A few funny short movies I remember seeing on tv as a kid were very memorable, but I'm not sure what the name of the movies are.
1. Channel 21 used to air short movies featuring a guy that always got into accidents like being high on a tree, and upon chopping it down, he fell down.
2. A Boy, His Dog and a frog. This is what being a boy is about. going out with your dog and looking for a frog down by the creek. It's a very funny movie as the boy got muddy and dirty during his attempts to catch the frog. The funny part was seeing him trying to catch the frog, as he leaped away. Seeing frogs hop like that is hilarious. And just when he gave up and went home to take a bath, the frog followed him home and went upstairs to see him. Ribbit.
3. The Lollypop dragon- various film strip stories seen in school, with a tape recorder playing a pre-recorded track for the stories. When I saw the image of the Lollypop dragon during my nostalgic search, the green dragon somehow reminded me of Zak from Dragontales.
4. ZAP! a kids movie seen in school of a kid who gets magical powers by mixing various ingredients together and then reaches his hands out and shouts "Zap!" whenever he wanted to change something.
5. Channel 21 used to air various education short movies, one such I remember was Inside Out.
6. I remember an animated short film, where an young alien creature lands on Earth, and is lost. A little girl is playing and notices the alien and helps him out and shows him around. Later, you hear, her mom call her "Maria." the little girl explains to the alien child that it's her mamma calling, and suddenly hundreds of language translations of Mama was shown on the screen and as the alien cries out for his mama, his mom comes and picks him up.
7. An animated poem about the colors, as a woman narrates it and asks what is black, white, red, etc, and tells a poem of what those colors mean to her.
