Phil's Condensed Films 6: Follow That Bird (1985)

I`m 20 now but big bird will always be in my heart he was my favorite character as a baby!

Wow, this video brought back memories, although it's a little strange to see how much you really do love it.

Do you remember that animated dream sequence where Big Bird imagines being with a family of his own, and in his bedroom we see a St. Louis Cardinals pennant. The music in the background is an off-key rendition of the traditional standard "No Place Like Home."

Yeah, that's a cool scene. I actually commented on it, but cut it to fit the YouTube length requirements.  (I'm naturally long-winded...as if you couldn't tell...)

You know, maybe you ought to split this chapter in two parts not only to include the aforementioned scene, but also:
*Big Bird screaming "HELP! HELP!" in a climaxing pitch
*The Sleaze Brothers getting arrested for "counterfeiting, fraud, extortion, impersonating a dentist, stealing an apple from a kid" by the State Trooper (John Candy). I also like it when Sid cries "Sam! The bird's gone! The bird's gone!"
*

Yep, as silly as this movie is, it's just so much fun. I really do wish we got more Muppet films while Henson was alive. They're just not the same.

Which sesame movie was the one where a building was burning and fire fighters came and the people or whatever inside were afraid of them.. it really scared me as a kid.. i'm curious to see it now though.

This was the only Sesame Street movie up until Elmo in Grouchland, which was made in the 2000s, I think. Are you sure it was a Muppet film? It doesn't ring a bell.

great commentary! loving your analysis of mr snuffleupagus. He is frightening! keep it up!

The bad guys who capture him paint him blue as apart of a sad little number that they made him do at their ripoff carnival.
