I pored over the animations you included in the Sesame Street section of this issue. The alphabet “ads” were so smart, effective. I found myself tapping my feet as I watched the one for “J.” The one for “E” was wonderful too. Amazing that they unabashedly supported unconventionality in their era. They made it cool. Knowing this history makes me love Sesame Street even more.
Absolutely. By the '90s, Sesame Street was downright famous for letting artists cut loose. Sally Cruikshank said in one interview back then that "they give you complete freedom and they're very supportive and non-interfering." We've even read that MTV took its formula for animation from Sesame Street. So cool.
