Doll House

About This Movie

So, 'Doll House' from 1970 is this charming little piece from the Sesame Street archives. It's a simple but effective song about the number 2, with Juli Christman's vocals giving it a sweet vibe. The live-action segment by Jim Henson showcases two girls, Sumiko Kimura and Alison von Brock, playing with their doll house, which creates this warm, nostalgic atmosphere. There's a playful twist when the cats enter, bringing a bit of chaos to the scene. The pacing is leisurely, reflective of childhood playtime, and the practical effects are minimal but add to the charm. It's not just a song; it’s a slice of the whimsical essence that Henson captured so well in his works.

Doll House is somewhat of a rarity in the Sesame Street collection, with few copies making their way into private collections. The film's simplicity and charm make it an interesting piece for collectors, especially those focused on the whimsical early works of Jim Henson. Its scarcity often leads to discussions about the lesser-known Henson creations and how they fit into the broader Sesame Street legacy.
