SFX in "Sesame Street"

[wiley207]

I'm a cartoon/sound effects kind of guy, so here's a question...

What kind of sound effects does "Sesame Street" use? I've seen "Muppet Family Christmas" and that used some Hanna Barbera SFX, such as the sound of a car skidding and crashing, and using some Hanna Barbera thunder SFX when Mr. Count's laughs joyfully after counting Kermit and Robin as "two worried frogs."
Does Sesame Street use those HB SFX (especially on the early episodes?)

Muppet dude,
I don't know how that worked, back then, as far as using FX (of course now you can go to a record store and get a CD of Hanna-B fx).
I do know that some "classic" hanna-b FX always sounded familiar, even back then. Maybe they were licensed, or they just shared the sounds (gasp) because they just seemed so "omnipresent".

It sounds like Hanna B-type FX in some of the early Sesame animation...one that definitely comes to mind is the R-Wizard ("anything that begins with R and I'll show you some magic"), after the kid says "radio" (or was it rope?) for example...sounds like H-B to my ears. And I think after he says "rip" it does the sound of a H-B character running...bongos or something. : )
