Funny thing is, Clokey didn't mean to get into kids' shows. He made his first animated short as a demo of his camera skills. His intent was to show off what he could do and hopefully land a job in regular movie productions.
He managed to get it into the hands of a big-time movie producer who came back and said he loved it.
At that point Clokey figured he was set, major productions, feature films, Hollywood stars and all that. The producer told him no, we need more of those animated pieces!
He was sort of bummed at first but ended up loving it.
