Sesame Street - Turtle

[UnclaimedTreasure]

I recognize the music too from the Alfred Hitchock movies...the ones where his sillouette is showing before his movies start

[UTUbELuVeR77]

Does anybody remember Elmo running in a mid-90's episode where he runs into this film, and says, "Run Run Run! Wow! Look at the Turtles?"

[Gonzoweirdo1]

I also remember a 1990's episode when Elmo and Rosita were running. Elmo was superimposed over this film.

This is the "Galapagos Tortoise", the largest turtle in the world.

[rayandreina]

The music is from "Funeral March of a Marionette", by Charles Gounod. 1872.

A "tortoise" is a kind of turtle.

It's amazing how the animal's footsteps are in sync with the music from 0:18-0:26. Cool.

[4a8p9x]

The music is "Funeral March of the Marionettes"

[giantpanda371]

Turtle? No that is a tortoise either a Galapagos or an aldabra tortoise, but still a tortoise.

[lion371]

Hey it't the adult version of the comcast digital turtles from the commercial!

[koala371]

Isn't the giant tortoise also known as the aldabra tortoise?

[koala371]

Where was this filmed?

[koala371]

Good video of the Glapagos tortise Joe Raposo. Not turtle.

[koala371]

Why did ss tell people this is a turtle. It is ok to show animals but please indentify them corectly please. Rescearch please.

[Capybara371]

This looks more like a Galapagos tortoise.

[ginaandsavionfan39]

orth wacthing it!

[Deanmo23]

Actually they're giant tortoises in this film.

[moatguy]

Yeah,you,re right. A true turtle has paddle shaped flippers and lives in the sea. Well sort of. In Australia we have freshwater turtles(which Americans call teripans) as well as marine ones. In the past we used to call them tortoises but today most Australians think the true landlubber ones like in this film are the only ones to be called tortoises.

[NantoVision]

The title is "Funeral March of a Marionette", by French opera composer Charles Gounod.

Great film, thanks for posting!

[sawing14s]

It was also the theme to "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" ... right?

[Mommy246]

yeah, that was my anwer to the question on the title, guess I was wrong!! :-)

[hugic2112]

Thank you for teaching it.

I look for whether a CD is released.

[redfox409]

@NantoVision Why did he say this is a turtle? It's a tortoise.

@NantoVision Also remade into 'Short Circuit' by Harry Breuer & Jean Jacques Perrey, used as the theme song for the 70's Canadian TV show "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein." I uploaded it eons ago on my channel. I bet you'd really like it. :)
