Classic Sesame Street animation - elephant counts to 20

[DragonLord1975]

Wasn't there another 1 to 20 segment from "Fem Myror" that Sesame Street used before? It would have the number 8 squash the 7, but the 7 in 17 would get out of the way when the 8 came down for 18. The 19 would swirl and reveal a red 20 at the end. Anyone have that or know where I can fid it?

I luv elephants but I always got freaked out when it looked mad :23 when she got stuck on 14

In the Swedish original the elaphant is singing the numbers with a really silly voice.

[DragonLord1975]

Also, at the end. She'd say "Tak" instead of "bye". "Tak" is Swedish for thanks. My fiancée speaks Swedish and I'm learning from her.

Why is it god damn Robot female voice??

The original Swedish audio can be found in a posting titled "Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter 1-20". I kind of like the arrangement of the song better in the original, and the tuskless elephant's voice makes me crack up =)

I always thought that the elephant sounded like Maria.

They have stolen the background music. It's from the Swedish children's programme "Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter" = "Five ants are more than four elephants".

[Loistheshit]

Not only the music, the elephant is Swedish as well.

[PandaMishima]

True, five ants are more than four elephants in quantity. But in basic volume, the elephants are a bit more :-)

[PandaMishima]

I always thought of this as a girl elephant, probably from the voice, and wondered at the hat. The "stuck 14" is just silly. Never knew this originated in Sweden, nice touch.

Like how the elephant says "Bye!" at the end.

[PandaMishima]

Maybe it's stuck?

In english!?!?! What the f**k?!

[helenawall]

This is the FATTEST AND BEST ELEPHANT EVER !!

If nickelodeon had half of the creative education we would be in good shape.Test this animation on any toddler instant Love !!

I never knew these were Swedish. Though that explains why the lip synch was off. I don't particularly care for the elephant in this one. Looks kinda weird to me.

Wonder what's wrong with 14.Must be a short in it's lighting.

[ISNorden]

The pink elephant in this clip was apparently a "number-teaching mascot" (similar to the Count) on the Swedish program where it originally appeared: his voice also announced the number at the end of those other animated clips.

[wiley207]

Yeah, the elephant saying "14" in an annoyed manner simply sounded like Maria when she is annoyed (since Sonia Manzano did the voice)

[DiAnno13]

Nice clip, sawing14... 14...14s!

[ISNorden]

Back when TV4 in Sweden had clips from the show this originally aired on, I saw the Swedish version (which had the counting set to music). This adaptation isn't half bad though...
