A simple cartoon about a circle that rolls along and encounters a wall. It discovers that it can't roll up it, bounce over it or push it away. The circle realizes it can't go any further and gives up. A good realistic lesson for kids; when you come to a wall...give up! (lol)

  • That cicrle needs a grappling hook to climb up the wall.

  • Thank you mstatz, I have asked about this one multiple times in Sesame-related forums. Among the variations:

    - the circle repeats the sound of its squeaking to the resonance of a drill, and grinds out a small round hollow inside the mountain.

    - with Pac-Man, the wall fell with a thunderous crash; and when the circle nibbled, it seemed he spit the piece out after chewing

    - the circle rolls upward and actually makes it to an out-of-sight point up the slope. But it falls and bounces around.

  • Poor circle, it must have tried about a hundred times to get over the wall (looks more like a hill?) I always wondered what was on the other side.

  • One of these particular segments included a smaller ball that arrived on the scene (with a seemingly cute squeak!). But it opened its jaws wide, and with a loud drilling sound gobbled through the wall à la Pac-Man. Then the wall fell to the ground leaving the larger ball to try again with a few bites of it own, but gave up again and went to sleep at the wall.

  • I remember these segments very well, and they did several of them with the ball never managing to ascend the wall. These date back to 1970, and it's from the same company that produced, among other transition scenes, segments with shapes appearing from the back of a room to a drum roll, turning in their opposite directions and slamming into their outlines to create a completely black screen.

  • Kind of pessimistic for Sesame Street, but then real life does have unsolvable problems...

  • what year did this one come from, its very cool.
