Recently, there was a video going around with a similar style animation made for the American Bicentennial in 1976. It was either made by some of the same people, or both teams were on the same drugs.
I went to high school in a museum. there was an exhibit that showcased generational stuff - Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennial... And that clip played on the Gen X TV with other sesame street/school house rock stuff on repeat. That song is burned into my brain.
Also "Dooo noooot... bother... thiiiis giiiaaant perrrrson."
that's probably not true for most people. there are over 30 local versions of sesame street co-produced by the henson company and whatever tv-station in a particular country requested it, with different focus, cast, and stories, but with the same general aesthetic and target audience.
the swedish one took place in a theater and only got two seasons.

If you are American perhaps. Most other people have no idea what this is.

Man, were psychedelics in the water supply back then?

It's from the 1970s so whippits or quaaludes probably.

Not only in my memory, he also lives right here on my desk. Nu-ne-nu-ne-nu...

Whoa, that's incredible! Was this sold at some point or did you 3d-print it?

It's a real product. This one was a gift from my spouse, who knows me and my foundational embedded pop-culture bullshit well.

Sorry, I have no idea what this is. Some kind of sentient wheeled typewriter presumably but it doesn't ring any bells
