But, understandably, much of that has to do with our meet and greet with The Electric Company last year. I just didn’t expect him to fall in love with this show at just two years old. I loved the show growing up, and so, this is definitely a show that I hoped the kid would love just as well. One show in particular, The Electric Company, is one that we watch together almost non-stop. And along with his love for music, we’re big on educational shows, especially ones with awesome musical segments. He plays his guitars to any song or show anything and everything is a drumset he has a quirky fondness for banjos and plays his harmonica even before eating breakfast. He loves to beatbox (thanks, Biz Markie) and like many preschoolers, he turns any conversation into a song. Music, ultimately, is one of the kid’s favorite things. One can never have too many Elmos, right?ĭo you guys have any favorite Elmo memories? If you do, make sure you check out Elmo’s Facebook page and share your memories over there, too!īe on the look out for my next post about cool Elmo gadgets and goodies worth checking out. In fact, two Christmases ago, the kid got not one, but I think three Elmo dancing toys. Through this blog and beyond, I’ve been so fortunate to recall quite a few fun and surreal Elmo experiences, including an unforgettable tour of Sesame Street, the kid listening to Elmo “read” to children on the White House Great Lawn for the Easter Egg Roll and most recently, visiting Sesame Place for opening day and visiting Sesame Workshop with the kiddo.Įlmo is well loved in our home, and naturally, he’s a fixture in it as well. Maybe it’s the cutesy talk, Elmo’s World or the fact that he’s just plain cute, there’s no doubt about it, Elmo is well loved by kids young and old. Sesame Street and the gang have touched many families in a myriad of ways, but it’s Elmo that always finds a way to the little ones’ hearts. He appeared in the credits of Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration, flying with Super Grover, wearing a cape.It’s everyone’s favorite fuzzy red guy’s birthday today, and we here at NKT wanted to send happy wishes to Elmo. Luis gives a rather befuddled look to the camera, as a sample score of his theme song plays. Teeny Little Super Guy later appeared in a cameo during Episode 4196, as one of the seven items Luis manages to extract from Leela's troubled washing machine. Essra Mohawk sang the vocals, recorded to create the illusion of four-part harmony.

The theme song and background score were composed by Larry Gold, with lyrics by Stuart Horn. I had a couple of months to create the hundreds of cups that were needed to play out any possible scenario and create the sound tracks. We all followed Sesame Street’s curriculum of topics and I was given a contract to develop the series. But Jim Thurman started playing him down and I dropped my resentments. I couldn’t understand people who couldn’t come up with anything more original for an animated character than yet another super guy. “It was his idea that the character be a super hero, which made me hate him for that for about a week. He initially pitched the idea to producer Dave Connell. Fierlinger spoke at length about the character and production process in a 2005 Livejournal post. The first Teeny Little Super Guy cartoon took two months to create. Reruns of these segments carried on until Season 32. Some segments featured flashbacks to Teeny Little Super Guy's childhood. This also allowed Fierlinger to use a kitchen counter and assorted dishes and kitchenware as props, inside his own kitchen. The segments were distinguished by Fierlinger's unique animation method, wrapping cels around transparent plastic cups, so that a movement cycle could be achieved by simple rotation of the cups. Writer Jim Thurman provided the character's gravelly voice, and scripted the segments. Though ostensibly a superhero, Teeny Little Super Guy was actually more of a practical problem solver. Teeny Little Super Guy appeared in animated segments created by Paul Fierlinger for Sesame Street, beginning in Season 15. Teeny Little Superguy as part of the display at the Brooklyn Public Library
