Felt like sharing this here:
This actually reminds me a lot of the 1985 Golden Book Video adaptation of the same book, complete with identical partial animation effects (except they actually have their lips move now, too) and even the same "Nobody knows the problem we have" song! I also recognized David Rudman's somewhat stilted Cookie Monster voice, but at least it's good they got actual Muppet performers again! (In the Golden Book Video version, in addition to Frank Oz as Cookie Monster, he also voiced an Orange Gold AM-type cowboy, and I also heard Fran Brill as Rodeo Rosie and possibly Kevin Clash as Roosevelt Franklin)
Now I'd like to see them do "Everyone Makes Mistakes" and "Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street" as well!
