This is a cute instructional short about school buses. I think this little girl is adorable, and she is smirking the whole time! It must have been fun for her to film this. The one little boy who runs down the road to catch the bus reminds me a lot of my little brother. I like the music a lot, too.

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Here's a bit of an odd one. It would be so perfect for mst3k to do. Poor Kitty.

Re: Instructional Videos/Teaching Films
That was an interesting one, and yes, kind of odd, but likable. One thing I found strange was that the girl's voice sounded like that of adult—they must have used a woman with a child-like voice, for some reason.
Re: Instructional Videos/Teaching Films
Yes, I noticed that, too. Reminds me of that twilight zone episode The Bewitchin' Pool where they did that to the girl.

Here's Ron Popeil selling the Chop-a-Matic.
Really a vintage informercial, but we'll classify it as an instructional film.
Actually I'd like to have one of these.

Re: Instructional Videos/Teaching Films
Yeah! Was just thinking about that one...
Re: Instructional Videos/Teaching Films
Just found a vintage Chop-o-matic on ebay and bought it—in the original box.
Re: Instructional Videos/Teaching Films
Awesome! Post a picture when you get it! I wonder if they ever thought that so many years later their advertisement would still work

Re: Instructional Videos/Teaching Films
I finally got around to watching that little infomercial.... My goodness, that guy was sure fake in tone, don't you think? I don't like him one bit. The way his voice trailed was kind of creepy. I suppose this was a common marketing tone of voice? You're supposed to be persuaded to trust your salesman. I don't!
I bet your Chop-O-Matic cost more than 3.98. you should write to the company if they're still in existence and complain. baha ho ho.
