Three Sesame Street Stories (Part 1 - Everyone Makes Mistakes)

[@cj222100]

Omg I had this on VHS as a kid!!! It was 3 different cartoons, one of which was a western & one other. I distinctly remembered the line 'Hang on to your feathers little bird!' I must've watched this tape a million times!

[@matthewcasiglio2539]

The western one is wanted the great cookie 🍪 thief and the 1 you can't remember is the city 🪱 worm and the country 🪱 worm

[@HBKman1]

I just woke up out my sleep with this deep memory! Had to find it

[@CameronMetrejean]

I remember when I used to watch this video when I was young. Even today when my mom makes a sharp turn in the car she'll say "Hang on to your feathers, Little Bird!"

[@patrickmichael3384]

I can see why. Caroll Spinney sure made Big Bird sound cute saying “Hang onto your feathers, Little Bird!”

[@inaciosthirdstudio]

I remembered this when I was a child. I even remembered at 3:17 when it had Spongebob music. Primarily because anyone's heard this stock music back in the 90s.

[@jakemusictvs]

I owned this on a Beta video when it was first released in the early 1980s. I was a huge Sesame Street nerd when I was a kid, I remember going to see "Follow That Bird" when it was released at the movies in 1985. I was talking to my younger (by quite a few years, he was born in 1987) cousin the other day, he told me that he had never even heard of Beta (otherwise known as Betamax) before. I told him that it was a video format that competed against VHS in the 1980s. My family did not get a VHS player until the 1990s (after Beta had long lost the video format war).

Is it the same stock music that was used for other stuff, like Ren & Stimpy?

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

[@KingLeonLionheart]

It's kind of scary to have a scene about a tornado.

[@BKDBrian2]

I agree. A tornado ain't a very good concept for a video aimed at pre-schoolers. Makes it look a bit too much like "The Wizard Of Oz" and/or "Twister."

[@ZakWolf]

Brian Draney Speaking of "The Wizard of Oz," this was exactly the reason I added sound clips from that movie to this video's tornado scene in my KZbin Poop of this (most notably "It's a twister! It's a twister!")

[@blondmop92]

Uh huh, I was watching this again after 20 years and it triggered these subtle remembered feelings of unease.

[@kathrynhill5796]

Yeah. I didn’t think a tornado could hit Sesame Street. I mean it’s somewhere near New York City. However, I do remember seeing the episode about a hurricane hitting Sesame Street. And wow! It really destroyed everything and wrecked up part of the neighborhood. Including Big Bird’s nest.

[@BKDBrian2]

In the "poop" version, using the opening of "Treasure of the Endzones," the sixth Ovide episode (a woman on TV is carried away by a strong wind), with the tornado scene in this Sesame Street story, would have made sense to me. That episode can be found in Dutch here on KZbin, and I think it's called "De Schat Van De Aspeken" in that language.

[@BKDBrian2]

@slapshot68 The transcribed audio reads "terrible means just doing" instead (followed by "dot").
