Lame Animated Dancing Animal Skits

[Drtooth]

Okay... here it is... the absolute worst Sesame Street Skit ever....

Not Ernie's Show and tell

Not Season 32 JTE

Not claymation letters forming from dumb toys.

Not even Global Thingy


I'm talking about those insanely boring, awful, redundant skits of flatly "animated" animals dancing (or, more like hopping back and forth, side to side) while flatly voiced tone death women "sing" Hop hop hop, wriggle like an octopus, or it's time to rhyme...blah blah blah...

Now, I'm an animation major at an art college, and I have seen different animations from all over the world. Some that would make your eyeballs melt out of your head! Scary sstuff, weird stuff, experimental stuff, and stylized stuff. Believe me...this is not experimental nor a style. They are recycling the same stupid idea and filling up worth while segments of the show with lameo dancing animals crap, not fit for a slow witted 5 month old. Why can't they just chuck the entire footage they were sent by this company? Instead they hire them to make NEW ones (new, as in the animations are new, not the concept)

Open letter to Sesame Workshop.... they stink. They are redundant boring and pointless. Next season, if you want to change something, give these guys a pink slip!

Same here!

I believe that. Sesame Street used to have such a variety of animation styles that it was almost comparable to Spike & Mike. Luckily, now we have this ... little kids stay away ...

I'm glad someone knows what I'm a talking about!

We used to have visonaries like Mo Williams and John R. Dilworth (who created Sheep in the Big City and Courage the Cowardly dog, respectively) and others. Now, they buy the bulk of them from "Dumba** Dancing animals Studios!"


Hop Hop Shake your head and Wroggle like a SHUTUP!!!!!

Dr. Tooth,

You think claymation letters forming from toys is DUMB?!?
I don't think so! I LOVED the letter shorts where claymation letters were made from toys because of the funky music playing in the background. When I watched Sesame Re-paved (2000) on Noggin, I recently watched 'F' and 'L'. And I also enjoyed the letter shorts where school tools form letters! The crayon and paint box uses crayons and paint to make some letters like A, B, G, M, Y, etc. And the pencil box uses pencils and stencils to make other letters like E and K, but I LOVED the music they've played.

BTW, the letter shorts weren't bad enough from me, because I've seen them many times on Re-paved, but the STUPIDEST vintage letter segment I saw on any of the Unpaved episodes at the Museum of Radio & Television was the the animated and live-action skit of the letter D, because they showed stupid scenes of a dalmation and a dioxin and never showed the word "dogs". WHAT WERE THE WRITERS THINKING??!?

 

[Drtooth]

Actually, I don't really think it's dumb (clay toys) just tedious and overused (especially on Plaza Sesamo)

 

[Drtooth]

I especially hate ones where a human child is super imposed over them "Interacting" with the animal characters... yeccch!!!

Not even Global Thingy

You know, I actually think they are running out of ideas since they came up with "Global Thingy". I may be young, but I remember the old days when the show was great for even a three year old. Now they talk about pregrency and just the odd sorts that even five year olds wouldn't get at this point. The characters are maturing too much and are picking up fights with each other which I don't get. "Journey To Ernie" clips are played too often, even in two or more episodes on one season. Since when are three year olds able to understand what Rosita is saying? She's starting to use more larger vocab like "Linda" which means "Pretty", but they actually never tell you what it means. Why does every song Elmo sings at the end of Elmo's World go to the tune of "Jingle Bells"? Isn't it out of season? . I have a almost two year old brother and I don't think he understands the latest episodes at all, which is the basiclly the same thought for other toddlers as well.
