Follow That Bird (1985)

This movie Among others that are based on children's TV show, this movie creates a wonderful story that actually goes with the flow!!This movie has every element of family entertainment that you can think of... adventure, morals, comic humor, and most of all, the Muppet's that make this movie so memorable for the whole family to enjoy!!!!!It really is the best Seasme Street movie to be made! It also creates the best children's movie ever made for us 90s kids out there who are looking for Nostalgia!!!

The movie starts off with Big Bird happily living on Sesame Street in the intercity in liberal and diverse New York City. Sesame Street is the pinnacle of utopia because it has a precise diversity quota. There are Indias, African Americans, Hispanics, a minority of Anglo Saxon European whites, and a diverse animal population.A group of birds come together under the premise that a bird can't possibly happening living with diversity, they must live with their species. They find a new home for Big Bird in and "DoDo birds" that represent Midwestern white suburbanites who are inherently racist, mentally inferior to liberal New Yorkers, and don't associate with other cultures in Belleville, IL. Big Bird does not like his new home as it is impossible for a dumb Midwestern suburban white to be happy.Later in the movie we white rural Americans operating a Circus. Whites business owners clearly do not mind ripping off children, stealing lunches, or abusing animals to pursue a profit motive. At the end the diverse group must rescue Big Bird from the evil white racist business owners. You see, businesses are inherently evil, and only the government cares about individuals. Thank goodness we have liberal groups such as PETA to go after circus owners.Your taxpayer dollars at work to indoctrinate liberal stereotypes into young children who can't yet reach their own conclusions.

I've had this movie ever since I was a little girl and I remember someone asking me, "Why do you still have a Sesame Street movie in your video collection?" I tell them one, because it has a wonderful storyline attached to it; two, because it features the world-famous Jim Henson's Muppets and three, I don't mind my children watching it with me. Come to think of it, I wouldn't even be embarrassed if my children saw me watching it all by myself. It's that kind of movie, I loved it then and I still love it today.You have to give Sesame Street credit, it's the longest running children's show on television, it's audience has grown to more than 1 million viewers, many were children when the show began in 1969 and are now introducing it to their children. You can take Barney and Thomas the Tank Engine, Teletubbies or even the Wiggles but give me Big Bird and Kermit the Frog any day.

Big Bird decides to leave Sesame Street after being prompted by a social worker to become a part of a dim-wit bird family in the suburbs. Naturally Big Bird starts to realize that he misses his old neighborhood and friends and decides to go back to his rightful place. Silly road-trip movie with the most popular character from the vastly successful PBS series having the spotlight shined on him more than usual. The other Jim Henson Muppets from the series are also along for the tiring affair and so are a few human actors that had no business anywhere near a movie camera. Cameos (by John Candy and Chevy Chase in particular) and elementary-styled songs complete the production's higher points. Suitable for the youngest of age groups, but dull for adults and critically flightless. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
