So here's one of those posts on some of my inspirations. This is actually something I vaguely remember as a kid and actually discovered a few days ago. It's a segment from Sesame Street (old school Sesame Street... not sure which decade) and is, in my opinion, a brilliant peice of animation. The way the animators used not only the drawings on the dishes but also the shapes and movement of the dishes themselves to tell the simple story is wonderful! And what's really astounding is that these types of segments (Little Super Guy) were fairly common and continually different! The mere fact that people working on a public television show for preschoolers took enough time to create painstaking stop motion animations just astounds me! And aside from that, makes me want to work in this field myself. ;)
The Sesame Street crew really went above and beyond over the years with not only stop motion animations and puppetry, but also beautiful hand animated segments, all for the benefit of little kids. If only more people nowadays would take so much pride in their work and care for their audience.
