@stevarino1989 You have to wonder if the people who made this show were on drugs when they did scenes like these. The same goes with those number skits with the baker who keeps falling over the stairs. The opening animation of those scenes MUST have been made on drugs!
I wish we could go back to the days of scanimation to be honest. For the time period this was the coolest thing ever. I think I remember this myself, they reused it a couple of times if I'm not mistaken. Anyways today kids are so into CGI and everything they don't realize that this is one of the many coolest effects. Creepy or not. :)
wow...memories...

So THAT'S where Fighting Gravity got the idea! And the scanimation is amazing for 1971.

I can remember seeing this when I was a kid and thought that was very weird. That's gotta be THE WEIRDEST of the weird Sesame Street segments.
