    I saw this beautiful film in 1973 (I think) just before Woody Allen's "Love and Death" at the Paris Theater in Manhattan. I am so grateful that it's been posted. The Hubleys were geniuses and I will never forget their work.

    The Hubley creativity lives on in Emily's animation and Georgia's music.

    This wonderful piece had a sequel with the same girls in it, but I can't remember the name of it.

    Maybe "Windy Day (1968)"?

    I saw this on HBO when I was a kid and since then "cockaboody" has been in my vocabulary. Noe

    Wow, I'm assuming this is Georgia Hubley from Yo La Tengo? What a lovely discovery.

    Does anybody know about a cartoon before 1973 about the gods being angry, and then it tells a story about a couple in an apartment with a dog (or cat) that keeps saying "just gimme the cream", and then the husband jams a fork in the toaster, which starts a fire, which ends up with the city and then the whole earth on fire, and it ends with a voice saying "....and the gods were angry again..."? Does anybody know the name of that animation?

    I've been searching for this video forever. I thought I'd seen it on The International Film Festival, but I guess it *was* on HBO as other posters have noted. I googled all sorts of phrases but "Cockaboody" was the thing did it. Adorable and timeless. Thank you Mr and Mrs Hubley.
