The Triumph is the official music video and short film for "Can You Feel It" by The Jacksons. The film accompanies the song's lyrics by containing artistic visuals pertaining to global harmony and world peace. It is entitled "Can You Feel It" on the DVD box set, Michael Jackson's Vision, and on The Jacksons' Official YouTube channel.

In 2001, it was voted one of the 100 best videos of all time, in a poll to mark the 20th anniversary of MTV. Billboard said it was "a cinematic masterpiece with strikingly advanced visual effects for its time." Rolling Stone placed it at number 12 on their list of the best Michael Jackson videos.
