This cartoon got me interested in opera. Becaues of this cartoon, I have been in 3 major priductions throughout the USA! :)

I love how one sheep is Radames from "Aida", another is Ciocio-san from "Madama Butterfly", another the Queen of the Night from "Die Zauberflote". The horse I have no idea what that part is, but the pig i think is Rigoletto from "Rigoletto", then there's the viking from "Der Ring des Nibelungen", a fancy aristocrat that could be anyone from Don Giovanni from "Don Giovanni" to the Count from "Le Nozze di Figaro". The rest I could not figure out.

I just realized my prior five month old comment is not showing because it's received too many thumbs down. I still love this clip and I was speaking from the disbelief I felt over Kevin Clash when I posted that he had a "Very big surprise in store". That said, KC is innocent until proven guilty, and it doesn't change the fact that I still love this clip. I just Google'd KC and apparently he's still got issues to contend with. I do hope he is innocent, and I do hope that truth prevails! Peace

Actually the rumors were false. The accuser already confess that he made the whole thing up and he only did this just to frame him and steal Mr.Kevin's money. Greedy people like that are horrible. Because of that the accuser was arrested. Mr.Kevin was proven innocent and all his charges were dropped.

I have to disagree with you on the pig: it looks a lot more like Pagliacci. The rooster for sure is the Pirate King from Pirates of Penzance and

This clip is included in my son's favorite Sesame Street dvd. We watched it countless times and still remember the lyrics so many years later. S.S. is so dear to our hearts that our son's first concert was at the Hollywood Bowl days after turning two, S.S. with the L.A. Phil, including Elmo (K.C.). Now watching it breaks my heart. How could you, Kevin Clash?!? You certainly had a VERY BIG SURPRISE in store :(
