Hi, I was in elementary school in Pasadena and somehow (not quite sure how) me and a group of other kids were on Villa Alegre, and we got to go to the Hanna Barbera studios to see how they made the animated film Charlotte's Web, which was new at that time. .
It was a great day. I remember we got in a bus and drove to the studios somewhere in Los Angeles. There were maybe six kids. We spent the day filming and touring the studios. We learned how the animators made the cartoon and what the animation process was (don't really remember the details, but I do remember looking at the animators' desks and them showing us their work. We had a nice lunch in the cafeteria and and the gentleman who played the host was very nice to us kids. Maybe I was in 5th grade, I cant remember. . The best part was that we got to skip school that day. I would love to be able to see that episode and show it to my grown children. Is there no way we can get a hold of these? Is there any way to contact the family to see if we could purchase an episode from them? It's a shame that this show isn't available to the public. At the time, I didn't really realize its significance. But I do remember loving the song.
