Check out the Frog Prince too. It's got the first appearances of both Robin and Sweetums. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU6kh7SfDbA These old muppet specials were amazing.

The artistry and ambition of Jim's earlier works were always richer and more inventive than a lot of what came later. Thanks for finding and sharing this.

Such a part of my childhood! Is there a reason that this doesn't have a Boing Boing "Family" tag? I love that feed and really appreciate it!

This came on the big old RCA in the main playroom, and a bunch of other kids and I sat down and watched. Made me a Muppet fan, as if Sesame Street hadn't.
