A delightfully creepy moment from The Daydreamer (1966), a Rankin-Bass feature that combines live-action with "animagic" (aka stop-motion animation), to tell four stories from Hans Christian Andersen. In one of the stories, Thumbelina, our protaganists must enter the home of Mr. Mole--a dark, dank cave crawling with spiders, bugs and bats, who treat us to the memorable musical number, "Isn't it Cozy Here?"
ISN'T IT COZY HERE
Isn't it cozy? Isn't it cozy? Isn't it cozy here?
Ten spiders, a-gaily spinning,
Nine bats a-hanging pretty,
Eight caterpillars here and there,
Isn't it cozy here?
Seven centipedes a-flitting,
Six ladybugs a-knitting,
Five busy beetles here and there,
Isn't it cozy here?
Four beez a-busy being,
Three fleas a-quickly fleeing,
Two flies right here and there,
Isn't it cozy here?
One mole is here to tend it,
No windows, thats to lend it
A very cheery, friendly air,
Isn't it cozy? Isn't it cozy? Isn't it cozy here?
The Daydreamer is available on DVD here.
