  • They're off to the library to look up stem-cell books

  • Is that his real-life son?

  • This is so fucking disturbing! Why on earth would they expose this hideous ''Vegetable'' to children. They should have locked Christopher Reeve in a cellar somewhere instead of exposing his intubated-quadriplegic butt to the world and forever traumatizing us. Thank God he's dead!

  • @Counterbrilliance that's so mean 

  • @goldeyedsoul2111 Well I have to be, he was ''crippled'' after all and handicapped people have no value and deserve to be spit on. Shame they let him out in the open like that to be exposed to ''children, what an embarrassment.

  • @Counterbrilliance Are you serious? Because either this is a joke or you officially qualify as one of the worst human beings on the planet.

  • @zainuq A Quadriplegic is not a human being! so there for it doesn't make me a bad person for making fun of one. Get a sense of humor bozo.

  • At least he is now in a place called Heaven, where once again he is able to move his arms and legs :-)

  • "really glad you have that neat chair"

    really glad

    neat chair

    "I hope i can keep up with you and your fancy chair"

  • SO ONE MORE TIME MR. CHRISTOPHER REEVES, TAKE UP THE MIC AND SPIT THE VERSE PLEASE. ~Emin3m

  • The gap between the childlike tone and the pain and sorrow lying underneath makes this video deeply moving to me.

  • Sesame street is fantastic as the little monster asked Mr. Reeves in a way that any young child would, and Big Bird didn't scold the child for being inquisitive but supported the child's question with more questions the child was probably going to ask anyway. I think people are conditioned to ignore disabilities or try to not bring attention to them or even stop their children from asking questions. Children ask questions, just like this and it is OK to ask and learn.

  • My God... My idol.... I miss my idol so much... I can still remember the first time I saw Superman on that old TV of ours... Christopher Reeve's portrayal of Superman is the best... I cried when I saw the video above because of what his accident has done to his life... I am currently watching his movie "Somewhere in Time"... I just only wish he's alive today. Requiscat in pace... My idol.

  • i would ask and talk about his ACTING and he being SUPERMAN and other things i love GOOD IDEAS and all to get my MIND HIGH IN MY IQ AKA TO BE MORE EXTREME SMART

  • sad sad SAD i would never ask in that way STUPID BIG BIRD me i would ask in a RESPECTING WAY ask if its ok to ask a EXTREME VERY PERSONAL THING and dont mean any DISRESPECT BY IT on what your going to say or ask

  • it hard to make my mind up here I LIKE THE VID its CHRISTOPHER REEVE and the only thing i dislike is the fact he cant be WALKING and using his ARMS and in a WHEEL CHAIR i just like to remember him as SUPERMAN and as a GREAT ACTOR before his EXTREME THING WITH THE HORSE BREAKING HIS BACK

  • in a way FUCKING BLOODY HELL ITS NOT OK DUDE it SUCKS cant use your ARMS and LEGS but i do give CHRISTOPHER RESPECT FOR HE HAD A STRONG SOUL AND SOME OF HIS PRIDE TO STILL LIVE ON EXTREME TRUE RESPECT

  • STUPID LAPTOP SCARTCH the part at the WORD that i ment to put there ALL HUMANS ARE NOT BORN A ACTOR/ACTRESS

  • It's ironic that this guy played Superman. RIP Chris.

  • @jcs101194 HE JUST WENT HOME FOR HE IS SUPERMAN AND ALL WAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS

  • his son sure didn't inherit his acting skills.

  • @TheHeroTutorials ok 1st MAY I POINT OUT that know HUMAN is BORN a ACTOR or ACTRESS they LEARN it in FILM / ACTING SCHOOL its if they want to be a ACTOR or ACTRESS they think in there own way of FREEWILL of mind and its all so a PERSONAL on thinking if you want to do FILMS

  • I know that unable people don't want that others feel pity for them but here, I can't help

  • BEST SUPERMAN EVER!

  • You know, I don't think I have cried at at Sesame Street video since they did the episode on Mr Hooper's death, I remember crying all day when they did that one but I look back on it now and I realise that they handled it beautifully, unlike other shows who would replace the actor or say "He's moved on" with no explanation

    That is the great thing about Sesame Street, it doesn't talk down to kids at all, even about the hard stuff like death and here, a man who is paralysed from the neck down.

  • even without his arms and legs, he is still considered the real Superman from the movies and real life RIP Chris

  • @LoneRebelX No matter who plays the role in the future, Chris will always be the true Superman

  • awkward as hell. shouldnt have been on sesame street but i do respect him

  • @football5680 Awkward as hell? Only a really sheltered person would say that.

  • this made me cry

  • @emilytonyterri ITS BREAKING MY HEART I AM BEYOND CRYING FOR NO GREAT MAN OF SUCH EXTREME GOOD IN HIS SOUL and HEART and HIS PRIDE and HIS LEGS/BACK SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN TAKING AWAY FROM CHRISTOPHER REEVE SAD WHAT HAPPEN TO HIM STILL RESPECT A VERY NICE MAN HE JUST WENT HOME TO THE HEAVENS FOR HE IS A GOD HE IS IMMORTAL for the GODS made him a GOD

  • I wanted to watch Sesame Street to be joyful, dammit!

  • I started crying.

    R.I.P. Christopher reeve

  • is that really his son

  • its a shame what happened to him, and it was an ironic and sad accident.

    But he kept acting til the end.

    RIP superman

  • Comment removed

  • south park

  • I mean 2004

  • Didn't he die 2009

  • @CockPorridgePaul How the fuck can you come here and say these things?As far as i remember, he was a famous actor, made a lot of good movies despite Superman being is most known role.

    And what about you? Are you famous? Are you loved like he was? Or noone will mourn your death?

    Grab yourself a girl and have a life.

  • He is gorgeous, love how this explains to children his condition in a way they will understand x

  • :'c

  • That wheelchair is so badass!! Long live SUPERMAN!!! We love you!

  • Oh god. This is heartbreaking. Can't believe how children manage watching this. :(

  • Wow. Seriously... What are curse words doing on a video page meant for children?!

    On a better note, I'm glad they could explain to kids what happened to Christopher Reeve without being too overt or too sugar-coating.

  • There's something about kids' shows like Sesame Street that made them great: they always encouraged kids that you can overcome adversity and hardships like what Christopher Reeve went through. Even before Barney soon became way too happy-go-lucky: there was an episode when the kids grandparents came to visit, but one of the kids got sad when their grandparents couldn't come. Everybody helped out by giving words of encouragement to that one kid.

    I miss those days so much...

  • I noticed that too, he's all like "yeah, I'm gunna tear that shit up". The working end of that tube is crammed up his ass btw.

  • @TheCauzeOfWetPantiez You too moron, I still see that your comments are pissing people off, So don't bother.

  • @TheCauzeOfWetPantiez did someone do things to you that you didnt like when you were a child?

  • I have left my message on your you tube channel and without denegrading myself I say FUCK YOU

  • Reeve reminds me of my mother. He paralyzed 7 years ago, like Reeve did. I admire both of them, my mother and Reeve, because they didn't stop, they didn't start to worry their situation. My mother fought his old house for herself, even though insurance companies and other bastards tried to stop her.

    Being paralyzed doesn't mean it's end of the world. You have to start living again, try to recover and move on on your life. Reeve did.

    R.I.P Reeve

  • I think this is an awesome segment that any kid should see! We are all equal and should be in the eyes of anyone weather we are powered by battery or our own power! God Bless!

  • RIP 

  • dude who knew sesame street was sooooooo mean

  • Thx Cristopher for all the humanity you show us. Thx for the inspiration you share with all the people... and... i dont care the bad coments they put here. All that people believe are inmortals but they arent... You was the real men of steel!! And still are!

  • We Miss You Christopher ....R.....I......P

  • How Ironic I'd be the bad guy Kryptonite the Green Cronic HAHAHAHA

  • It must have been really hard for him to agree to do this skit and say those lines, but it's great that he did. It's important that kids know there were people in the world with conditions like his, but that despite his disabilities his spirits were not broken. RIP Chris

  • this vids really sad :( I liked christopher reeve alot its sad that he got parylzed over a horse :( long live superman and him.

  • I couldnt help but notice Reeve keeps sneaking in glances at the kids crotch :(

  • It's kinda strange seeing him explaining about his accident, his wheelchair, how he does to breath.....

  • He was SOOOO beautiful!!! Even in that condition he looked so handsome. The most beautiful man in Hollywood ever!

  • Comment removed

  • i love him in superman movies. i have a brother [young] and we used to watch those movies with my cousins when we were kids. miss him very much :)

  • RIP Christopher Reeves......He was , is and forever will be ...the REAL Superman.....I can say this a thousand times if I wanna....

  • @solidsnake2340 and AL PACINO and JACK NICHOLSON and ROBERT DENIRO and ARMAND ASSANTE would be all so why i want o go in the FILM BIS and become a FILM DIRECTOR and be all so a MAN that is IDEALISTIC and thinks in a way of REALITY and some times out of the BOX and give every thing that i have and just talk with my WRITERS ART DEPARTMENT STUNT GUYS and STUNT LADY'S the ACTORS and ACTRESSES to see if they like my IDEAS and i would like to here there IDEAS so i can use them on FILM

  • its werid how some people die from ironic deaths. Life can be so unfair sometimes i will never feel sorry for myself again or feel like my life isnt worth living .

  • Who would have guessed that Christopher Reeve was to become a real-life Superman? Now that's a hero!

    And what a lovely way of explaining the wheelchair in a way that is not overwhelming to children and focuses on what he could do instead of what he could not? Very nice!

    RIP, Christopher Reeve, and may you fly among the stars for eternity.

  • A man of true inner strength. Rest In Peace, Mr. Reeves.

  • he was so amazing

  • Anyone see how Big Bird put a supportive hand on Will's shoulder?

    This is why I love Carol Spinney.

    Christopher Reeve was a childhood hero. In fact, not only was he Superman, he was also Miss Piggy's favourite star. He was also a Unitarian, like I am. He was just so inspiring.

    I'll miss him forever.

  • Hop on my lap you little muppet.

  • Chris you'll always be our Superman

  • Comment removed

  • Eminem, I'm coming to kill you Always hated you and I still do You'll never fill my shoes, my Superman costume Doesn't even fit you They don't feel you You're taking this shit too far Who do you think you are Hang my suit up in the armoire Everyday I hate you more and more Throw down the cardboard Let's breakdance if you think you're hardcore
  • Put Christopher Reeves on a Unicycle with a kickstand Kick it up and push him and lead him Right into quicksand Here, you need a hand, big man? Grab hold of this branch With both hands Man, they don't understand I'm just a sick man Now everybody's pissed at me Like it's my fault This name rhymes with so many different words Geez So one last time, Mr. Christopher Reeves Won't you break it down for me And just spit the verse, please!
  • Its so sad to see him like that after he portrayed a man who could do virtually anything :( i was only born in 1994 but i grew up watching chris's movies....its so strange to see my childhood hero in such a way...hes a true inspiration

  • Jesus... it takes a lot of courage to talk about his accident like that! Instead of locking himself in his room to drown in self-pity, he decided to explain how important his family is to him. Christopher Reeve was a REAL man! RIP!

  • Fuck horses dude!!

  • poor guy.

  • hmm that little puppet must hav had a battery bak to make it move and to do its voice and shit cus u can see it sits on his lap alone and it had alittle thing n the back that blend it wit chris shirt so yah lol

  • Whats funny is christopher reeves was allergic to horses but took meds so he could ride them and it was a horse who paralysed him, mustve bin allergic for a reason!

  • @TheShadyIady sadly shit happens and life is unfairrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so yah he paid the price wich is sadly wich led him to cariac arrest wich he died from one njury led to his death sadly alot of downsides

  • @Treylogan218BR Yea ay sad to be paralysed from the neck down.

  • @TheShadyIady yah that would suckk and they said him and his wife could still hav sex? how u gnna feel it the wife could feet it but the guy lol i mean why hav sex if u cant feel it man thats gotta suck

  • @Treylogan218BR Lmao yea ay be like "alryt I'll jus lay bak watch some tv go for gold honey", lol

  • We miss you Christopher! A true hero!!

  • Eminem is the real Superman.

  • @lesrambles1  fuck eminem dude yah i want some MNMS N MY MOUTH BITCHHH

  • I thought he was superman only when he had his suit on

  • when he says he can do lots of things with the help of his *family* and then gives a big smile... priceless. gave me joy

  • man of steel

  • superman is awsome always will b

  • Comment removed

  • Chris was a really nice guy. So was Michael Jackson, Ironically they were both legendary!

  • EMINEM<3

  • wow.. bless his heart.

  • like if medicine ball eminem brought you to this

  • poor guy

  • You're taking this shit to far.

    Who do you think you are hang your suit up in the paramour.

  • @VinayakaHalemane Hes not really "jealous"... Well, He says that he is like superman himself, in real life, and reeve is like not a real superman next to him, just an actress... Hes not saying that in his songs, but thats what I think...

    Still, the other theory is more logical but damn its long...

  • chris is so motivating!!

  • I won't lie, I've laughed at my share of jokes, doesn't mean I can't be touched by this. This was a very moving skit! You could literally see in Reeves face how hard this was. How "Big Bird" brought up how he met him before the accident. Wonderful way to explain to children that sometimes people change. Very tastefully done!

  • Like, even though your spine was hosed, you were a real super man. Way to go, babe!

  • @VinayakaHalemane Ya I Agree... Its a low move by eminem But in his 2 new albums (Recovery and bad meets evil hes not saying a word 'bout him... Maybe 'cause it was after hes recovery)

    Eminem bio is a long thing... I Have 2 logical reasons why he dissed him...

    the first one is a very long theory that connects with the illuminati shit .. very very long theory..

    second is that eminem loves and allways wanted to be superman so hes kinda "Jealous" In reeve

  • Tears. But someone like Christopher wouldn't want anyone to cry over him. :) Legend, true, true legend :) R.I.P you hero. You brought us so many great films like Superman, Remains of the Day and my fave Somewhere in Time. You were and always will be amazing :) xx

  • Dude, big bird seemed like a dick...

  • @VinayakaHalemane

    There never was a reason for Eminem to diss him. First off Eminem is one those individuals with great talent but with alot of bottled up anger as well. Being raised in a tough enviroment and being really poor can change a person but you learn from these things, this is why though I really don't listen to Eminem as much he's been a hypocrite about many things and he just insults people who never even uttered a word about him.

  • el fue el heroe de mi infancia... lo recuerdo con mucho cariño...

  • @VinayakaHalemane Well Im like one of the biggest Eminem fan's out there.. But I Just cant fucking understand why he disses him I Searched everywhere... When I Just started listening to him he dissed people he had beef with, then I saw he disses people he hates... But in one song he said abut Reeve "He used to be like a hero to me"... How come Reeve is in a wheelchair? I Heard he tried to be superman for real dosent he? If so, I Understand why Eminem Disses him...

  • I am so sorry

  • @VinayakaHalemane Eminem Dissed him like 305739 times in his songs :O

  • R.I.P Christopher

  • This is so sad.

  • @MetakDarr eminem laughed at this

  • it was obvious that he was very uncomfortable talking abt his disability. A thousand curses on sesame street for degrading people with disabilities everywhere by stating the obvious. I mean how the fudge does this assist in the integration and inclusion of disabled people in American society. I understand that it ST has to explain to 4 yr olds, disabilities, however this clip portrays disabled people as functionless beings, which is portrayed in Zoe's statements.

  • @osamabradleybin Actually I think he was the one who wanted this to be done, to teach kids more about disabled people. I don't theink they would have done this if he didnt approve. You just dont get it :)

  • @osamabradleybin you are thinking one sidedly... do you really think he would have done the segment if he was uncomfortable let alone let his son participate!? He is a true hero of persistence in the face of adversity.. even yours!

  • he's my hero

  • ......I think i should stay out of this one.

  • Poor guy. May he rest in peace.

  • christopher reeves was a phenomenal swimmer

  • Sesame Street started getting dopey after 1987.

  • That is a pretty sweet chair.

  • Eminem dosent hate him he said in his song medicine ball that his name just rhymes with So many words...

  • @chrisballer94 He also dissed him in........ Rain man purple pills my first single, on fire underground, Buffalo Bill, psycho........ Thats all that I can remember O_O

  • @1037478 'medicine ball' especially, to me that was the worst diss out of all of them lol

  • Comment removed

  • I'd love to be in a wheelchair anyone wanna shoot me in the spine? Seriously you get to rest 24 7 don't have to work, only prob no more moderetly priced hookers

  • @14rellikreggin88 I hope you fall down the stairs you AIDS riddled burns victim. You will get your well deserved life of being a cripple. And you have a really small willy.

  • And Sesame Street gets real ... This made me cry. Such a horrible thing to happen to such a wonderful man.

  • @SpiderXxPirate Yeah, especially since he didn't reall survive, he was just able to live for ine more years because of his treatment

  • that was sad

  • This may seem like a morbid question, but if he was paralyzed from his neck all the way down, how did he did his 'things' in the bathroom?

  • @Snowwie88 Catheter probably

  • It's so hard for me to see, the character I loved the most in a wheelchair, and the worse part is, he died ... And still he is happy, no matter what.

  • I think I know where Wiz Khalifa got his inspiration for the song "Roll Up".

  • you can see how will was emotional her, he knew what his father had to endure for the remainder of his life, and will stayed strong for chris.

  • RIP Superman. Christopher Reeve will never be forgotten. x

  • Eminem brought me here

  • how can the guy above have 6 thumbs up??? tension? where? it seemed well scripted not tense at all. maybe your mistaking that he cant act like he could before because of the strain he has on just doing what he can.

  • May they rest in peace, my love and respect go out to him and his beautiful wife. People who know how to love are the love we feel after they pass away. Life, love and music, inspirations to hope and to remember the feelings are the things we take with us when we go. Everything else is just a detail, our life is only a detail in the scheme of love that is the life of the universe. That last moment of letting go is only the leap into the bigger love as a drop rejoins the ocean. Do not fear.

  • Reeve was a beautiful person.

  • n whats worse is the kid in this, he lost his dad in 2004, then his mother to cancer in 05

  • "i cant move my arms either, but thats ok" forget the superman you see in the movies, this guy right here is superman.

  • @Brady2k10 AW it brings a tear to my eye because he looses air when he says 'but thats ok'

  • Such is life & they say theres a god...

  • @M3GATr0LL2000 well spotted captain obvious, yeah thats real funny laughing at a man who cant walk or move his arms and has to rely on breathing apparatus in order to breathe, grow up you fucking idiot.

  • Damn, Eminem bagged on this guy on his Encore and Relapse albums.

  • @RockerForLife74 i like em, i got a vid on my channel of em, but anyone who says nethin bad bout this guy they can fuck themselves, even em, i mean eminem goes round dissin on ppl n its funny but not this guy, eminem should know wher to draw the line.

  • @Brady2k10 Ya I like Eminem too, but dissing this guy is taking it too far. Listen to Medicine Ball (Relapse) and My First Single (Encore).

  • wow superman..in a wheel chair...respect,,,,,,,,,,,to you,,,,,for years to come,,,you will always be a superman.

  • Somewhere in time . . .

  • Makes me sad...and yet happy at the same time

  • Chris had no reserves about being in his chair he thought it was cool (not being in the chair, The chair itself. ) He "accepted" hiz fate. and delt with it accordingly
