I GOT THIS MOVIE FOR MY KIDS WHEN IT CAME OUT ON VHS AND IT IS STILL MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME. ALOT OF LAUGHS AND THE SINGING IS EXCEPTIONAL. VERY ENTERTAINING FOR ALL. NOW I WATCH IT WITH MY THREE GRANDDAUGHTERS.DVD Review: Elmo?
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this film and cannot wait to own it but I have one question:
Why is Elmo on the cover? As I recall he was not in this film.
DVD Review: If You Watched This As A Child Like I Did...
Summary: 5 Stars
Buy it to watch with your kids. I was looking for this DVD forever, and then I discovered Amazon.com... I was thrilled to see that they had it!!! I bought this so I could share some of my childhood with my daughter. It kind of bought us closer. Cute movie. Sesame Street is a big hit with any 2-5 year old!!!DVD Review: Following in dad's footsteps
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my son when he was 2 back in 1985 (on VHS). He watched it every night (sometimes twice a night) for a long time. Unfortunately one of the other children copied a washing machine commercial right in the middle of the tape. When he became a dad I wanted to get it for his daughter and looked everywhere for a copy. When I found it here on Amazon I ordered it right away. Now they watch it together and have a great time. Sometimes the classics, or new classics, make the best movies. Big Bird never goes out of style.DVD Review: " come fly with me in an upside world ... there's fish that fall out of the sea..."
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the finest Muppet productions of the mid 1980's. The films songs, "Upside Down World", "Easy Goin' Day", "Ain't No Road Too Long" and Big Birds lament "I'm a Blue Bird", are songs which have stayed alive for many children the world over.
Sesame Street's Follow that Bird, as I recall, was the first film to tell a story about the streets characters and we were invited to see more of their world ... the street itself was rebuilt and expanded and had a rich realistic feel and artistically the look was very credible and contrasted the Muppet characters more imaginatively.
Everything about the production was inspiring, the story was clear and tight, characters were very well performed, the puppetry as you might expect was first rate and parents enjoyed seeing the comic talents from John Candy and Chevy Chase who cameo ... Kermit even makes an appearance as his role as Muppet Reporter and if you look carefully you can see Elmo sometimes in the background, but you have to remember, this was all before he became a big star.
Follow that Bird is really Big Birds story and for a generation who remember Sesames early years it is about time the big yellow chap got some cheers again for being such an inspiring figure. The production naturally has the Henson stamp on it but this is a film which once again supports the goals and aspirations of The Children's Television Workshop and if you haven't seen this film yet or you are thinking of showing it to your children for the first time, then do purchase a copy as this film does not play down to kids at all ... as with all the early Henson productions and related projects the Henson troop found themselves involved in, they always conveyed what they felt they would want their children to understand about the world and what they created was first rate entertainment which had something real in the offering.
This edition is presented in it's original theatrical format.
Description of Sesame Street Presents - Follow that Bird
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?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
