That show is basically a national treasure in Germany today, so you'll find lots of references to it.
There also used to be a more ecology-centered show with a similar idea, Löwenzahn. It had the gimmick that after the end credits, the main character would directly address the viewers and tell them to turn the TV off NOW.
I'd at expect at least the same from that Toy Story movie.
I never watched sesame street even thought it aired here. I watched Löwenzahn and a bit "Die Sendung mit der Maus" when I was young and I couldn't imagine who I would be today if I didn't watched this when I was young.
It's a bit sad (at least for me) to admit, but I think some programs helped shaped me into the person I'm today, for better or worse.
Today the TV hopefully hasn't got the impact on me that it used to have and I only watch selected programs and not the mainstream TV (I mean the broadcasted channels), but I guess series and movies are still a big part of my life that have a bigger impact on me than I would like to admit.
Anyway what I really wanted yo say is that I'm happy for content that tries to deliver good values and information without trying to manipulate.
