MySQL unconnected and execute button grayed out

Since my MySQL is a newer version than the one on the video, I was not able to follow instructions from the previous video.. However, now my execute button (lightening button) is grayed out. What should I do?

I struggled myself too. After download movie_db.sql, I had lines of messages display in Workbench, but not lightning button turned on. I think after I imported movie_db.sql file, it finally turned the execute button on. Which is under "Server" Tab, "Data Import" option. Like I said, I struggled, so I'm not sure that will be your fix or not. I hope this will help your situation.
