    Flip Wilson Cartoon Special from the 70's

    Anyone remember these? All I could find were the intros, but I remember the end of this one freaked me out because at the end of the show he looks out his window and the Statue of Liberty "comes to life" and winks at him. Made me scared to go near the statue for a few years.
    It's all good!

    There seems to be two specials: Clerow Wilson and the Miracle of P.S. 14 (1972) and Clerow Wilson's Great Escape (1974).

    From DVDTalk: The Best of the Flip Wilson Show:

    For animation fans, there are two extras included here on The Best of The Flip Wilson Show that should be reason alone to purchase the set. Two one-half hour cartoons, commissioned by NBC as part of Flip's contract, and produced by famed animation studio DePatie-Freleng, are here, perhaps seen for the first time since their releases in 1972 and 1974. Cleroy Wilson and the Miracle of P.S. 14 (1972, on disc one) and Clerow Wilson's Great Escape (1974, on disc two) are miraculously rendered cartoons in the distinctive DePatie-Freleng style, and are marvelously entertaining little shorts. Playing like a cross between the Peanuts specials and Fat Albert, the Cleroy shorts are something to treasure, and animation buffs and DePatie-Freleng fans will want to seek out The Best of The Flip Wilson Show just to complete their collection.

      Cool! I remember this!
      "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
      'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
      Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
      If your mission is magic your love will shine true."
