Sesame Street - Ali Baba abierto

[MasterEiji]

heh... opens the cave and gets ironed by the 40 thieves

[pernelldh]

It should be on Plaza Sesamo.

[maidenrulz1]

That's what he gets for sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, LOL. And BTW, I don't think Ali Baba would have spoke Spanish!

[microbusss]

isn't this in English maybe? I thought it was

[kafdita]

Qué bueno ver este video otra vez!!!

[raposofan]

When he arrives at the cave and says he's about to demonstrate the word "abierto", he sounds like he's speaking Portuguese and not Spanish... weird!

[MauricioGarces]

Jajaja he's trying to immitate an arab accent thats why its sound weird

[Bradyhousetour]

I LOVED this one!!!!

[remoto05]

un recuerdo de mi niñez es este vídeo, gracias por subirlo y volver a ser niño de nuevo.

[RSG2006]

I like that music. Sounds like "A Hard Day's Night" played Arabian style. :>

[RSG2006]

On second thought, it sounds more like "When The Saints Go Marching In" played Arabian style.

I remember another SS 'abierto'/'cerrado' animation...someone lifts the lid off something and these singers pop out singing 'Abierto, abierto, abierto, abiertooooooo..." Anyone else remember this?

[RandiBeeman]

Yes!! I was looking for that one when I found this one. It was the reason I knew the words "abierto" and "cerrado" when I took Spanish as an adult. :-)

[tejaswoman]

I remember one like you're talking about, but on "Villa Alegre" -- they kept running in and out of doors on opposite sides of a hall, and there was alternation of "abierto," "cerrado," "abierto" etc. At least, that's what I remember; however, it logically would have been "abierta" and "cerrada" if it referred to the door. LOVED that show; hope they find master tapes and can (and do) make DVDs like the Electric Company ones.

I REMEMBER THAT ONE!!!...wish someone would post that. :-)

[d72jjpilc]

@bjdwsm I remember that one, and will check if it's on YouTube.

[ISNorden]

Considering that the basic story was the inspiration for Sesame Street's name, this video deserves a place on the International Sesame Street group. Five stars!

[Toledo1837]

Do they still bother doing the Spanish words on there these days? Just felt so different growing up before channels like Univision were around in my youth.

[ISNorden]

Yes, Rosita (a new Muppet) teaches the Spanish Word of the Day on newer episodes. It's still pretty dull compared to the Spanish toons from the 70s, though!

[Toledo1837]

Heh, there was even a whole show that was aired on PBS stations in the 70's called 'Villa Alegre" that pretty much went the same route from what I've read about it.

[ISNorden]

At least one of the PBS stations in my town airs "Plaza Sesamo" every Friday; the Mexicans don't seem to mind dubbing classic cartoons/sketches from the States, but it's still a shame that the original English versions are retired.

[Toledo1837]

Being reminded of a station in Bowling Green, OH that did that too, but I don't see the one closer to me do that.

[DaveJ721]

Villa Alegre! I remember that show!

Lalalalalalalalalalala VILLA ALEGRE! :)

[tejaswoman]

The segments on Sesame Street may be among those that were produced by the same guy (Moctesuma Esparza) who went on to produce the pilot and first season of "Villa Alegre"; he says in an interview that he started by doing Spanish segments for "SS."

[toritos]

tenía como 30 años que no veía esto...

[huggagrl]

i remember this because my dialect has a lot of spanish words! i love sesame street!!!!!

[jim92021]

He wasn't counting on las cuarenta ladrones !! :)

[Brinah]

[MacLeaper]

Don't remember this one- but it was cool to see some more classic Sesame Street! :-)

[StaceSesame]

i remember this! :D
