I don't know what's worse...the music or the clothes.

Loved this intro each and every time it played.

This would take about a week for a typical college-level art school 3d modeling class to do now.

this was when people were creative and had to think things through to make it work. now EVERYTHING is done start to finish through a computer and called "art". this new "art" sure killed creativity.

This is an institution of my childhood, wow. People, ~computers~ were involved! And it didn't have a graphic interface! Traditional animation and hand-painted typography! Innovative television - 24 hours a day! Brilliant, right? Oh, nostalgia. <3

So THAT'S how they did it. I didn't actually know that. This is gold worthy of being discovered. 5/5 + Favorited.
