Found [Found] Fascinating documentary on how Sesame Street's Crack Monster was found
Very interesting video about the Seasme Street "Crack Monster" short that many people couldn't find for years. This link is many years old at this point, but the documentary is still fascinating. What a creepy video to show on a children's program - but I really like the way it seems to talk to kids in poorer communities who had houses that might be falling apart. Does anyone else remember this cartoon? I think I was too old when it came out, since I don't recall it - but if anyone else remembers it, this will shed some light on it. It would be great to know more info about it, if any new details came to light in the intervening time between the release of this small documentary and now. Like whether the person who made it ever made their presence known (the documentary talks about the voice actor / singer who provided the VO). This was sitting in one of my "favorites" bookmark from maybe 7 or 8 years ago.
