Reading through the posts on this thread, I have seen a couple mentions to the hand drawing a bridge for a train to go across. On that angle, does anyone remember the animated drawing of a guitar player (with guitar) that slowly composes on screen with a backdrop of an outdoor promenade...

Olivia (Alaina Reed) sang the song

come to think of it - you're right

One more to ponder for today. Who remembers the fireworks alphabet - and how the heck was that actually done?

That sounds like the one with Maria singing various stuff about seasons, nature and people. Almost every line begins with "I am..." and ends with "I am the world." This song STILL gets stuck in my head whenever I am outside hiking in the fall or whatever.

I remember an episode where Gordon had a headache - and he had to nearly lock himself in his bedroom to get some rest because everybody kept popping up and talking to him. It went on for the balance of the episode.

I read somewhere on another post that the I beam was filmed in a steel mill in Chicago around 1976. The source of the information said that the steel mill is no longer around.

The I beam film is a classic. I remember seeing this several times as a kid and thought that it was pretty neat, but the general consensus seems to say that it was kind of scary. Makes sense to me as the music was (as I remember) very driving and suspenseful with horns, and the final shot of the...

Off the top of my head there are two that I can think of: one this September and one probably in 1985 or so when I was ten. The september one was straight forward: I fell asleep on the couch watching some stuff on PBS. Shortly before I awoke I dreamt that I was talking to some friends and...

I'm getting acquainted with the site a little more now, and to tell you the truth, have spent now several hours looking at all of the posts on classic SS. One I've seen no mention of yet for the short films category (and believe me there are others too) is another 70's one that must have been...

I don't think that it was scary - although I was into my teens the first time that I saw it. I knew that it was one of the typical SS parodies or plays on words, and thought it was kind of funny. Really, what's scary about a letter U that wants to chill with Smokey?

There was another short film that showed the beginning of a snowstorm, with music that accompanied the scenery quite well. There were a lot of still shots of places in NYC that were less famous than what we're accustomed to. But it worked - you could see the overall picture the combination of...

How about the one that makes me cringe at the thought of little kids and sweets: There's a kid probably about 18 months old sitting in a high chair with a seemingly harmless cookie. The VO is Cookie Monster saying "oh what you got there... oh coo-kieee!.... oh it is chocolate cookie..." The...
