Python Hyena Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird (1985): Dir: Ken Kwapis / Cast: Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty, Waylon Jennings, Sandra Bernhard, Alyson Court: Sesame Street celebrates one of its most beloved characters in Big Bird. He lives on Sesame Street amongst humans as well as other Muppet characters such as Oscar the grouch, Grover, and the Cookie Monster. Central plot regards an authority bird named Miss Finch who cannot mind her own business. Instead she sees Big Bird as unhappy because he doesn't live with other birds. So she sets him up with a family of dodos that are about as much fun as slamming your head repeatedly in the car door. Big Bird agrees and begins the trek back home where he makes interesting encounters. The human actors on Sesame Street set out to meet Big Bird and help him get home while his fellow Muppet pals set out as well. Cookie Monster attempts to devour a car. Grover becomes Super Grover and tries to take flight. Bert and Ernie go by plane. Cameos by Dave Thomas and Joe Flaherty as a couple of scheming circus swindlers out to capture Big Bird for their own use. Waylon Jennings sings the only decent song during the film as he gives Big Bird a lift. Sandra Bernhard works at a grouch diner. Alyson Court even makes an appearance as a youngster sheltering Big Bird on a farm. Delightful family romp that reminds us what true unity is all about. Score: 9 / 10
brettdoyle The movie starts off with Big Bird happily living on Sesame Street in the intercity in liberal and diverse New York City. Sesame Street is the pinnacle of utopia because it has a precise diversity quota. There are Indias, African Americans, Hispanics, a minority of Anglo Saxon European whites, and a diverse animal population.A group of birds come together under the premise that a bird can't possibly happening living with diversity, they must live with their species. They find a new home for Big Bird in and "DoDo birds" that represent Midwestern white suburbanites who are inherently racist, mentally inferior to liberal New Yorkers, and don't associate with other cultures in Belleville, IL. Big Bird does not like his new home as it is impossible for a dumb Midwestern suburban white to be happy.Later in the movie we white rural Americans operating a Circus. Whites business owners clearly do not mind ripping off children, stealing lunches, or abusing animals to pursue a profit motive. At the end the diverse group must rescue Big Bird from the evil white racist business owners. You see, businesses are inherently evil, and only the government cares about individuals. Thank goodness we have liberal groups such as PETA to go after circus owners.Your taxpayer dollars at work to indoctrinate liberal stereotypes into young children who can't yet reach their own conclusions.
kylehaines96 Director Ken Kwapis decides to give us the first Sesame Street. movie with Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird! The film follows Big Bird being taken to a family of dodos because as it turns out Big Bird is 6 years old and is an orphan. Big Bird decides that he wants to go back to Sesame Street and the people of Sesame Street decide to go on a big road trip/wild goose chase. The films message is self explanatory, the acting is terrific and the story is well done. if you want a family movie for all ages then I recommend Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird. It will definitely be worth your time. It is one of the classic pieces of film for Jim Henson and his workshop.Rated G.1hr 28min/88min.****/****
