Sesame Street Presents - Follow that Bird Sale
A meddling social worker sends poor Big Bird off to Ocean View, Illinios, for the comforts of family life with his "own kind," the Dodos. But Big Bird is a disaster as a Dodo and, lonely and homesick, he soon sets off on foot for Sesame Street. Can his old friends find him before he runs "afowl" of trouble en route?
Description
Follow That Bird is as much a journey through time as it is a romp past the Sesame Street stop sign. Curiously, the cast members--live ones like Gordon and Maria, not just the Muppets--have the timeless look to them. Only the cameos (by Sandra Bernhard, John Candy, and others) plus a few ill-conceived hairdos clue us in that this feature film was made in 1985. Otherwise, it's all sophisticated Sesame humor and bighearted fun here as Oscar, the Count, and crew set off to rescue Big Bird, who's on the lam from a family of adoptive dodos. Only one conceivable complaint: The latter crop of Street viewers may miss Elmo, who hadn't been created when Bird first flew into theaters. --Tammy La Gorce
Sesame Street Presents - Follow that Bird Customer Review
This is a great movie. I was afraid when I watched it with my daughter that, though I loved it when I was younger, I would find it to be rather disappointing now (as has been the case with many "great" things I remember from my childhood)...not the case at all. I would be glad to watch it many more times again now.
BE AWARE, if you are tempted to bounce over and buy the cheaper 2002 DVD version of this same movie, that it has no widescreen option, and will only play "formatted to fit your screen". If you prefer widescreen stick with this 2009 DVD version.
