Faith and John Hubley

By the time Sesame Street’s first full episode premiered in November 1969, the Children’s Television Workshop had confirmed that impression.
The first episode featured a psychedelic, morphing piece (E-Imagination) by Faith and John Hubley. There was a disorienting, Yellow Submarine-style cartoon (Jazz #2) wih vocals from Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane. The runaway hit Wanda the Witch came from Tee Collins — the first Black animator to run his own studio in New York.

A pair of Hollywood exiles—she was a former script clerk at Columbia, he was an ex–Disney cartoonist and union activist blacklisted for refusing to name names before the House Un-American Activities Committee—Faith and John Hubley left behind the mainstream to forge a thrillingly experimental animation style all their own.
