Special thanks to Sesame Workshop for allowing me to keep this posted.

The rare Sesame Street TV special from 1991 celebrating everybody's favorite eight-foot, yellow bird on his special day; but a certain blue monster may crash the party before it even gets started, as Cookie Monster has his eyes (and his tummy) set on the birthday cake while everyone else passes the time at the skating rink. Will Cookie eat it all before everyone returns for the party? Can Big Bird help teach his best friend, Mr. Snuffleupagus, how to roller skate? Did you see a monster in your mirror when you woke up today?

Relive the classic moments, the memorable songs, and the special celebrity guest appearances like Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg as Big Bird's birthday truly is a bash!

  • Do you suppose the crew had to rebuild the setting after Cookie couldn't control himself? lol

  • @sweetlife031 I think what they did was do a switch out for replicas of things that were cut to look as if they were chewed up by Cookie, then after that was done, they switched back to the standard set elements.

    It's similar to how whenever they need scenes with Muppet characters on the stoop, they switch out the cement steps for hollow ones with holes for the Muppeteers.

  • I tell u no one can do cookie monster the way Frank Oz did.

  • Too true. I've gotten used to David Rudman's Cookie overtime, but indeed, nobody could measure up to Frank.

  • Thank you.

  • No prob!

  • I can't help mentioning this, but I wonder if there were any copyright issues since they used the same song from the Christmas special "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."

  • @GroverKent Thanks A Lot!
