What if Sesame Street was ANIMATED ?

I always sort of wanted a cartoon spin off in the style of Big Birds' imagination in Follow That Bird and the cartoon style drawings in the old SS magazines :3

I like SS for what it is-- just classic puppetry. :smile:

As far as who'd do an animated SS along with Sesame Workshop and the Jim Henson Company, I would've gone with Marvel (hey, Marvel worked with Jim Henson on Muppet Babies, after all!) rather than DiC.
That might work. And if it were animated in the 1970s, DePatie-Freleng could've done an animated Sesame Street series. (DePatie-Freleng was the old name for Marvel Productions). Also, Joe Raposo worked for DePatie-Freleng before; he scored "Halloween is Grinch Night" and "Pontoffel Pock, Where Are You?"
