All of the films, except one, clocked in at 7 minutes. The extended-length title was among the earliest, "Abner the Baseball", a 16-minute special seen in November 1961, based upon a tale which was among the tracks on "The Kingdom of Eddie Lawrence" LP. It is a first-person account by an anthropomorphized baseball describing its experience of being hit out of Briggs Stadium by Mickey Mantle in a September 10, 1960 home run against the Detroit Tigers. Bizarre whimsy, as usual, was the order of the day.
