Oh, I thought I'd NEVER find this. I remember seeing both this and the original a few times as a kid around 1980 on TV. Something about it really stuck in the memory and its been great to finally track it down.
I remember the final montage in particular and the general upbeat, feel-good atmosphere of both.
Its funny how some things stick so long in the memory, even if, like these shorts, nothing spectacular actually occurs. Maybe its just the time and its ambiance itself we remember and these films act simply as a prop.
At any rate, well worth the seeking out and sharing with a new generation.
