This is the animated short All Shapes and Sizes from Miramar's Imaginaria. It was also among the shorts to air as part of YTV's Short Circutz in the mid 90s.
if you're wondering about the quality, there's a reason for it being rather poor. These animations were created on early computers as separate projects in the late 80s. They were then output to film or (ugh) VHS. This was then collected by Miramar who somehow edited them together into the shorts. Once that was done, it was released on VHS tape. Later on, these VHS tapes were recorded into a computer by unknown means and compressed with an obscure video compressor. The result was burned to a CD and mailed off. After that it was extracted from it's bizzare video format and converted into a more standard AVI format. Finally it was uploaded to Youtube and re-encoded in their system. That means that this short has been in 8 different lossy video formats by the time you watch it. It's a wonder you can even make out what's happening.

These made life worth living as a kid. It took you into a world a dreams and wonder. All nostalgia on YouTube is great... but nothing compares to these!
I am 23 and I thought I was the only one that paid attention to the animusicals. Totally loved them, they touched me in a way that Icannot explain. I tried to find these for so long and my husband remembers them too! One things for sure is TV aint the same anymore
I'm 22 now, and this is slightly embarassing, but when I was a kid watching this... the young girl in this video who sings the part that goes "All that I know, is when I'm grown up I'll be the size to look them in the eye!" her voice touched me. I was in love with her. I would wait for this short circutz thing to come on, it was one of my favorite parts about YTV.
Whatever happened to all that quality programming? Give me Bots Master!
Hahaha! Maybe it was Botz Master, rather than Bots Master. Who knows. And yeah! The After School Zone was the shiz. I still remember really old PJ's like PJ Jenn, and also back when Paul McGuire was a PJ. PJ Katie, PJ Phil too, and "The Gravity Room" was it called? Had cool stuff on it like video games.
