Who remembers this little film from Sesame Street about a red ball on a track with calliope background music? Directed by Frank Oz, this was certainly a unique way of teaching how to count to 3
It’s worth noting that the original ending where the ball is turned to powder was seen as “tragic” by the preschool audience, so a new ending featuring Heather Henson was filmed. However both versions continued to be shown interchangeably
@HistoryMuppet To film? Maybe a week. For me to solder all those wires? Many months.
@HistoryMuppet Something about this film always hit my brain just right.
@HistoryMuppet I remember this and still love it.
@HistoryMuppet I hear the music already without even tapping the video. 😊
@HistoryMuppet Loved this - no idea it was directed by Yoda.
@HistoryMuppet Wow this took me back. Somethings stay with you. It seems like just yesterday that I’ve seen this for the first time. And I’m pretty sure the first time I saw it was the first time it aired.
@HistoryMuppet I loved this! Loving it again now.
@HistoryMuppet I remember being sad that the ball was ground up.
