Sam and Friends BookThis is VERY interesting!
I figure most are familiar with the work of Swiss artist Etienne Delessert. His work contributed for "Sesame Street" is rather, well...fascinating, yet unsettling in some degree, but mostly fascinating without question. Some of his animations are, to name a few, the one with the giant rabbit , the variation on Aesop's classic tale of "The Fox and the Crow", the overgrowing frog with the ox (which I believe was also inspired by Aesop), and of course, the cartoon with the curly-tounged iguana, the apple tree, and the scary-faced mountain all accompanied by a Scottish or Irish-sounding soundtrack of bagpipes. His animations look quite like Monty Python cartoons, nonetheless.
Well, apparently I had found out that back in November, at a special celebration for "Sesame Street's" recent anniversary, there was a screening of an animated version of the classic song "Bein' Green" done by Etienne Delessert. I only suppose those who had fortunately been able to attend this special event, which I believe was held in New York, had gotten to see this very rare animation.
I do have some questions about this segment. Has this ever aired on the show at all, or was it just created with intentions on airing, and was instantly rejected? If anything, I guess the show's producers just may not have cared for its style (I assume it has very unusual and rather startling visuals), and figured children would find it more intimidating than appealing. Somehow the other cartoons created by this same artist had aired on the show, much less made it to the show. It makes me wonder if a particular cameo was made during the lyrics "...or important like a mountain...", minus the apple tree.
