It pulled off one of the more unlikely upsets in Oscar history, winning the UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestAnimatedShortFilm, over the much longer and higher-profile favorite ''WesternAnimation/MickeysChristmasCarol''. In 1986 Picker incorporated it, along with some other Claymation material and a live-action frame story (starring Josh Saviano before his stint on ''Series/TheWonderYears''), into a half-hour TV special called ''My Friend Liberty'', which piggybacked onto the hoopla surrounding the centennial of the Art/StatueOfLiberty.

The short is basically a love poem to UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity. It opens with a character who is obviously inspired by New York City mayor [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Koch Ed Koch]], sleeping on a park bench. Koch wakes up and starts talk-singing the theme from ''Film/NewYorkNewYork'' ("If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere"). He then wanders around the city, visiting several landmarks and encountering many celebrities, some strongly associated with New York of the 1980s (Creator/DavidLetterman), and others long dead (Creator/HumphreyBogart shows up as a cop).

!!Tropes:
* BigApplesauce: Basically a tour of and celebration of New York.
* TheBigRottenApple: Played for BlackComedy. The short opens, of course, with Koch as a homeless bum. There's also a shot of Koch on a graffiti-splattered subway car, riding between a scary tattooed thug and a lunatic with a knife in his teeth.
* TheEnd: Ends with Koch collapsing face-first into his sundae to reveal "THE END" written on his bald head.
* NoPlotNoProblem: No story.
* ShoutOut: To many past and then-present celebrities associated with New York. As well as [[Creator/MADMagazine Alfred E. Newman]].
* TitleDrop: A visual one, as Koch is actually served a sundae at the end of the short.
