The Most Important Person - "Why Not Try?" (1972)

Views: 1351

Here is a segment of the animated short "The Most Important Person". This one's called "Why Not Try?". (color's a bit off - there's an off-air version with slight variations and better color here)

These aired on WFLD Channel 32 and WTTW Channel 11 during the late-seventies and possibly as late as the early eighties? (And, I'm sure, on many other local stations)

Dispensa's Castle of Toys was located in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois on Route 83 and Roosevelt Road.
