Claymation Bert & Ernie

Several weeks ago I read in Entertainment Weekly that the start of the new season of Sesame Street was nearing and that they would be debuting a new segment featuring Bert & Ernie in claymation. Being a Sesame Street purist I was enraged! How dare they take away the classic Bert & Ernie Muppets and replace them with clay! I was prepared to hate this new addition to Sesame Street.

So Ben and I were watching Sesame Street two Mondays ago and the new clay Bert & Ernie segment happened to be on that day. To my surprise I absolutely adore it! Bert & Ernie are so adorable in clay and they go on such cute little adventures! In addition, Bert & Ernie still appear as their regular Muppet selves periodically, so I am a happy camper. And yes, I am well aware of the fact that I have no life.

Below is a link to a YouTube video of a clip of the new segment. It is a pretty rough video but you get the idea.
