starts beating his drum rapidly. When the song climaxes, the children start to run full speed up the hill. It is then shown that the hill is in fact a cliff, ending at the ocean. When the children reach the edge, they jump off and swim through the air. The video features a characteristic ambiguous ending, when the last and youngest child is shown jumping off the cliff in a cannon-ball style. The cinematographer Chris Soos has stated that to him the child definitely flies along with the rest, but ambiguity was the intention. The child naturally chose the cannon-ball style after a reluctance to jump whilst filming. The video was directed by Arni & Kinsk. Swedish director Ted Karlsson also directed a few parts and shot the movie..

Nel video di Hoppípolla due gruppi di anziani vestiti da pirati fanno scherzi e si affrontano in battaglie con spade di legno; quello di Glósóli sembra uscito da una storia di Peter Pan; in Sæglópur infine c'è sempre un bambino, questa volta alle prese con le profondità marine.
