Description
Episode Description
Moona lives in a pasture bordering a carnival lot where a merry-go-round is in action. Moona envies the merry-go-round horses and loves the music. After lights out on the merry-go-round, she becomes acquainted with a brooding merry-go-round horse who wants a short vacation. Happily, Moona offers to substitute for him and thereby both their problems are solved. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
Series Description
Magic Doorways are stories written and told by Betty Girling, director of the Minnesota School of the Air, especially for imaginative children. They are invited to meet Betty at the Story Wagon for her stories of people like themselves, stories of mythical royalty, stories of things and stories of flowers. One of the basic ideas of the series is the belief that the imaginative children's television can, with animal props, suggest the story without depriving the child of the embroidery of his own imagination. The emphasis then is not on "recreating" situations, but on maintaining a spirit and setting though which suggestions will serve to stimulate the varied personalities of the audience. Magic Doorways was produced for the NET by KUOM, the University of Minnesota. This series of 65 fifteen-minute episodes was originally shot in black and white on kinescope.
