Sesame Street Presents Follow that Bird [VHS] Specifications

Follow That Bird is as much a journey through time as it is a romp past the Sesame Street stop sign. Curiously, the cast members–live ones like Gordon and Maria, not just the Muppets–have the timeless look to them. Only the cameos (by Sandra Bernhard, John Candy, and others) plus a few ill-conceived hairdos clue us in that this feature film was made in 1985. Otherwise, it’s all sophisticated Sesame humor and bighearted fun here as Oscar, the Count, and crew set off to rescue Big Bird, who’s on the lam from a family of adoptive dodos. Only one conceivable complaint: The latter crop of Street viewers may miss Elmo, who hadn’t been created when Bird first flew into theaters. –Tammy La Gorce

Sesame Street Presents Follow that Bird [VHS] Overviews

A meddling social worker sends poor Big Bird off to Ocean View, Illinios, for the comforts of family life with his “own kind,” the Dodos. But Big Bird is a disaster as a Dodo and, lonely and homesick, he soon sets off on foot for Sesame Street. Can his old friends find him before he runs “afowl” of trouble en route?

[if "Sesame Street Presents - Follow That Bird" exemplifies what is best about the Sesame Street brand. A very heartfelt story that wisely puts the appealing Big Bird front and center in a versatile movie, I loved it as a child and recommend it wholeheartedly as a movie with true cross-generational appeal.

Big Bird is happily living on Sesame Street as the movie opens, enjoying his life and his trustworthy diverse friends. All that changes when a bird named Miss Finch of the satirical Feathered Friends Society fussily convinces Big Bird he'd be happier living exclusively with birds. The remainder of the movie follows a very unhappy Big Bird as he tries aimlessly to walk back to Sesame Street from a place called Oceanview, Illinois. He is trailed by both Miss Finch(voiced by Sally Kellerman of the movie "MASH",) and the true friends who want to see him safely on Sesame Street again.

This is a wonderful movie with underappreciated songs and a sizable amount of star cameos from the likes of Waylon Jennings and John Candy. Deep themes of personal connections to people, loyalty, and love ground the movie powerfully. I give it a very high recommendation.]

Old friends making music fun – A. E Sheely – Kissimmee, FL United States
We purchased this for our delayed four-year-old son and within just a few viewings, he was singing along with Waylon Jennings (Ain’t No Road Too Long) and Alaina Reed (One Little Star). He has a better understanding of emotions after watching Big Bird go through such a range. It’s now our go-to movie for bedtime.

Great childhood memories – Ellie Moon –
Great visual quality. Above all we enjoyed the childhood memories connected to the movie and its characters. Recommended!
