I was fortunate enough to meet Dan a few months ago and see some of his reel (which included some of his Sesame Street work). I don't think this is his but I could be wrong.
Dan's style appears to be almost effortless and his timing is about as close to perfect as you can get. I'd put him up there with anyone in the business.

Jasen, I'm enough of a nostalgic nerd to possess the Sesame Street: Old School DVD sets that have been released so far; Volume I and Volume II - it seems the pattern is one volume every year around November. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
Anyhoo, the Bread, Milk, and Butter segment is listed with the 1972 season 4 material. I'll see if I can find any "creator" credits on the DVD. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Yup, it's Jim Simon all right. I just was going to post my findings after digging around a bit online. Thanks devourax!
And trust me, you'll definitely enjoy the DVD sets! Lots of great material on there, including quite a bit of Bud Luckey's classics, like Ladybug Picnic and The Alligator King. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Thanks for reminding me of the wonderful work Bud Luckey did on Sesame Street. It was great to team up with Bud again at Pixar.
I did my fair share of animation as well on Sesame Street. Those were fun days.

The Sesame Street clip I'm looking for had a monster in a high chair singing "boo hoo wah wah sob sob" (blow nose in handkerchief).
These were among my first words and my parents had no idea what I was saying. They knew I got it from Sesame Street but never saw the clip. I'd love to send it to my mom and say..."Here it is! 30 years later! This was what I was saying!"

*Correction:
On the last YouTube link I posted above :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSa6aE3FwF0
Dan Haskett himself left a comment identifying the animator of that piece as Bob McKnight. I just now noticed Dan's comment on the video. I had done a Search on YouTube for "Dan Haskett" and that is one of the ones that turned up. It looks close enough to Dan's work that it could have been ... but apparently isn't .
I'm pretty sure the first two I posted are , in fact, the work of Dan Haskett.
If anyone has more YouTube (or other) clips to post of his work I'd love to see them.

Wow! That was a long time ago, but I animated a bunch of those Sesame Street opening "commercials," such as, "This show is brought to you by the letter F."
I animated a lot of them directly on paper, and colored them in with markers. On occasion, I did cel animation. I did some of those goofy "Countdowns" as well. Like when the rocketship takes off.
The west coast producer was a guy named Ken Snyder who lived in my home town of Santa Barbara. Ken was a great guy and we loved working for him. He passed away in the eighties, I think. Snyder was also the producer of "Roger Ramjet," although I never got to work on that show.
