I'm freaking ecstatic I found this on youtube! My parents had a tape of award-winning animated shorts, one (and the best) of which was this! My brother and I were obsessed with it when we were little. My favorite part was the musical staircase ditty. My brother was partial to the blabbermouth computer. We used to debate the merits of each.

I remember seeing this in the early 80's. I'm astounded by how well I remember the images, the dialgue and especially that catchy tune.

I though this was a meaningless piece of crap when i saw in 1973 and I was right.

When I was in 7th grade, I worked in the school library. They had just a few "film strips" if any of you guys remember those from back in the day, anyway CLOSED MONDAYS was one on them and I watched it about a million times. To discover it again on YouTube was AWESOME! Thank you so much I love this short and thought I would never see it again. This is truly a great work.

I don't knoooow! I want to, but I also want to make music. Whatever pays the bills is what I'm gonna have to do.

Wow. Bickford is amazing. Some of the greatest stop-motion of all time. Are you still animating?
