I remember enjoying Anamalympics, but had forgotten that bit. Very nice, with the infinity fish, and the jam rock, and so on and so forth.
[edited to remove a resolved technical question]
Thatās odd. Should wake up soon.
The bit with Dean Wilson the otter is a nice, lightly entertaining bit of Animalympics to watch (a movie which otherwise drags), and includes a brief parody of Olympic swimmer Mark Spitz. Except then this weird psychedelic sequence happens, with an artsyle thatās completely different - itās quite the Big-Lipped-Alligator-Moment. Interesting trivia though - notice all the glowy line stuff going on in this animation? Lisberger Studioās next big project was Tron.
I loved this movie! Still have the soundtrack.
Got the DVD on German import! Soundtrack by Graham Gouldman of 10cc. Not one throwaway tune in the bunch. āReneās Songā is surprisingly melancholic stuff for a childrenās TV special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oGwLsvt_LI&t=4m0s

That was seriously trippy.
Was there a segment of Animalympics featuring dog ice skaters, or maybe skiers?
But Rob, winners donāt use drugs.
Video not available in my countryā¦
This video is not available in your country. (Sweden)
ProxMate, a Firefox add-on, will unblock it (but not when itās embedded). At least it does for me.
I donāt remember this movie specifically, but I do remember the excellent thematically-related TV show Laff-a-lympics, which I believe ran for two seasons in the 70s.
The movie had a pretty good run on HBO in the early 80s. My favorite gag was the Japanese diving whale, named āOno Nonoā
Iām in the US and the message Iām getting is āWatch this video on YouTube. Playback on other web sites has been disabled by the owner.ā
Itās probably here somewhere, Iāll have to look for it later:
Just watch it on YouTube by clicking on its YouTube icon in its playerās status bar.
I tried, but it wouldnāt show me one - I just get a screen of fake static with that message on it and nothing at the bottom, including no āwatch it on YouTubeā link near the lower right corner, like you can usually find. If you can see one then YouTube is being nicer to you than it is to me.
I see that Rob put a link to the the whole 1-hour 18-minute video in his description, but aināt nobody got time for that.
Interesting.
I recorded this off of the Disney Channel back in the early 1990s. My son, who was but a toddler at the time, loved it - Iām pretty fond of it, myself.
There were several different animals used for the ice-skaters; I think one was an elephant. But hereās info from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animalympics
