The Butterfly Ball - Love is All - Animated Music Video The Butterfly Ball - Love is All - Animated Music Video
Posted by: theukarchivist

Video duration: 189 seconds

This animation dates from the mid to late 70s and was based on the popular Butterfly Ball poem, and inspired by the lavish artworks of Alan Aldridge. The music track on this is NOT the stringently defended Ronnie James Dio version, so if you like that one, go elsewhere on You Tube. This is the one that broadcast on TV in 1981 with the upbeat more-fun soundtrack that many prefer to Dio.

Posted by: theukarchivist

Video duration: 77 seconds

Cassie was an old crone puppet (made by the Jim Henson (Muppets) Creature Shop) with a mouth on her that was a prime feature in the 1992-93 series of the British Live Saturday morning show 'What's Up Doc'. She proved too over the mark, and was pulled, as were all the other puppet characters. Here is one of her funniest moments. Yvette Fielding and the gang think so too ...
