Rehov Sumsum - Natan's Reserve Duty - part two (English subtitles)

This part starts with an animation in which various shapes combine to form animals and objects, with two children commenting on what's happening on screen. Not sure if this is original, but it resembles something from here:

In the next sketch, Natan is on leave from reserve duty, and teaches Kipi about 'forward' and 'back' by showing him how to march.
Next is a Sesame Street cartoon about a mouse in the house, from this episode:

Next is another song accompanied by live action footage. The song is about eyes, and various animal eyes are shown.
Next is a sketch apparently from the original series about one Muppet child teaching the audience about 'forward' and 'back' using a group of his friends to demonstrate. He repeatedly gets trampled by them and then mocked by a sort of hippie guy at the end.

You can actually find this clip (from the beginning until the baby carriage) on a Fisher Price film cartridge called "On My Way to Sesame Street" for the "Movie Viewer" set manufactured in 1973. I used to have it when I was younger, so I should know! The background is still the original light blue but without the music. Until now, I hadn't seen this clip in its entirety for 34 years and now I remember how weird that music was!

The first clip in this video actually does come from the original Sesame Street and it dates back to at least 1970. They played it quite a few times for about two or three years. However, the background in the original show wasn't orange, but light blue! But I remember seeing this on the French-Canadian version of the show (called "Sesame") in 1976 and the background was orange, too. I guess the film's creators decided to change the clip's background color when it was used for other languages.
