sesame street presents follow that bird | Year: 1985 Classification: Children's Video Directed: - Ken Kwapis Amazing...every time On the first look, Follow that Bird is only a little kids movie, something to occupy a child for a while. And in the beginning for me, that was probably true. I first watched this movie as a little kid. I rented it on tape from the library. Every time we'd go back I'd get it. I watched it so many times. The characters were always lovable (familiar faces like Bert and Ernie, the Count, the Grouch, and all the people from Sesame Street) and I loved singing along to the songs. But now at least 10 years later I still find the movie as charming and fun as ever. I hadn't been to the library in years and as soon as I walked in I went off searching for "that movie with Big Bird in it." Follow that Bird has a great story. It follows all the Sesame Street characters as Big Bird gets sent to live with these crazy Dodo birds and then goes on to run away. His Sesame Street pals and others set off in search of him. And it all combines to be one great goose, or in this case, Big Bird Chase! WONDERFUL movie! I have to agree with the other two reviews--as a married woman, I still love this movie. The songs are great, and the story is heartwarming--basically, it's about a bird adoption agent (Miss Finch) who thinks that Big Bird shouldn't be on Sesame Street because he doesn't have a bird family--she says he should be with his "own kind". She convinces him that being with only birds is best, and they ship him off to Illinois. When he becomes unhappy, he leaves, and both Miss Finch and the Sesame Street crew (along with two slimy brothers who want to catch Big Bird for profit at their amusement park) decide to "Follow that bird!" In the end, Miss Finch decides that you don't need to be with your "own kind" to be happy--that diversity is a good thing, and we can all live together and love one another! If you're a parent, your children will love this. (You will, too). Even now, I like to pop in the movie and watch it with my husband. It's a timeless movie, and I wish every house had a copy of this movie in their possession. A must watch..young and old I watched this movie as a kid, over and over again. I finally wore out the first tape, then my parents bought me another. When i was younger, it would keep my occupied, the singing, the laughs, and different lifestyles of the characters in the movie. I was fascinated with the farm the little boy and girl live on. This movie didn't just last during my childhood, but i'm 17 now and i still love to watch the movie. It has meanings and morals all through the movie. And when you're older and watch the movie, you regroup with your inner child and it's is when you realize what the movie is telling you, that happiness is right in your neighborhood. I finally learned that after watching the movie for 17 years... Buy Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
