No Small Matter

No Small Matter is a 2020 documentary about the importance of early childhood education, narrated by Alfre Woodard.
Rosemarie Truglio, Vice President of Education and Research for Sesame Workshop, is interviewed in a section of the film discussing executive functioning skills, a curricular topic used on Sesame Street. Cookie Monster interrupts to ogle a plate of cookies and is promised even more cookies if he can wait until Truglio is done with her interview. Cookie is then seen demonstrating a number of strategies used in delayed gratification, such as an "out of sight, out of mind" approach (by coning off the interview area), building a house of cards, and singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on a karaoke machine. By the time he rejoins Truglio, he's rewarded with several cookies. The scene is punctuated with a short music button lifted from "Fat Cat."
David Rudman is given special credit for his performance, with Frankie Cordero credited as "Assistant Puppeteer."
