Ken Snyder's animation?

[Xerus]

There was this animator named Ken Snyder who did cartoons for classic Sesame Street as well as cartoon series in the 60's like The Funny Company and Roger Ramjet.

Does the animation in these clips look a lot like certain Sesame Street cartoons like the Archer Who Stole an ant's apple, Two Guys standing on a V, B things on a wall, Imagination a Way of Being, and the Lion chasing the Leopard? I'm wondering if these were made by Ken Snyder also?

I don't know, but according to the 40th anniversary book, Ken Snyder's studio animated the Alice Braitwaite Goodyshoes segments, the 20 cartoon with the four-armed guru (seen in Learnign About Numbers and episode 276), and the "Fishing Boy/Alphabet Soup" cartoon from season one.

An interesting note: I first heard of the name Ken Snyder from a video guide book, which had an entry for Roger Ramjet. The description acknowledged Ken Snyder, saying that he later went on to work on Sesame Street. Interesting it mentions that obscure fact, since none of the animators or animation companies got credit for their contributions, and I don't think Ken Snyder's Sesame Street work is as known as that of other animators like Jim Henson, Jeff Hale, and Bud Luckey.

I'm also wondering if Fred Calvert made those Sesame Street cartoons I mentioned above. Also Fred did some work on Roger Ramjet.

Here's another Funny Company episode. The background music in this episode sounds exactly like the music from the B is for Basket, Bandit, and Ball cartoon from Sesame Street.
