I'm aware that this was something Pixar themselves uploaded though it nowadays is only viewable as an unlisted embed on their website, only issue with that is it's in 30fps and not 60fps. This upload of it also includes the Introduction that was done for the DVD. The puppet featured in the video is a Purple Mosquito puppet named Sting Mosquito from a lineup of animal hand puppets from Axlon known as "Party Animals" which was released back in the 80s. Bonnie Erickson who has worked on stuff for the Muppets, was involved with the making of these puppets. Pretty much makes this mosquito a Muppet too. Commercial for the puppets: • Axlon Party Animals Co...

2:02 Music from the SpongeBob episode Squidville.

What's crazy is this predates SpongeBob by one year but the stock music has been around for years even by that point
