Here’s a clip of Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure which is the kind of thing kids in the 70s were raised on. It gets practically David Lynch at 1:20 – a nice example of the decade’s affinity for the turn of the century (Farrell’s anyone?).
Man, the ’70s reveled in that Victorian Revival. Stained glass, wicker, ferns and the bathrooms hung with sepia toned photos of women or children standing naked in wash basins.
The ’30s cartoon (Merry Melody?) of skeletons dancing to Cab Calloway’s “Minnie The Moocher” was shown occasionally on TV in the ’70s and it creeped me out. I think it was drawn over live shots of dancers. Their movement was uncannily lifelike.
