Kermit the Frog in “A B C D E F … Cookie Monster!”

Posted on July 28, 2011 by The Retroist

If you ever needed to see a moment that catches the magic and sweetness of Kermit the Frog, check out this wonderful offbeat and I would guess largely unscripted moment from Sesame Street. The little girl is adorable and charismatic and Kermit actually reacts to her. It is pure magic. A B C D E F …Cookie Monster!

Peachy pointed me to this photo in the Retroist Image Pool last week and I have looked at it a few times since then. I like the style and the colors, but what really has captured my attention is imagining how satisfying the sound of closing the lid on this thing must be.
