One animation about the alphabet that's NOT going to get shown on "Sesame Street"

wait, what ?

Welp.

ok ok not a feature length - sue me. Like I mentioned in my youtube post: the letter "G" at 2:48 is creeeeeepy as all get out.

Effective short.

Sesame Street has these short, often animated segments that introduce alphabets, numbers or words. If I didn't know Lynch directed this short, I would still have described this as a Lynchian version of those segments. (The score reflects more of my personal enjoyment, rather than the overall quality of the film; criticker probable score: 67)

Calming, in a little strange way.

Fun way to learn the alphabet. I'll be sure to show my kids this for when they have to learn (but seriously, this is less creepy than some of the Sesame Street alphabet skits from the '70s).

When Lynch does pure horror, it's the scariest damn thing ever. This is right up there with the most unsettling stuff he's done. Short and empty, but quite effective.

This short film creeps me out. Never has the haunting tune of the alphabet song scared me to my core. Only lasting about 3 minutes, this film by David Lynch raised the hairs on my arms with fright. Disturbing chanting of the alphabet song and a very frightening scene of a a girl bleeding under her white bed sheets, this movie is just disturbing. I've never been one to get into a short film, but this movie was fantastic. No wonder Lynch became a mini celeb. after this movie.

Really like the ending. Interesting idea too.

Oddly calming.

I find this difficult to masturbate to...

Bizarre, disturbing and oddly compelling. Typical Lynch film.

Probably the most boring-to-death short film I have ever seen. Also, the ending is simultaneously atrocious and ridiculous - that's not a good combination AT ALL.

Well...it's weird alright.

Visually one split second frame (extreme close-up of a girl) stucked in my mind after this shortie.

Pretty disturbing. Okay, very disturbing. And pretty amazing knowing this was one of the first pieces of film he ever made.

This is pretty fucked up and awesome.

Creepy, weird film about your ABCs. Looks cool.

An insane trip into the anxiety and fears that surround childhood. Seriously fucked up, definitely worth watching. The alphabet song will never be the same...

I actually liked it.

01 Eylul 08, 22:26 & ilk izledigimde apisip kaldigim ve gerilmekten birsey anlamadigim, surreal bir lynch kisasi. Daha sonra kare kare baktigimda, tum dikkatimi verdigim de ancak anlayabildiklerim, ögrenmenin,alfabenin,insan beynine hukmetmesi ve sonunda insanlarin beynini tümden isgal etmesini, onlari kisitlamasi, tabii Lynch tarzi...Sonunda kabusu gören kiz kan kusuyor, bu sahneye dikkat edilmeli...Belki baska biri baska bi sekilde yorumlar ,ileri de ben baska dusunurum.

Leave it to Lynch to make a surreal nightmare of a film about the letters of the alphabet.

I will play this for my kids, and they better learn the damn alphabet through this or else! They'll have nightmares, but I could care less.

Very cool. It surprises me a little that Lynch never really did a great deal of stop-motion later on.
