That is creepy. I couldn't even watch all of it. "oh, dear, dear, another little expressionless ape-child is going to get run over"....ahhh!

I will say, it does sound and look like the films we watched in school in the 60s. That'll put a twist in your personality! L.

ps, beta, is this an educational film from your program??? (running and hiding now)

Sort of. We use it for behavior modification ala "A Clockwork Orange"

YIKES!

Save me from the psychologists!

You are a stronger woman than I.

MTKitchen, I meant to tell you that my flight back from SLC was piloted by a woman (on United). We sat for an hour in the terminal in SLC, and the announcer guy said, "The pilot has received word...blah, blah..from O'Hare, and he...oops, she...wants to go ahead and board the plane". Then we heard her voice on the overhead during the flight, but it's easy to mix up who's the pilot, who's the flight attendant, etc. Getting off the plane though, as they all stand there to say good bye, it was clearly an older woman with white hair wearing the pilot's hat, in the pilot's space in the cockpit. COOL! I thought! I must tell mtkitchen!

I liked Brokebike Mountain a lot better...

Oh my gosh, I can't believe that I watched the entire 14 minutes and 45 seconds! The music was so 60's! I am sure that I watched many videos just like that one when I was in grade school.

And not only did I watch it...I retold it to my kids this evening while we were dining out for dinner after church. They guessed early on just how it got the title. Smart kids.

How do you find this stuff?

That's nuts.

Actually, I thought it was pretty funny. Tinkerbell was actually primping her hair compulsively, not scratching her head. And wasn't that Edward Everret Horton doing the narration? (showing my age here). They sure picked some bizarre names for the ape kids...

thanks for being brave Lisa S.H.

I thought it was pretty funny too and definately bizarre. the crazy papier mache monkey masks with the skinny little ape tails were great.
But then I teach art what can I say.

I too am a product of the 60's elementary school system - oh what an era
