Numbers

**Numbers** is an animation series in *Fem myror*. In this series, a number of animals or objects, whether they are the same species, odd-one-out or belonging to one thing, are represented by the number of the day that matches. This series has seven animations for each number 1 to 9, with a total of 63 animations, as there are supposed to be. There are also three animation styles:

1. A segment ends with a colored number in a colored 3D effect, set in a custom font (3 animations). A voice that reads the number is represented by one of the two different types of music that follows. If it's a child's voice, the music is a synthesized "Shave and a haircut". If it is an adult male or female voice, the music consists of four synthesized horn notes, followed by a tubular bell note (the same type of music from some of the Elephant Letters animations).
2. A segment ends with a colored number in a black 3D effect, set in the font Futura Heavy or Avant Garde Bold, with the numbers 1 and 4 modified (2 animations). A female voice says the number over the animation before it fades to the number. A child voice then reads out the number, followed by the last bit of Perrey & Kingsley's "Countdown at 6" (from their album "*The In Sound From Way Out!*").
3. A segment ends with a white number in a black 3D effect, set in the font Futura Bold, with the numbers 1 and 4 modified (2 animations). The sound and music are the same as before, but for this style the number fades over the animation. After the child's voice reads the number, the animation disappears and only the number remains when the last bit of "Countdown at 6" is played.

Many of the segments, except for those for number 1, were brought to *Sesame Street*, where the audio is a semitone lower and the Swedish vocals are removed. From the mid-80s, Sesame Street's original human actors Roscoe Orman (for 2-4) and Sonia Manzano (for 5-9) provided the voice-overs counting the animals / objects and read the number. Most segments have the voice that says the number of animals / objects after counting them, such as two elephants, eight bats, nine sheep and so on.

One of the segments, "eight bats" was released on the home video "Elmo Says BOO!". However, the animations were later removed from the episodes released on "Old School: Volume 3", due to international rights from SVT.

The animations, two for each number, were recreated for the 1999 PC game of *Fem myror*, both parts 1 (Numbers 3, 5, 7, 9) and 2 (Numbers 1, 2, 4, 6, 8).

## Online and video availability

Currently, 95% of the series is fully available online. 96% of the animations are currently well known.

"6 chickens", from episode X 6 (Version 3), used to be available online worldwide on SVT Play, from the early 2010's. Two of the animations for 1 are still considered lost and unknown.

In May 2022, YouTuber Scoop Guy 2022 (The Creator of this Wiki) recreated an imagined version of the three missing number segments, borrowed from the animations for 8 and 9. This is considered false.
