I had the privilege of meeting Spinney in 2018 he was a guest at a comic con in my state, We talked at his panel for a good 10-15 minutes and during the conversation he told me that doing ‘Follow that Bird’ was one of his absolute FAVORITE things he’s ever done in not just Sesame Street but in his life too. He is a such a pure, humble and talented soul and it’s a shame that he passed away

[@rachelberrythegleequeen.3221]

I loved that movie, I felt so bad for big bird when they turned him blue and honest sidenote Carol Spinney was absolutely amazing.

[@HarryThomasPictures]

The moment where Big Bird sings in the cage and then sheds a tear😢... I just burst into tears!

[@RainbowGalaxyMatt777]

Same too I actually cry tear it sad

[@dravenjorden2421]

This is The Saddest Song of the Entire Movie :(

[@princedonovaughn1182]

You described my love for Big Bird so accurately.

[@mariajimenafigueroa8311]

R.I.P Carol Spinney

[@princessamanda1234]

Rip carol spinney you were a great big bird and a great Oscar the grouch

[@stevennorthrup5790]

This has to be one of my most favorite movies from Sesame Street, alongside The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland, but the first film was way better. Surely the film didn’t do well at the box office back then, but every Sesame Street fan love this film. This film is, to me, a cult classic.

[@BazTheStoryteller]

When I was a kid, I would hide in a dustbin. One day my dad found me in there and asked was I playing Hide and Seek, I answered "No, I'm Oscar the Grouch" .

[@Jambareeqi]

That's adorable xD and much more normal than when me & my brother asked my dad to make us coffins, after watching an episode of "Goosebumps"

[@BazTheStoryteller]

Have you ever seen the Ryan Reynolds film "Buried"?

[@Jambareeqi]

Baz The Storyteller Nope

[@BazTheStoryteller]

Sam Pepper and his mate had to spend 24 hours buried in a coffin. The funniest part is when his friend had to pee.

[@juliezimmerman3476]

This Film I watched over and over in my childhood. I agree that Earnie was a negligent character. Not knowing any better as.a child found the airplane scene very entertaining. What I loved most about the film, as a child and as an adult, of the sesame characters both Muppets and humans sticking together and the road trip fun. RIP to Jim Henson always thinking outside the box and how outdoing one challenge after another in his films. I read somewhere that the Bert and Ernie airplane musical number Upside-down World was is indeed performed upside down I think 18 feet off the ground. Also, the risks and discomfort that Jim and Frank took to meet these challenges to WOW audiences.

[@danielcontreras561]

5:35 Here's another solution to this problem. When the Sesame Street characters are starting to rescue Big Bird, there's a moment where Bert and Ernie are in their flight gear and head to their plane. Bert nervously asks if Ernie is capable of flying a plane, to which Ernie says yes and laughs. Why not have Bert fly it? He's more responsible than Ernie.

[@negativeanthony]

"Follow That Bird" is actually a very good movie--perhaps too good for a "children's movie." A league above "Elmo in Grouchland." It's one of those flicks you can watch as an adult--Sesame Street fan or not--and not feel totally ashamed. Having come from a family that's dealt with social workers, the movie's plot well resonates with me.

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

I loved this movie as a kid and still do. In fact when I was old enough to get a Blockbuster card, this was the first movie I rented.

[@robertahenley4115]

The last time I saw this movie was when my mom was alive. I absolutely love this movie. Best movie ever. I haven’t seen this movie in a long time. Oh, how I miss seeing this movie. It makes me think of my mom who sadly passed away in 2016.

[@mariajimenafigueroa8311]

Aww, how sad.

[@muppetsretrofan8873]

I love this movie so much, and the scene when Big Bird is painted blue and locked in a cage always makes me sad. But you know something? I actually think that the Sesame Street bands [Little Jerry and the Monotones, Little Chrissy and The Alphabeats, How Now Brown and the Moo Wave] should've had a movie of their own! Also, I think other puppet shows like Pinwheel and Eureeka's Castle could make good movies.

[@TGMD1986]

A childhood favorite of mine! Thank you so much for making this video! I'm glad that you didn't overlook this one. Because I love Sesame Street so much! And IMO, this is the best movie from them.

[@yamitay9258]

Ohhhh, the memories I have with this film. One of those guilty pleasures of mine. I have such a big soft spot for Sesame Street. Its just one of those childhood classics that I refuse to part ways with. Excellent review, Jambareeqi! :)

[@Larry]

I remember this coming on TV for the first time as a kid, and I must admit I found it pretty boring back then. Seen it again since as an adult and enjoyed it, but it just couldn't keep my attention when young. Same thing with TRON.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

Hey, Larry Bundy Jr.!! I Guess You Liked It Too, Eh??

[@guthriebarrett]

i still find tron boring

[@guthriebarrett]

This was one of my favorite movies when I was little. And mind you I am much younger than this movie, so that means it still really holds up

This movie does bring up very important messages. Things they don't talk about in today's kid shows.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

I Love Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird------BEST MOVIE EVER!!

[@thomasmalone7454]

That I'm so blue song is absolutely depressing I always tear up everytime I hear it

[@tsarmikislav938]

Wait If big bird, which is already gigantic, is a kid then that means that when he is an adult he will be as tall as a building

[@adamwatson2914]

The word panic makes me think that all of these puppet movies are going to be scary lol

[@Jambareeqi]

It's something I've realised lately, but too late to change the show's name now.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

Change The Show's Name??? I Don't See Anything Wrong With It!!

[@rachelberrythegleequeen.3221]

I love this movie and big bird.

[@racheljackson4428]

do you know that Oscar the grouch and big bird were voiced by the same person? weird huh.

[@articakennedy4822]

This video is making me feel even more sad that Carroll Spinney retired before Sesame Street turned fifty! To be fair, he recorded lines for the fiftieth season, but still!

[@racheljackson4428]

yes me too. also there is a sesame street land coming to seaworld orlando on march 27th the same date as the opening of lego movie world.

[@jtbamb6145]

I loved this movie when I was little. Ms. Finch used to scare me tho 😅

[@EsmeMarion]

One of my favorite childhood movies! Aaaa I wish I could find my copy from when I was little ;u;

I agreed with you. big bird is my favourite too.

[@gmanley1]

Hey Jambareeqi, I have a question: Would you like to see a live-action/puppet/animated Sesame Street movie adaptation by Universal, Illumination, and Sesame Workshop?

[@Jambareeqi]

Depends on the story

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

A Live actio/Puppet/Animated Sesame Street film?? That might not be quite bad..........if only I know how that would work out.

[@georgerobertson7010]

Jambareeqi do you think this movie handles adult themes such as animal cruelty better than films like rio or Ferdinand?

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

Its Still Been 4 Or 5 Years Since I Watched This Movie!!

[@michaelnally2841]

Is it sad I never watched this film when I was a kid?

[@georgerobertson7010]

I never watched this movie as a kid either which is ironic since Sesame Street was a massive part of my childhood

[@mbayacotton6903]

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

I Actually Have This Movie On Video And DVD!!

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

This Is A Great Tribute To Jim Henson!!

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

And Carol Spinny Does A Great Job Voicing And Preforming The Roles Of Oscar The Grouch And Big Bird Before He Died & Someone To Take His Place!!!

[@spongebobcoolduke1537]

Elmo in grouchland and Blue's big city adventure does the same thing and I hope the third movie will do the same. If only dora and the lost city of gold was like this by staying faithful to the style and feel of the show, keeping the interactivity in the style of blue's clues to simulate the interactivity style of the original show and feeling like a real movie at the same time along with bringing back old characters and old elements like the explorer stars, some of the classic outfits and filming in both real locations and cgi digital ones in the style of the original show and especially in the costumes and cgi character designs.

[@Zencast5]

Big bird's muppeteer is still alive??

[@Jambareeqi]

Yep, and still working. Matt Vogel (who is also the new puppeteer for Kermit) is his current understudy.

[@Jambareeqi]

Thanks for the update Dillon! Wasn't too sure after the events of "I am Big Bird"

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

I Still Miss Jim Henson!!

[@princedonovaughn1182]

Carroll preforms neither character now live,he does however still voice Big Bird and Oscar at least. He can't preform Big Bird anymore due to strength and when the redid the sets for the latest seasons of sesame street the trash can space is now to small and not much room for the muppeteers to use anymore.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

I Thought He Did!!

What's Your Favorite Song From Follow That Bird And Elmo In Grouchland?

[@Jambareeqi]

I don't have a favourite from Elmo in Grouchland, but my favourite from Follow that bird was maybe "Easy Going Today"

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

I Haven't Heard That Song In A While, Its Catchy!! And That's Alright If You Don't Have A Favorite Song From Elmo In GrouchLand (And To Be 100% Honest, Its Been Awhile Since I Lasted Watched Elmo In GrouchLand....So I Can't Remember Which Song Is My Favorite Either)!!

It's a shame Elmo never got any lines if he did he'd be after his boyfriend big Bird with a shotgun and at the end he engolfs himself in big birds rechtum

[@SuperAV21]

This movie was made & released before Elmo was even considered to be a major character on Sesame Street because for the first half of the 1980s (1980 - 1985), he was an afterthought to children who watched that television show.
