Help me!!! Does anyone else remember this skit?

[honeybehr]

Well I will start with sating Hi, I have been lurking for a while. This post sort of goes with the thread on what skit scared you the most, as it both terrified and fascinated me as a child. From what I remember of the skit, it was a bunch of wind-up toys (jack in the box, clown, toy that does acrobatic flips) in a dark looking room with a classical piano song playing in the background. I don't really remember if the skit had an educational message. Any memory jogging on the clip would be appreciated, along with the name of the song. I have been on amazon for hours listening to piano classics clips and its driving me nuts. I would love if anyone has the clip itself, but I have not seen it on youtube.

Thanks,

Toys to machines film

Hi- I'm not sure if this is the one you're thinking of, but there was a film that began with several mechanical toys in a sort of dark room. There was some soft music playing in the background at first, then the toys began to "come to life" - I think there was indeed a toy acrobat who began doing "flips." The toys began to move across the room, and slowly the film began to shift from children's toys to more technical "real life" robots and machines. The film ended with computer animation of satellites flying toward Saturn and other planets. It was a cute film from the late 1980s and into the 1990s, I think. Anyone else remember this?

I remember that one quite well, and still remember the music pretty well for it too. I know at one point there was a robotic arm playing the piano, and another one that was moving blocks around, I think it might have been spelling Sesame Street.
