In 1975, Carole King created "Really Rosie," a musical based on Maurice Sendak stories like "Chicken Soup with Rice" and "Alligators All Around" that was animated into a TV special. What made it so memorable and elevated beyond just another animated special, was the frankly incredible jazz chord soundtrack by Carole King. Her soft rock album, "Tapestry" from 1971, shows a fusion of pop music with jazz and R&B that is one of the foundational albums of the era, making her the "Godmother of Yacht Rock." Thus, "Really Rosie" has the distinction of being one of the earliest Yacht Rock musicals.

Yacht Rock Once, Yacht Rock Twice, Oh My Oh Chicken Soup With Rice.

The galloping horse is considered one of the first true subjects of the cinematic image, beginning in 1878 with Eadweard Muybridge's The Horse in Motion. This first film became a major element in motion design and the understanding of the persistence of vision i.e: how many frames it takes for the eye to see a continuous image.

These studies became the groundwork for stop motion and cel animation, helping animators see exactly, frame by frame, how locomotion works. Each of these films uses a different type of media: paint, puppets, cutout, and celluloid, to create charming horse characters and visually beautiful scenes.
