ooh what a fabulous party

Music by a Bobby Short stylin' singer, animation by Sally Cruikshank, and a song about a wild dinner party, all to teaach the concept of "next to." At the time, 1992, cellular phones were a great novelty.

So I just saw your interview. Is the hostess a duck?

[laughingsal]

I'd say she's unclassified.

Sorry, but most of your work has sound effects added in recent years, but you are lucky they still air them!

oh I always have a different idea of how to use sfx with music -- bet I would cringe now.

I've heard that Princess von Toasterhead is a real hothead. Apparently she got burned a while back, and it's sticking with her.

I've always remembered "I'm sittin' next to the hostess and the hostess is next to me!" Thanks!

I was so excited when I was watching the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street DVD and saw this clip included in the 90s portion of it. I've always loved the clips you animated especially this one!

Poor Princess Von Toasterhead! No wonder she looks annoyed - she is sitting between a chimpanzee and a blimp. I can't imagine the dinner conversation is particularly stimulating.

The name "Prime Minister Hoo-Haw" cracks me up!
