The Animal Alphabet! - with Geoffrey Giraffe - Part 1

[jadesfire84]

I'm 27 and to this day I sing the opening song from time to time! I used to check this out from the public library! My favorite of the animal songs was the iguana! " I wanna iguana, I wanna iguana who wants a small fry!" lol good times :)

[amemom1987]

My son is 24 and we watched this over and over. It is amazing as soon as I turned it on I began singing along.

[SnoeLaCone]

this ithe video i made my parents play over and over and over and over.. my parents hated this.. but i remember demanding it all the time.

[LilStewerdess]

Used to watch this every sunday at my grandparents house with my cousins.. Being 27 now, i cant believe we ever watched this. Haha

[BKDBrian2]

C'est l'alphabet des animaux! Il devient amusant beaucoup!

[mcdsbigmama]

I love that I found this! I wanted so bad to show it to my daughter and couldnt find it anywhere! Thank you so much!!

[Ramanujan88]

oh, my God. I use to watch this like everyday as a toddler (my mom never let me watch it when I was sick cause i would try to move like each of the animals). But I remember trying to order it on amazon a couple years ago and it's was $120. glad to see it again.

[rollingstar2221]

I watched it since I was born, and now I'm 13. It's still my biggest fear for no reason. So, I'm trying to finish this and overcome my fear. I know, it's pathetic.

[yukinaishida]

When I was little,I used to own the VHS of The Animal Alphabets song.I used to watched it everyday.Lol and looked at me now.I'm 26 ys old and here I am still watching it.It feels like I'm walkin through childhood memories.It does feel like it takes you back when you were little.Aw......memories.

[JesusAloneSaves]

I've been looking for this for my niece and nephew. I grew up on this. X, Ox spelled backwards. THANK YOU!!! I remember my kindergarten teacher being shocked when we got to the letter N and I shouted out newt. =) I'm here jamming in my office at the age of 28. lol.

[MsRis27]

I used to play this video day in day out and I am so glad I found it!

[1MrJohnson1]

Oh my gosh!! My mom and I have been looking for this for YEARS! I used to watch this over and over and over again as a kid, and I'm sitting here right now feeling like that kid again (at age 27). Thankyouthankyouthankyouthanky­ou!!!

[teengirlsquad01]

My cousins and I can (and frequently do) sing this entire thing word for word! Talk about childhood memories :) This 23-year-old is now on a quest for more youtube nostalgia

[travelsonic]

Shit, I'm almost 22, and this got me singing, wonder how young the youngest generation to experience this video was compared to us 20-somethings?

[CrushNazT]

holy shit. im 23 years old and watched this when i was like 5. this is nuts... i never thought id find this video ever again, but then i googled it and here i am lmao!!! i love it.

[zambimaru]

Wow, talk about a blast from the past.

[TheSaintOfPain]

Here I am, a 29 year old man, and I'm singing along to this damned thing like I'm 5 all over again.

[BKDBrian2]

I had a feeling that the bear song in this vid fits perfectly for the T&P episode "Dapper Duck Burgers."

[jdlstacy]

OMG my sister and I used to watch this when we were little. AWESOME!!!!!!!! U ROCK!!!

[wallavious]

im sooooo hiiighhhh right now

[ItsAMeTomVooren]

A Unicorn in an animal alpabet? XD

[Ladyaftermath]

Anyone know where I can buy a copy of this?? I loved it as a kid and really want to give it to my niece for her birthday.

[lilblkboi]

This used to be my favorite song when I was... three? or four? I remember I used to heckle my parents to get the Video Cassette from the library everytime they would go out. I'm 18 now, and the word's are a little rusty to me, but I can still sing along lol.

[chickun1soup80]

[carlitosbug]

[teengirlsquad01]

I sing these songs alllll the time!! It saddens me that I know no one outside of my family who has ever seen this

[softballmom2010]

OMGOODNESS! This is the best video ever made for children. My daughter's will be turning 21 & 19 in January. This video was the coolest by far! We all still sing the whole thing through. We had it on a blue VHS tape. The girls wore it out! I ordered one from Suncoast a few years back but loaned it out & never got it back. I now have a 7 month old son & I am seeking another copy ASAP! Thanks for posting this :0

[MissFuzzbottom]

OMG!! I've been searching for this show for forever! I remember watching it so much when I was real little (it aired alongside Fraggle Rock), but it's been so long and been so hard to find info on it, I had begun to think I was the only one who remembered it. I KNEW that giraffe was in it! Why didn't I search "Geoffrey the Giraffe" sooner?

[aragorn1780]

a nice reminder that 1st grade music class was real and not a dream, lolz (it was 1997 I remember...)

[travelsonic]

I'm 21, and I remember this from when I was little - and watched it again for the first time in like... ever... with as much enjoyment as when I was a little kid. :P Nostalgia kicks ass.

[crystybaby]

wow...this is just awesome memories lol im 15 now and i remeber watching the whole same blue tape every day!! Thank You!!

[ThePoopcornMachine]

@crystybaby

Toys R Us. At that time Geoffery was their company mascot.

[buzzlolyear]

i wonder where they were sold.

[gowiththeflowmar]

wow this brings back so many memories. im freaken 19 and i still remember all the dum songs. lol

[ladyward122102]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! i have been looking everywhere to find this! my sister and i wore my mom's copy out now we both have kids and wanted to pass it on to them. give your mom a big hug from all of us on the web...you 2 are godsends!

[maineiacs546]

Yes!! The words just naturally come back to you after 18 years!! We would rent this on VHS at the library all the time when my now 18 year old was just a tot!!!

[VioletCatbird]

Wow, thanks for posting. I have four siblings and we all used to watch this all the time and we can still sing most of the songs. Awesome.

[MagicofAlexo]

The question is how much more fun can an alphabet get and the answer is: None.

[AmputationAnnie]

Oh my gosh!!!!! How much more fun can an alphabet get? I've been looking for this forever!!!!! I'm 27 and I saw this when I was 3. I had it on a tape along with Dot and the Whale and the very cartoony version of The Wizard of Oz

[capitaldyme]

I'm sitting here laughing reading all the comments because I gotta say the same thing...this vid brings back soooooooooo many memories...I'm 31 and used to watch this when I was a little girl and haven't seen this in about 20 years and STILL remember every SINGLE word to the entire thing. My daughter (who is 7) thinks I'm nuts because of how I was just sitting here singing for a half hour straight like I'm her age...so much fun. Thank you for posting this!!!

[reslina42]

omg i remember when i used to watch this all the time. my uncle had re-recorded it so that it played at least 8 times, so my mom wouldnt have to keep rewinding it since it was a VHS ;)

[SCOTLANDTASTIC]

yea GEOFF THE GIRAFFE !!!!!

[Jonasalicious]

lol. I just watched this this morning with my little sister. We have it on VHS.

[animefreakjay]

OH GOD I REMEMBER ALL DA SONGS OFF DIS VID I HAVE DA SAME VID BUT LOST IT D; and i was like got 2 find vid AUTOMATIC LIKE AND FAV! THANKS ALOT

[m0t0727]

I had this video and still, when i was a little child!! <3

[Brillemeister]

Soooo anyone know why this tape is going for $50 on Amazon?

Groooooooooovy...

[lostldy86]

this was my fav thing as a kid! thanks for posting! my fave song was letter i !

[alihid]

I used to watch this everyday with my little brother! Brings back so many memories!  Thanks for posting!

[Deboyer]

I would really love for someone to digitally remaster this video and put it on DVD so I can send a copy to my sons. They all loved this video and when I watch it I get real emotional. I miss my boys a lot, as they live hundreds of miles away, in different directions. Please, someone put this on DVD!!

[IndigoDragoness]

I loved this flick since I was a kid, I still watch it to this day. :) At some point, my brother pestered me about watching this, "You should watch the Nature Channel or read the encyclopedia, 'cause you'll learn something!" Ugh, but this has animals with fun songs while the Nature Channel has a boring guy narrating and is usually depressing. He's been bossy since day one. Anyways, thanks for putting this up.

I never noticed 'til recently, but a couple bears look like they have ear tags.

[99joibells]

My brother and I use to watch this video everyday! I still remember every single song. I must find this video. I wish it was on DVD because I would love to show it to my 3 year old. I know she would love it as much as I did.

[danceavecluciole]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THESE!! I grew up with this and loved it. Brought back so many memories.....thank you:)

[Sheba85]

Wow!!! Me and my sis used to watch this video when my mom used to do our hair. Oh the memories.

[davezdragon]

They should've had: D for Dolphin, F for Flamingo, H for Hippopotamus, K for Koala, N for Narwhal, Q for Quetzal, U for Uriel, W for Walrus, and X for X-ray fish.

[SugarSumore]

OMG! I can't believe this is actually on here! I used to LOVE this movie when I was a kid! THANK YOU!!!

[flutey28]

I own this on VHS OMG thanks for putting it up this is awesome!! : )

[BKDBrian2]

This looks so appealing to National Geographic fans, and I would MUCH rather watch this than South Park any day. I happen to have such perfect pitch that I usually know what key a song is in when I hear it; it might sound weird but the elephant song is in G major and the giraffe song in E.

[rkak328]

Hey, all my kids use to watch this, including the ones I babysat for. I would love for my grandchildren to see it. Any chance on getting a copy of your tape?

[shenloken2]

Hey! I remember this! I think this is what got me interested in animals since a kid because...just look at it. They actually have great animal footage!

[buzzlolyear]

holy shit i remember watchin this with my brother and sister when were kids!!!!!

[Gmann5003]

thank you so much for this, i am sitting here 21 years old remembering every word from when i was 5

[erikandrew1988]

@Gmann5003 exactly the same for me, 21 years old listening to this song and remembering the times as a kid I would watch this show.

[enigma1326]

@Gmann5003 OMG! I KNOW! I'm 22 years old, and my family used to watch this all the time! Then my dad took it to one of his schools and lost it. :(

[JonnyPills321]

omg this is all i would watch when i was little so awsome its on youtube!

[lander582]

camel and fish are the best!

[astridkitty1212]

This was one of my FAVORITE videos as a kid, and I'm so stoked to have it on Youtube! Elizabeth Swados, a Broadway singer, gives the songs an authentic sound unlike some of the cheap music on today's kids' shows.

[Yumiagi]

OMG i haven't seen this since i was 5! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[mkmkm52]

I STILL have this on VHS, and I did use it for my babysitting, over 20 years ago! I'm glad to be able to have it here too, since VHS doesn't last forever!!! I will have to learn how to put it on a DVD.

[Lartista777]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!!! I had this on VHS and...sigh. Anyway, finding it makes me happy and want to share it with the children I babysit...they need something more positive view anyway!

[MisterSenseless]

that's actually kind of catchy.... had no idea Toys R Us put out educational videos, must have been before my time

[Ian16545]

Yeah, how many other videos were there in the Geoffrey Video Library? Or was this the only one?

[raffiandwigglesrock]

I forgot about that video!

[alexgernand]

im semi happy i found this. because i seem to be one of the few who still has their tape of it in a safe place.

[boogieknots]

AWESOME ! i used to have this on VHS!

[TheLadyRed]

OMG!!! I had this on tape, but I lost it! Thank you so much! My life is complete now!

[UberDoku]

This is ridiculous. Like the 2 million people below me, I've been looking for this foreverrrr. I grew up on this and still memorize some of the songs, haha. Greatest thing ever. Thank you for posting it and cheers to everyone below me who I now feel a bond with :P

[maukmaukvegan88]

OMG! I can't believe I finally found this video!!!! Thanks sooo much for posting it!

[Fspringfield5]

LOL!!!!!!!!! I've looked everywhere for this video!!! Thank you for putting it on.  It brings back memories.

[SaraSohma7]

yay!!!!!!!!!! ive been looking for this everywhere! thank you!

[pigrickimmy]

thanks for posting this! I wanted to show this to my kids!

[Francisu316]

I have been looking for this video for my grandkids for years, it was a family favorite..thanks for posting.

[DarthHibberd]

Holy crap, I haven't seen this in almost 20 years! My 3 year-old loves this, too! Thanks for the upload.

[cricket00fur]

Oh my goodness, THANK YOU for posting these :D This video was my FAVORITE when i was younger. I STILL have the tape because it brings back such fond memories..but i don't own a VCR. This just rocks. Thanks again!!

/lame 23-year-old XP

[efil4own1]

That "bear" song sounds a little like something They Might Be Giants would sing.

[Turrtl]

Ha! I remember this! Alligator was always my favorite

[flobbegusted]

oh my gosh what a catchy little tune i love it basically because it also mentions a few of my favourite animals which are unicorns and deer also it stars my favourite giaraffe Geoffrey who was also on the toys are us adverts though the only mistake they made was with x ox doses not begin with x it begins with o.

[byw613]

Were there other videos in Geffroy's video library series or was this the only one?

[byw613]

I've been looking for this for quite some time now, thanks a bunch for uploading this. It really takes me back

[selmacristinaa]

I just love this!

[BKDBrian2]

I used to watch this in variety preschool when I was 3-4 years old. I loved it so much because it was about the alphabet and I used to be obsessed with the ABCs at that age. I sure hope you can post Kid Stuff's "See & Sing" video that has fingerplay songs on it too, as I used to love that even more than anything related to the alphabet and it has rocked my brain more than any other children's video in the whole world. By the way, I was first introduced to "Lorimar" with a Clifford video.

[PCbassist]

ohhhh god this taught me my a b c's

This is the animal alphabet How much more fun can an alphabet get
