These things are deeply etched into our memories, a fundamental part of how and when we began to learn about the world around us. Like me, probably you, and tens of millions around the world, those two creative minds were raised on a steady diet of the award-winning, Jim Henson and Co.-created classic educational children's series. That would be perfect for Sesame Street.Ī product of Edinboro-based animator Brad Pattullo's and Edinboro-based singer/songwriter Lori Burke's multicolored imaginations – with help from friends and family – "G" is set to air on Sesame Street this January.
"Is it, like, a song, or a game?" she asks. 'Cause I love it," says my little one after her first of several back-to-back viewings of "G is for Games." Less than a minute in, I knew we were witnessing a gem: A breezy, island-influenced little tune, expertly animated in primary-bold clay, in which a group of floating guppies learn all about games, good gamesmanship, and, in general, good 'ol letter G.
I kept that in mind, and my daughter closeby, when I cued up one of the latest locally-made music videos I was invited to check out. It reminds them of some things that are so much fun …įor honest reactions (and generally pretty spot-on descriptions), just ask a four-year-old. Gathering together, look what they found:
What else can we expect from the upcoming season of “Sesame Street”? “Saturday Night Live” star Kate McKinnon, actress Lucy Liu, pop star Ellie Goulding, and foodie Padma Lakshmi will stop by as guests while singers Josh Groban, John Legend, Alessia Cara and Leon Bridges will perform songs.A group of floating guppies on the school playground For one, is the Cookie Monster allowed to drive the food truck? I mean, have you looked at his eyes? He might have a hard time staying focused on the road. Let’s just hope he and Jeff Goldblum will not get into a celebrity food truck war. Yep, the Cookie Monster is now the Cookie Hipster. “Who better to teach kids how food gets to their plates, putting a Sesame spin on the food truck culture that’s unfolding in communities across the country?” “The video field trips to farms and factories are reminiscent of classic Sesame Street, and Cookie Monster-an enduring favorite with fans of all ages-is the original food fanatic,” Brown Johnson, Sesame Workshop Creative Director, told Food and Wine. Their adventures will take them to a cranberry bog, a pasta factory, and an avocado farm, according to Food and Wine. (We’ll assume Cookie Monster has already spent plenty of time in bakeries and knows how cookies get made.) The segment continues a recent pivot by “Sesame Street” to have Cookie Monster use his influence on children to get them to eat healthier.
And now, one food truck is coming to perhaps the most famous street of all: That’s right, “Sesame Street” is giving Cookie Monster a food truck.Īccording to Entertainment Tonight, Cookie Monster and his new pal Gonger will host a segment called “Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck” when “Sesame Street” returns for its 48th season in November.Ĭookie Monster and Gonger will visit the places that produce the foods in order to educate kids about how dinner gets made. Food trucks are all over the streets of America these days, selling everything from tacos to cupcakes.
