I miss it when educational television DIDN'T talk down to you. This is absolutely brilliant. Beautiful animation, beautiful message, beautiful song.

I can't describe how excited I am to find this video! When I was eight I was so obsessed with this clip that I once tried to sit with my eyes closed and think about it for as long as possible because I thought that would make me have a dream that night that I was actually in the video.

For some reason, it seems that this among other Sesame Street clips used to scare the crap out of me.

This song is going to be stuck in my head all day...
This song reminds me of Laura Branigan's "Gloria". Sally, were you inspired by Laura Branigan to do this short?

@astridkitty1212 No, I don't know who Laura Branigan is, but maybe the composer did.

@laughingsal Laura Branigan was a famous 80s singer whose most famous song. "Gloria", sounds a lot like this. Did you just draw the art for this sing and have a musician write the music? I am so touched that I can talk to someone like you. I remember this from my childhood, which was in the 80s! ;,)

@astridkitty1212 All the songs were composed and a rough track recorded before they were sent to me to storyboard (image concepts) and then animate. It's the ideal situation for animation, having a track to animate to.

DakariKingMykan, I don't know who sings it but I think if you can stand reading thru all these comments that someone once posted who it was.

nifty comments, and herzenverbrecher, interesting what you say about attention span. People send me their animation now and I'll look at the time length, and think, "4 minutes, you've got to be kidding."
