Before Sesame Street made the 1989 short of animated Lemmings jumping off a cliff, they made this beautiful piece of claymation. To achieve the effect, they start with a "loaf" of clay with colors and images all braided throughout, then slice off the end one piece at a time. No computer trickery. This was made for Sesame Street's 1988-89 season, but never aired because the spinning numbers were deemed counter-educational. The animated version aired instead. Sung by the Lemmings, a NYC a cappella group, with solo by Michael Winther. James Earl Jones guest stars on the number 30. Directed by Jon Stone.
