Madeline Fretz - Yesterday I was on the Vimeo website searching for Sprout videos, when I came across this nice little Chica Show promotional video - Behind the Squeak, and uploaded it to my channel. The video is about how Chica became famous and got her own show.
Before Chica was born, her parents were in musicals together, making them the first traveling chicken duo. Once Chica was hatched from her egg, she started to dance. Chica's presence spread like wildfire, and she had to be on TV. She made her debut on The Sunny Side Up Show, where she first met her close friend Kelly. News articles about Chica were published every minute and lots of celebrities (Barney, Oscar the Grouch, Richard Blais, Mario Lopez, Dan Zanes…) wanted to meet her. Apparently Chica became so popular, that Andrew Beecham gave her her own show. She liked dressing up, and her parents ran a costume shop, so it was clear that the new show would take place there. Mr. and Mrs. C needed an extra set of hands, and found them in Kelly, who reenacted her face when she learned they hired her. You’ll find a lot of rare footage and pictures in the video.
This is a nice little video and a great backstory on the world's most famous puppet. Besides, this makes me hungry for the Sprout history video I wrote about on this very website months ago. If only I could find it…
UPDATE: It appears NBCUniversal blocked the video in the US, so I posted the link to the original video instead. Enjoy!
