Special Delivery – Big Apple Birthday

BigApple Birthday 1978

It’s Amy’s 10th birthday, is she excited? Not in the least. “It’s a bore!” she declares as she wakes up and looks at the calendar. Upon arriving downstairs, where her family is waiting with gifts and a cake, she tells them how bored she is with the whole affair.

When her parents tell her that her Aunt Lucy has a gift for her she asks, “Oh Mom, do I have to sit though that long boring bus right when I can be bored with much less trouble right here at home?” But with a little coaxing from her parents she decides that she may as well go and get it over with so off she goes. She arrives at her aunt’s apartment building and discovered that it’s unlike any apartment building she’s ever been to; it is most certainly not a bore!

The first person she meets is the wacky doorman who thinks her Aunt Lucy has been turned into a butterfly! Next is the elevator man, the wacky picknickers, then Little Bo Peep? Old King Cole? “You mean, you’re all characters from fairy tales?” She asks. “Of course, isn’t everybody?” Sleeping Beauty asks with a yawn.

As the characters begin to tell how their average everyday lives changed from humdrum to exciting something begins to happen to Amy. By the time she returns home her whole outlook on life has changed and she can’t wait to tell her best friend who, only yesterday was boring. Before she leaves her mother brings out the gift from Aunt Lucy. What is it? I can’t tell you that, you’ll have to watch and find out for yourself 😉.

Songs include: "What a Bore!" "Look What Happened to Me" and "Feel."

Special Delivery – The Big Apple Birthday

Good evening everyone. Before I post today’s Special Delivery I’d like to apologize for not posting anything last week. Without going too much into it all I will tell you is that it’s been a very rough week which started last Monday evening but praise God He is good and His mercies endureth forever.

This past Sunday afternoon the Lord gave me a word that has literally turned my whole world upside down, but in a good way! I wish I could tell you what is going on but I can’t. All I can tell you is God is good and I am looking forward to watching Him work over the course of this next year.

That being said I should be back to my regular posting schedule this Saturday with Classic Nick Rocks, I did have a list of videos for you but I lost the list! Mercy! I need to either find that list or one of the other two or three I have as back up LOL. I guess that’s what happens when you start your spring cleaning early. ;)




Classic Nickelodeon Special Delivery – 
Big Apple Birthday– from Unicorn Tales (last 15 minutes)

This special delivery is one of my all-time favorites. It’s the story of Amy, a very bored little girl. During the first fifteen minutes of this show Amy wakes up on her birthday only to find that it’s just like any other day, in a word, BORING!

When Amy finds out she has, “to take that long boring bus ride,” all the way up town to Aunt Lucy’s apartment to get her birthday present she isn’t very happy about it but all of that changes when she gets to The Unicorn Arms, the building where Aunt Lucy lives.

She soon meets all of the wacky neighbors who live in the building and we pick up the story when she meets Old King Cole and Sleeping Beauty; who, for some reason is wide awake! But why? Find out in the Big Apple Birthday!
