2D STOP-FRAME minimalist animation five-minuter parked just before HORSE IN THE HOUSE. “Ted” is a white-man Tarzan-type character, swinging through the trees, eating bananas etc. Titular others included a cowardly chimpanzee and a supercilious crocodile. Motion achieved by attaching their arms and legs to their bodies via those funny brass paper-fasteners that you used to get in art lessons, the ones that folded back (hence show’s title, “Lacy Button-Poppers”). Well, it was the 70s. “Prices” and all.

Was this Israeli? The only evidence it existed is the opening titles on YouTube in Hebrew. I do know Tarzan was huge in Israel, so maybe it’s not surprising. I swear there’s many more Tarzan spoofs and rip-offs than there are official Tarzan productions.
