Animated Pins and Buttons
Description: Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids is an American animated television series created, produced, and hosted (in live action bookends) by comedian Bill Cosby, who also lent his voice to a number of characters, including Fat Albert and himself. The show features an educational lesson in each episode, emphasized by Cosby's live-action segments. In addition, at the end of the early episodes, the gang typically joins in their North Philadelphia junkyard to play a song on their cobbled-together instruments, summarizing the show's lesson.
Description: The Great Grape Ape Show was an American animated television series that ran from September 6 to December 13, 1975, for 16 episodes. The title character is The Great Grape Ape, who is a 40-foot-tall purple gorilla with the mind of a child. His catch phrase is saying his name twice ("Grape Ape, Grape Ape") after anything anyone says, usually as a form of agreement or acknowledgement of what was said. He travels the countryside with his canine pal Beegle Beagle, whom he calls "Beegly Beagly." Grape Ape and Beegle Beagle usually ride around in a small yellow van driven by Beegle Beagle with Grape Ape sitting on the roof. A recurring bit would be for him to "rev up" the tiny vehicle like a child with a friction toy, then hop aboard.
Description: The Point is a cartoon fable first aired February 2, 1971, and was the first animated feature ever to air in prime time on US television. The Point tells the story of a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where the law says that everyone and everything must have a point. The film is an allegory showing how society rejects people and ideas that are different from the norm, and makes this point over and over again throughout. Long story short, be yourself!
