I love the aesthetic of this YouTube (only, so far) show and love the acting and the puppets and … pretty much everything about it and seriously hope they get some sort of deal for production. I didn’t think I could love it any more until this map popped up on a behind the scenes clip. I mean, the models of the subway and farm bus were amazing but a map, too? Holy cow! So to speak. Maybe the production team have Transitmap.net in their RSS feed like I do?

Holy cow indeed, Peter! Although the behind the scenes video only gives us this partial glimpse of Mibukiville’s Hay Ride Transit (HRT) map, it’s pretty obvious that its main source of inspiration is the 1960 “Hutchinson” London Tube Map (The square interchange markers and hard angles where the lines change direction are kind of dead giveaways when identifying this particular edition compared to other versions of the Tube Map). The cool “sunrise” HRT logo is a great touch, and some of the station names are suitably pun-tastic. My favourite would have to be “Pig-Stuy”, which is hilarious.

Yes, there’s some oddities, like the fact that some of the interchange stations don’t seem to have names attached to them, but seeing as this a background prop from a kids’ puppet show, I think we can let it slide. I actually think the attention to detail for such a minor set element is wonderful to see. Check out the video that Peter mentions below for a quick look at the map in-situ in the actual show, which looks kind of incredible.
