The King of Eight & The Queen of Six, Stop-Motion Animation on Sesame Street

by Scott Beale on September 16, 2009 · 3 comments

The early years of Sesame Street featured some great stop-motion animation, two of my favorites shorts were “The King of Eight” and “The Queen of Six”, produced by Jim Henson for the 1970-71 season.

Did you know, that this is where rap came from? And now you’ve learned something today. Take that home and chew it. It’s free.
