Haha, I love that they are all wearing suits while doing this. I think my favourite part was the guy preparing to hop into the box from 6:41 :D

I love it, this is simply MAH-Vellous! I love the posse sound guys, that is so humorous to see. And the man doing the little boys voice is a real hoot!

This reminds me of a great bit I heard on the radio once. A guy was saying that you could do things on radio that you couldn't do on TV using only sound effects. To prove it he described a scene where Lake Michigan had been drained and then filled with hot chocolate, then an army of bulldozers pushed a mountain of whipped cream into the hot chocolate, and finally the Royal Canadian Air Force flew overhead and dropped a giant cherry onto the mountain of whipped cream. Wish I could find that.

That was awesome! It's so neat to see how they made the sound effects. Being a radio actor or sound effect person would have been an awesome job back then.
